Disable one of two languages

cristic

Hi there,

So, I have 2 languages on my Flarum install. If I'll disable english, do the users that have chosen english as the main language will have errors? (and by errors I mean the translation strings instead of texts)

I tried taking a quick look in the database, but I don't see where this user setting is (so I can set the language myself to the one that remains). If someone knows please leave a comment ?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Yep, looks like disabling the user-selected language will turn off the language strings and make it ugly. You might change the default to English, change it back to your preferred language, and then disable English. That should reset the user settings (at least it did from my limited testing).

jordanjay29 thanks for your answer ?

Just one question : the user selected language it is not kept on the server side (in the database) ?

It's saved as a BLOB under users > preferences.

EDIT: For example, if I download the BLOB and open it in a text editor, I get this string for a test account where I set the language to German: (formatting edited for legibility)

{
    "notify_discussionRenamed_alert": true,
    "notify_postLiked_alert": true, 
    "notify_discussionLocked_alert": true, 
    "notify_postMentioned_alert": true, 
    "notify_postMentioned_email": false, 
    "notify_userMentioned_alert": true, 
    "notify_userMentioned_email": false, 
    "notify_newPost_alert": true, 
    "notify_newPost_email": true,
    "followAfterReply": false,
    "discloseOnline": true,
    "indexProfile":true,
    "locale": "de"
}
