Hi,
I have two languages in my portal: English and Hebrew.
I defined in the portal settings the default language to be hebrew.
However, when non logged in users visit the site - the active language is English.
Where can i define that hebrew will be the default language for all users?

Thanks.

You cannot do that unless you only have one language on the portal. DNN will read the language settings on the browser and use the list to select the language that best suits the user preferences.

Thanks for your answer.
Just to be sure:
1. If the user will set (in his preferences) Hebrew as the default language,
DNN will not read the browser settings?

2. Can i disable English and leave one language?

While DNN reading the browser preference is useful, some of my clients want the site to *always* open first in a given language.

The only workaround I found was to do the following:

Step 1:
Place an .asp (or .aspx page) in the root folder that redirects to http://www.yoursite.com/Home/tabID/36/fr-CA/Default.aspx. As you can see, it is possible to define the locale in your home page link.

ASP example:
<%
response.redirect("http://www.yoursite.com/Home/tabID/36/fr-CA/Default.aspx")
%>

Step 2:
If the file is called index.asp, go to the IIS preferences for the site and change the default document order so that index.asp gets checked first (add it if it's not there, and move it above default.aspx)

And voilà! when people access www.yoursite.com, they will get redirected to the home page in the language you specify in the redirect.

Hope this helps someone...

It helped me and is probably useful to most people without english as their native language. I have never touched my browser language(well, I had to test it), nor do I expect others to do it.

Thank you odumetz.
