Locale fallback

I am create a dnn website with locale fr-BE, but there is no language pack for this locale, so i change the fallback locale to fr-FR.

But for some modules there is no language pack available for fr-FR, the result is that no text was displayed for this modules.

The second fallback from fr-FR to en-US dont work. Some idea to make this second fallback working ?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
<language name="English (United States)" key="en-US" fallback="" />
<browserDetection enabled="false" />
<languageInUrl enabled="false" />
<language name="Français (Belgique)" key="fr-BE" fallback="fr-FR" />
<language name="Français (France)" key="fr-FR" fallback="en-US" />
</root>

Re: Locale fallback

AFAIK, Fallbacks are not chained, although I agree, that default language should always be used as ultimate fallback

Re: Locale fallback

Sebastien,

I have made a little online tool (an dnn module of course) to transform an language pack to an other locale.

I want to share this tool with the DotNetNuke community.
Everybody can use it for free at http://dotnetnuke.satrabel.be

Any feedback is welcome.

Here is a screenshot.
