David,

If you are running the DNN site yourself or have admin authority on the box you can create your own cultureinfo & culture classes and register them on the server.  Then you can just copy & rename a language pack to your newly created culture (and edit as needed)

Here are some links,

Thanks Robert

That was what I was thinking so will take a look.

 

Sebastian - Your suggestion sounds like the easy solution I am needing!  I've been looking and really have no idea how to just add a language and use the default resource files, only installing language packs (DNN 4.9.5). Where do I do this?

Thanks


David

David,

the solution suggested by Robert requires modification of the server and you are not guaranteed, the custom locale will be matched during browser detection.

if you simply "add new language" (instead of installing a language pack)" with fallback en-US, no resource files will be created, just the new language will be selectable and use fallback resource files.

Thanks Sebastian!

I do apologise though... I kept looking at Admin > Languages not Host > Languages.  For some reason I thought those things work the same depending on the user but not the case.  All sorted and cheers for the help!

David,

I know about the usability problem in DNN 4, that's why we consolidated it in Admin menu with Scope control (Portal - Host - System) in DNN 5.1 (Although the rest of the module in DNN 5 urgently requires UI improvements.
