Thread: Language Pack

Does anybody know where I can get the en-GB language pack from?

If you have en-US language pack(strings.en-US.xls), I suggest you copy and rename it to (strings.en-GB.xls). Upload it on a en-GB locale settings.

You now have a en-GB locale.

OK- so what exactly does a language pack do then if I can just rename the en-US one to en-GB? Do I need to go through it and Anglicize it for the UK ?

It was just for english locale. Since US and UK uses english then you can just have the same string resource for en-US and en-UK locales. You can then anglicize certain strings for en-UK that suits your needs.

It would be a different setting when it comes to other non-enlglish locale. You will then need language pack for that.

Ok, I'm following the logic of that and have uploaded the strings.en-GB to the /web/stringresources directory.

My Admin area is showing the following..
Primary Store Locale Setting: en-US
SQL Locale Setting: en-GB
Customer Locale Setting: en-US
Primary Store Currency: GBP

Do I need to modify the web.config file, it currently reads:

<add key="DBSQLServerLocaleSetting" value="en-GB"/>

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-US" uiCulture="en-GB"/>

Also should I add en-GB to the Locale Settings as currently I only have en-US ?

Thanks for your help..

In order to have a full en-GB admin and store, you need to setup the following:

1. Update the currency and publish the British Pound.

2. Add en-GB locale settings with its default currency set to GBP.

3. Upload a string resource for the en-GB locale.

4. Run config wizard, on the store currency field set it to GBP and the Store Currency Numeric Code to 826 for United Kingdom.

5. Modify the web.config, set en-GB to en-US values for the lines shown below.

Code:

.................................................................................

  <add key="DBSQLServerLocaleSetting" value="en-GB" />

.................................................................................
 
 <globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" culture="en-GB" uiCulture="en-GB"/>

The next time you visit your admin homepage you will see this values:

Primary Store Locale Setting: en-GB
SQL Locale Setting: en-GB
Customer Locale Setting: en-GB
Primary Store Currency: GBP

Good luck.
