Uninstall dutch SPPB language

Asked by Jeroen 6 months ago Last activity 6 months ago

Hi,

At [Components] > [SP Page Builder Pro] > [Settings] > [Languages] it is possible to install the 'Dutch (nl-NL)' or any other langeuage. But the dutch translation is not so good. So I want to go back to the English translation for SPPB.

It's not possible to uninstall the SPPB language files in the SPPB backend or Joomla itself.
You can remove the SPPB language files via FTP, but in SPPB, under [Languages], 'Dutch (nl-NL)' remains 'Installed'.
Is there a way to fix this and use only the English translation for SPPB?

Thanks,
Jeroen

Hoi Jeroen,

you cannot uninstall, but you can remove it.

use FTP or File Manager and from /administrator/language/nl-NL delete file: nl-NL.com_sppagebuilder.ini

without that file, Joomla will use ENGLISH language file for SPPB editor. About status "installed" ignore it.

Keep /language/nl-NL/nl-NL.com_sppagebuilder.ini - a small file used only for front-end view, forms fields etc.

Hi Paul,

From /administrator/language/nl-NL I already deleted the files:
nl-NL.com_sppagebuilder.ini
nl-NL.com_sppagebuilder.sys.ini
nl-NL.mod_sppagebuilder_admin_menu.ini
nl-NL.mod_sppagebuilder_admin_menu.sys.ini
nl-NL.mod_sppagebuilder_icons.ini
nl-NL.mod_sppagebuilder_icons.sys.ini

So, in the SPPB backend, it's back in English.
But it's a bit buggy and unclear later on, when the SPPB backend shows that the Dutch language is installed in SPPB.

It's becuase switcher status (install/installed) is inside database , and you deleted only files, as I said before , ignore it.

And enjoy ENGLISH.
