Deactivate a language

Asked by carloxp 5 months ago Last activity 5 months ago

Hello everyone,

after updating the italian language in SPPB I noticed that the Italian language pack (it-IT) has been automatically activated in my setup.

In my case, I only work in English and I would like to keep the environment strictly in English, both for consistency and usability.

I have already checked the available settings, but I couldn't find a way to either:

deactivate the Italian language completely, or
uninstall/remove it from the system.

Could you please clarify:
whether it is possible to fully disable or uninstall a language pack,
and, if so, the correct procedure to do it safely?

Thank you in advance for your help.

In Joomla to remove translation of ANY extension you have to delete language files from two folders

/language/it-IT/
/administrator/language/it-IT/

for front-end and back-end. The same is/was in all Joomla versions.

Remember that without them, you have to make your own translation for some phrases that you may use on front-end.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this oversight. To better address the issue, could you kindly provide Joomla administrator access? This will enable me to thoroughly investigate the matter and provide you with a prompt resolution.

Best regards,

Hello Toufiqur

I enclosed requested credentials.

I renamed

/public_html/language/it-IT/it-IT.com_sppagebuilder.ini

/public_html/language/it-IT/it-IT.com_sppagebuilder.iniX

and now some strings are back to English, but other are still in Italian. It's a mix of Italian and English but I need all in English

Thank you

Carlo
