Hello MyBB Community,

I'm currently trying to set the default language of my (2nd) forum. What have I done till now?:

-Copied and edited the old db (without any issues). Changed the inc/config.php
-Changed the inc/settings.php
-Changed inc/class_language.php

What is (not) my current problem?:

-My forum is working without any troubles.
-My admin cp tells me after each test configuration (of whatever) "Language english (/your-server-dir/the-forum-link/inc/languages/english) is not installed.

Everytime when this problem occurs I replace the inc/settings.php again and the problem is "solved" but if I try to change the settings again the problems occurs again . Btw. I also checked the module "index.php?module=--->config-settings<---" which loads with the index.php. There isn't anything what I have to change...I guess (?).

Where's problem? Can anyone give me advice (or maybe the solution)?

Sincerely Sauron.

-update-

I also edited the global.php. There was a entry $mybb->settings['bblanguage'] = 'english'; and I changed it to my language.

You shouldn't edit the "inc/settings.php" file because it will be changed each time you change a setting in the ACP.

Also there is absolutely no need to change any file. You just need to make sure both global settings and user preferences are set correctly.

I deleted the inc/languages/english and setted a new path. I don't want that people must select the language.
I don't like that little button which can change your language. If the user connects then the matching language should be setted without the button.

ikr but I couldn't change it when I deleted the english file. and why should MyBB work different? It still loads all stuff. Only the admcp after editing it via the gui (admcp -> settings) isn't working.
