When I try to change the website’s default language (under Website Settings > Languages) from de-DE to en-US, I get the error pop-up “Settings could not be saved. Try again later” (or similar; translated from German).
I don’t have any localized content on the site, and all users use the website’s default language. My DNN version is 9.1.1.
What am I doing wrong?
Hi Tycho,
thanks for your response! I didn’t activate content localization explicitly. I created the site with the website assistant – don’t know what the assistant does by default. Anyway, in the database table “PortalSettings” there is a setting “ContentLocalizationEnabled”, which is set to False for my portal.
I tried to change the portal’s default language in the database table “Portals”, but without success. Both values “en-US” and “” (empty string) caused a runtime exception.
Anyway, I worked around my current problem by setting the admin’s language to the desired value. I. e. I won’t have to investigate further.
For others who run into this issue, I found the blog article “Changing the DNN default language” (https://www.40fingers.net...N-default-language), which may help to understand the DNN localization (seems to be not that simple...).

The basics are not that difficult, but the fexibility makes that the edit interface is not simple, which is also waht the blog post is about. The main "issue" is that some modules can either be translatabel or not meaning that DNN needs to handle 2 scenario's: having the same module on the corresponding EN-DE-NL pages (where that module show the correct language data), or have a separate instance of a (not translatabel ) module on each page.
