Removing languages from the TCM v10 application
Out of the box, the beqom application is available in a number of standard languages, as listed below:
English
French
German
Italian
Spanish
Portuguese (Brazil)
Turkish
Chinese (Simplified)
Polish
Japanese
Russian
Chinese (Traditional)
When using the application, all of these languages will be available for selection in the (Undefined variable: CompoVariables_WA.UserSettings), under User > Settings > Culture in Web App and under User > My Account > Culture > Culture in Admin Portal.
It is however possible to hide one or several of these standard languages from the application and thus limit the possible selection for end-users using the procedure outlined below.
This is an note/information message.
The operation detailed herein simply described how to limit the number of items in the culture selection drop-down in all interfaces of the application. This operation does not remove the translation keys corresponding to the language in rps_localization. This means that the application will still receive the updates related to the relevant cultures(s).
To remove one or several languages from the beqom application, proceed as follows:
Retrieve the ID of the language(s) that you want to remove by running the following query on the application database:
select * from k_cultures
The column "ID" contains the IDs of all languages used in the application.
Delete the relevant languages from the two kernel tables that control languages using the following statements (where ID is the culture ID retrieved in step 1):
delete from k_cultures where id= {ID}
delete from k_cultures_parameters where id= {ID}
The language(s) are no longer available in the beqom application.
This is an note/information message.
beqom recommends that you keep a history of the records that you remove in case you need to add them again later. If required, the languages can be added again by entering the relevant parameters in k_cultures and k_cultures_parameters.
