How to set a default language not equal to en_US

[alex wom, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

Help me please! I put server-ext.properties in webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes in my liferay 6.0.6 tomcat installation with the following code:
user.timezone=Europe/Rome
user.country=IT
user.language=it

I put the same in portal-ext.properties the same, but I have two languages it_IT and en_US.
I configured in control panel->portal setting the display language to it.
And when a guest goes in home page it is displayed in english!

Where/how can I correct this problem?

Hi Alex,
I tried but unable to get a default language other than English. After change the default language than English in address bar its showing like
http://localhost:8080/en/ . Means English is not the default language but content are not getting translated. I changed default language in
portal-ext.properties,system-ext.properties nad control panel. But no use.
Is this a bug in Liferay ??

Regards
Juhi

Hi Juhi
after a lot of attempts the working configuration is:
portal-ext.properties:
locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=0
locales=it_IT,en_US
user.country=IT
user.language=it
locale.default.request=true

and system-ext.properties
locales=it_IT,en_US
user.country=IT
user.language=it
locale.default.request=true

When I tried with locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=1 it didn't work. I don't know why/how it works but now it is the default language. Hope this helps.

Hello Alex
I have faced same problem with today. First, I suggest you to look a old bug:
http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LEP-6978?focusedCommentId=41577&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-41577

Then, as the article, you can find out a table named _user, and a colume named languageId.Ok, I think u have understand, in the database of liferay, there are each user's proper language.The portal-ext.properties we changed just set the common language of liferay, but when u log in, the page will display with user's proper language in the database. I think all u need is to Control Panel --> User(Just Below "Portal" in the left) --> Click your target User --> Display Settings(Below "Miscellaneous" in the right and bottom), and you can change Tag Language.And liferay will change the data of DB automatically.
But when you log in the liferay, you can't change le data of DB directelly, because there is conflic with the session shared of liferay.

This is all I research.

Best wishes
