I have a multilingual website (spanish and english) using Joomla 2.5.7. I want to force the default languague to spanish regardless of the default browser languague on the visitor's computer.
I already checked Extensions -> Language Manager and marke Spanish the default. But it keeps showing in english even after I clear the browser cache.
I also checked Extensions -> Language Manager Content tab and put spanish first without luck.
What I'm missing?
Thanks!
Ok, the solution was:
Extensions -> Plug In Manager then search for System - Language Filter and under Basic Options change Language Selection for new Visitors accordingly
Hope this helps someone else

I have a webpage with 3 languages.
The multi languages status shows all is fine.
When I am logged into the front end as superuser the language switcher works like a charm.
But when I log off and visit the page as public, the language switcher works only in a menue where I have a JSN UniForm for all languages if I unpublish it, the language switcher does not work either.
But I cannot see a difference in the settings.
I can access the correct language by changing the url to the specific language and the correct pages are displayed.
We are using Joomla 3.6.4, and the template JSN Air Pro.
Update:
I realized I did not describe the problem correctly:
When I am on the English page the language switcher is shown, but it does not show the other languages. So ti is not possible to change the language via the language switcher.
All three languages are installed and published.
Do you have any suggestions what setting I need to change?
Go to your module (Language Switcher) set Access -> public, now you can see module in front end as a public.
Firefox has come to believe that my default spell check language should be Spanish. My global preferences have English selected:
Preferences->Content->Languages->English [en]
and on a page-by-page basis I'm able to reset the spell checker language via:
Right click->Languages->English (United States)
However, for newly opened pages or new sessions the default spell check language returns to Spanish. I found a workaround here:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/975459#answer-494574
Which suggested that installing a new dictionary would change the default. However, this issue has bugged me for so long that I would like to know if there is a more "correct" way to change the default spell check language.
If you only use system wide spell checking dictionaries (for example, the hunspell package provided by your Linux distribution) Firefox seems not be able to remember the default configuration (is this a bug?). You can fix this issue by having at least one dictionary installed as a Firefox plugin.
Afaik, there is no UI for this. Instead you have to use about:config and set dictionary.spellchecker.
Also, Content > Languages has no bearing on spell checking. This effects what content you're given on multilingual websites.
So my problem regarding MAGENTO languages and view stores.
I have a website with one language Spanish. I got an extention installed for Vendors which can come and add products and so. My issue is, that I want my vendors portal to be in English and the vendor portal is take the language from the default store in my system which is Spanish.
I added another store ENGLISH one, but when I change my default store to the english on I get my main website in English.
Im strugeling with it, I dont know how do fix that issue. I was thinking maybe I can somehow change the language in the vendors portal specificly from code? Or maybe you got other solution.
my extention is Udropship for refrences.
You can try to set English as default language and Spanish as language for your default website/storeview. Go to System/Configuration. Look into the top left corner, thre is select where you can switch config scope. If you set this so then admin panel will be displayed in English whilst frontend will be still displayed in Spanish.
I'm trying to make the language switcher to work, I have already made all menus for each language I was gonna use, but when I enable this module, It just shows me the name of the module(when I put it to show), not the flags. What should i do?
I lost a full day of my life with this topic.
The issue was that language tag was badly setup in System -> Language Manager -> Content
For example for French I had fr when it should have been fr-FR
After that I had to rebuild/redo all the Language assignments for French on Pages, categories, menus, template.
The flag finally showed up...
It's an old question but, telling from the comments, a recurring problem. Seems like there can be multiple root causes. One thing to check is also that you have marked the default menu item for each language. If not, the corresponding language does not show in the language switcher.
Found that You need to set a default homepage that can be in hidden menu (and redirect from later) to Language "All"
But then also go to each menu and make the page 1 language and also Homepage.
So for me I have now 3 language homepages menu items. All, En, De
How did I discover this:
I needed to turn on a module in the Admin:
Language Status Administrator Module
This makes a small button bottom left in the Admin, and modal points out 3 different topic per language installed, told me I had not any homepages, and so would get no flags. (Thanks to Per on Joomla forum answer from 2016)
Happy fixing.
you need to set up the languages in the Language Manager? under extensions..
and make sure you published the "System - Language Filter" plugin.
Plugins -> System - Language Filter -> Automatic Language Change -> No
This will prevent automatic language changin which is often reason for this
I'm setting up a multi-language site in Joomla 2.5. Is it possible to show the default page with 'language all'?
open example.com/ ------ choose language en/zh
if 'en'
go to example.com/en/
else if 'zh'
go to example.com/zh/
my problem is ,when i open 'example.com/' it always jump to 'example.com/en/' or 'example.com/zh/' directly.
When multi-language packs are installed, Joomla will redirect to the default one. If you would like more control over your languages and a language selector for the users, then I would recommend installing JoomFish.
I haven't used JoomFish in a fairly long time but there might be a parameter to disable the language code on the end of the url upon entering the site, if not htaccess configuration might be needed.
