Change default language of alfresco's login page

[alfrescobeginne]

Hi all!
I have created my own language by coping my language packet in to \\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\messages
and register it in to web-client-config-custom.xml file:

<config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Languages">
      <languages>
    <language locale="vi_VN">Viet Nam</language>
      </languages>
   </config>

but i couldn't set it as default language.
How to change default language of alfresco?
Help me please!
Thanks!

Hi,

You can do it. Put the following sentence into the login page

<% Application.setLanguage(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),"xx_XX"); %>

Rather than making changes in individual JSPs, a better solution is to change the locale which Alfresco starts up in. This will ensure that the Guest home space, the Guest dashboard and the login screen are all displayed in your chosen language initially. See this post for details:
