De.scription and Message

Hey,

how can I switch all users to a newly installed language?
Since yesterday english was the only language installed and all the users see the board in english but how can I make all of them see it in the other newly installed language?

With the kindest regards, Karl

I think you can do this:

Go into your ACP.
Select General managment, and then Configuration+
In the right frame select Profile Options => Profile Settings

There you can set the Forum Language to your newly installed Language.
For the time being set "Override user choices" to Yes. After awhile you can set it back to No, so users who don't want to use your new language can set it back to English.

DoesnÂÂ ´t work.
For most users the board is still in english.

As far as I know, it should work.

This will set the default language to you new language, and the "Overide Users Choice" should overide all other languages a user can choose of...

Maybe you also have to set the default language in the configuration to your new language.
