Concise description:
  • Remove the option to choose "My language:" in the "Control Panel" under "Board preferences."

Specifics/Details:
  • The only language available under it is "British English."

How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
  • If you do not allow people to change their language, there shouldn't be an option to do so. I actually thought I had finally found a way to view the site in my native tongue.

This is something automatic in all forums, even that allows you only one language still is there (well some forums i have seen 2 or 3 but 2 of them were British english & american english)

And also it doesn't matter if is there, just take yourself as example you just realized it was there after two months of being here.... that means is not something easily visible, so there's no need to take it.


In fact there could be your language in sometime you never know ;)

You can actually change your language assuming the proper language packs have been installed, and the style the board is using is complete for all languages. However this would take a lot of web development time for not much of a reward.

If lack wishes to remove the dropdown from the UCP

EDIT /styles/<stylename>/template/ucp_prefs_personal.html

REMOVE
Code: Select all
<dl>
    <dt><label for="lang">{L_BOARD_LANGUAGE}:</label></dt>
    <dd><select name="lang" id="lang">{S_LANG_OPTIONS}</select></dd>
</dl>
