Go on, have a guess
Please don't just post "me too" - it doesn help resolve a problem. If you believe that you've found a reproducable bug then log it in bugzilla if it is not there already and/or log a ticket with cPanel through your cPanel license provider.

A little script for change the language within your created accounts.

Using your favourite text editor (vi, pico, etc), copy the lines between "####", paste it, save it and run it.

####

#!/bin/sh

# This script will replace the language defined within each /home/$user/.lang

if [ ! $1 ] || [ ! $2 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 <old_lang> <new_lang>"
exit 0
fi

# Defined language.
OLD_LANG=$1

# New language to be set.
NEW_LANG=$2

for dirs in /home/*; do
if [ -f $dirs/.lang ]; then
grep -q $OLD_LANG$ $dirs/.lang
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo $NEW_LANG > $dirs/.lang
fi
fi
done

####

You can write script that edits /var/cpanel/users/* and replaces LANGUAGE=(.*) to any any language. Don't forget to run /scripts/updateuserdomains after it.

How can do this:

At ssh run this command:

1) First run this command:
replace LANG=english LANG=portuguese -- /var/cpanel/users/*

2) Run this now
/scripts/updateuserdomains

You Can change at this code LANG=portuguse to Lang=spanish etc..

After this you will change all english accounts to your language.

EASY.

Cpanel guys haven't yet figure out that this is MUST HAVE TOOL! for everyone using Cpanel and having business in other languages, I don't think that it will be so difficult for Cpanel to make a patch for it, I've been hearing about 8 months now about adding that functionality and nothing yet, I'll wait one more month or I'll take my business some place else, I'm tired of excuses on this issue, YES! THIS IS A BIG ISSUE!

Hope it will get resolve soon, it doesn't make sense having cpanel 11 and still no tool for making the default language the way that customers need.
