Language question

[Omar]

I am using a custom skin that has all the text in a language file

To make default accounts easier, I renamed the language file &english& so that I didn't manually have to go to modify account and change the language to the skin's custom language file.

Now I think that the english language file is updated when cpanel updates, so obviously my method above isn't going to work, and in fact messed up a few accounts.

My question is:

Is there any way to set the language file used by default to be something other than &english&

This is more of a problem for resellers as they can't select the language file.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm surprised nobody else seems to have this same dilema.

Please post if you can shed some light on this for me.

Well, I have. I named the &skin& english file to english_skin to avoid it to be overwritten. I then chose the language english_skin.

As someone else pointed out the command `replace´ is a good to use to change any cPanel config parameter for many users:

cd /var/cpanel/users
replace LANG=english LANG=english_skin *

Note that `replace´ is not part of native Unix (Linux, BSD...), but part of the mySQL package.

Hi

I have exactly the same problem. Is there no possibility to set a default language for the cpanel?

Thanks
Mike
