I have been developing for some time in en-gb
language code. Now arriving closer to the release date I was going to switch the default language to en-us
, but whatever I do the initial request.LANGUAGE_CODE
is set to en-gb
even for unregistered users.
FYI, I would actually like to keep the time_zone to London and simply change the default language to American English. For now I have changed both just to get it working, but still no joy.
#TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/London'
TIME_ZONE = 'US/Eastern'
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'
#LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-gb'
ugettext = lambda s: s
LANGUAGES = (
('en', ugettext('American English')),
('en-gb', ugettext('British English'))
)
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True
What could I be missing? Thanks
LANGUAGE_CODE
is only the default when Django can't find what language to use. You probably already have en-gb
in your session or a cookie which Django picks up on.
