How to set the back office in English only while enabling German at front office?

[dooofox]

Hi guys,

 

There is a problem that confuses me. - I need my front office in German, while back office in English only, (I know English only, but my customers are German).

 

If I disable English, then the back office will show up German automatically. This makes me have to enable English so I can operate the back office. 

 

Can anybody show me how to do it in details? 

 

Thank you so much.

actually (just tested on 1.5.6.1 and I know this is the same in 1.4) it is no problem to 'disable' English in the back office  but still use in the back office (see My Preferences).

Hi, thank you for your reply. But it still does not work.

 

After I set the language as English on  My Preferences, I can disable English on the "languages" setting but cannot delete it as it shows up "You cannot delete the language currently in use. Please select a different language.". Also, I tested adding a product, it still requires me to fill with all the English version information , so does adding a CMS page. However, I don't need English at all when adding categories, products or other pages - I just need German when adding something, as I don't need English at front office.

 

Is it clear what I need?

 

Thanks again.

never delete a language...else you will be sorry...

 

if a language is disabled in back office (still usable by back office) it (should not) display as an option on the front office.  If it does then there is an issue with your front office language selector module.
