Curiosity killed the WebApp

I added Swedish as a back-end language (in settings) , thinking that i could play with translation. This totally bombed the webapplication. It feels a bit harsh to me as an "end user" as there is no way to fix it, because the backend doesn't work anymore.

Best Regards, Magnus

Ps. This isn't a showstopper for me, I will keep using the English back-end. I was just curious.

Hi Sungamrammah,

I'm sorry to hear about the experience you've had with using multilingual mode, can you, please, share with us some more details on the exact steps you have taken to reproduce this issue, and the current behavior that your site is experiencing (a screenshot of the settings and the results would be useful as well). I have tried both scenarios of adding Swedish botha s directories and as separate domains and the site worked fine in both cases, could it be that there's some additional steps that you have taken? In the meantime to revert the changes you can go to your Sitefinity project's folder and navigate to App_Data/Sitefinity/Configuration/ResourcesConfig.config file and remove the localization settings related to the second language. Save the changes and restart the application, and this should revert the changes you have made. If the problems persist, please do not hesitate to get back to me, I'll be glad to assist you further.

All the best,

I think this might be related to my other post and I have marked them both as solved Translations Syncked etc...

I have installed the webApp three times now, with different variations, and I can't replicate my own problem. I was playing around with the system, trying to abuse it in every way I could (I'm just doing trials and trying to learn the inns, outs and limits), perhaps I am overlooking something else i did.

Slightly embarrassing is also that I didn't save the faulty project for inspection, but as I can't replicate it, well.. I probably did something stupid, let's leave it at that :)
