Programmatically changing default culture for a site

Ozgur Ozguven asked on July 22, 2015 18:22

I can't find/see how I can programmatically change a site's default content culture. In Admin UI, there is a "Default content culture" field but I need to do this programmatically via the API. Is this possible?

Many thanks

Ozgur

Hi Ozgur, this might look a bit confusing as it is not part of the site object. However there is a simple way. You just need to update settings value. Please see code below how to achieve this >

var siteInfo = new SiteInfoIdentifier(1);
var setting = SettingsKeyInfoProvider.GetSettingsKeyInfo("CMSDefaultCultureCode", siteInfo);
setting.KeyValue = "en-US";
setting.Update();

Thanks Petr. Due to settings inheritance I actually ended up doing an insert as below:

var siteInfo = new SiteInfoIdentifier(1); var setting = SettingsKeyInfoProvider.GetSettingsKeyInfo("CMSDefaultCultureCode", siteInfo); setting.KeyValue = "en-US"; setting.Insert();
