Re: Modify locales.xml to enable en-GB 

I understand what you mean. Please don't consider I'm not taking your issue seriously. What I'm trying to do is explain why it works that way, which maybe is not correct.

The resource fallback explanation you pointed to is ok, but it is not used if a locale is disabled. No matter it is the bottom of the stack, if it is disable and there's another option, the other option will be used. And that this moment I'm not sure changing this behaviour will introduce more trouble than benefit.

Re: Modify locales.xml to enable en-GB 
OK - your're right I can set my portal language to en-GB to ensure my en-GB users don't see Spanish.

But I am in Spain and the primary language for my portal is Castellano es-ES.

I'm not talking about outlandish scenarios here.  OK, if I want to support en-GB (which I do for dates, currency etc) I can, however unintuative it is, set my portal language to en-GB so that my British users pickup the en-GB locale and the en-US language pack (MM/DD/YY is not obvious this side of pond).

Now I'll make a wild guess that you have your browser set as Catalan, ca.  Although I want my portal in Spanish and you probably, politics aside would prefer to see it in Castellano rather than English.  Given the current setup I cannot deliver that without a 'core mod' of deleting the base language in my locales.xml.

I'm going to quote another bit of the documentation just to show how anal I am:-

The System Locale, Default Portal Locale, and the User Selected Locale support the use
of a Fallback Locale.

Now I'm sure that is open to interpretation, but I understand it that I can specify a 'Fallback Locale' for each of the scenarios above.  If I look at the locales.xml - it's already there:-

(root)
  (language name="Español (España)" key="es-ES" fallback="en-US" /)
  (language name="English (United Kingdom)" key="en-GB" fallback="en-US" /)
(/root)

The only place it seems to be missing is in the code.

Come on, the internet's a tough enough place for non US speakers and sites.
I think that the core currently doesn't work as it should and if dynamic translation is really in the pipeline then it might good idea to set a few principals here before we take the plunge.

Re: Modify locales.xml to enable en-GB 

Solved. I just needed to disable the en-US language pack at the portal level. No need to mess with locales.xml:-)
