Is there a configurable way to disable certain language options?

[Srikanth Buddep]

Hi,

Is there any configurable way to disable the language options shown in the language picker so that I can disable them for some time and then can enable them back?

Currently our language picker shows "English, German, French, Italian, Chinese" but we only want to show only "English" right now and at later point of time we wanted to enable others without disabling the respective language plugin.

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
Srikanth

There would be a UI Macro for the language picker, you need to modify it there.

Thanks Anurag for your reply, there is this UI Macro "ui_language_select" where we can modify the selection, but we don't want to touch the out of the box code and hence searching for any other way.

Further to what Anurag mentioned above, the following threads could be useful to you.

The languages are picked from language field choice list of user table.

If you make choices as inactive= true and those languages will not be shown on language picker upon your next login onwards.
