5.3. Configuration

Languages are configured in olat3/webapp/WEB-INF/olat_config.xml. Add new languages in the Localization module and set the default and fallback language. You sould make your changes in the olat_config.xml.in rather than in the olat_config.xml file. You can then run ant config-all to generate your olat_config.xml file.

From this config files the system reads the default configuration. Once an administrator uses the admin GUI to set the language parameters, the config is written into the olatdata user space. This user space configuration overwrites the default values. The configuration can be found in the file olatdata/system/configuration/org.olat.core.util.i18n.I18nModule.properties. This file can be deleted to restore the configuration to the default settings.
