SugarCRM Language Translation Files

Is there a way to limit SugarCRM to just one language (us_en)? Right now everything we do generates 40+ language files which we'll never use. It makes finding things in the folders very difficult.

After removing all the languages except en_us my /sugarcrm/config_override.php contains the following:

<?php
/***CONFIGURATOR***/
$sugar_config['disabled_languages'] = 'bg_BG,cs_CZ,da_DK,de_DE,el_EL,es_ES,fr_FR,he_IL,
hu_HU,hr_HR,it_it,lt_LT,ja_JP,ko_KR,lv_LV,nb_NO,nl_NL,pl_PL,pt_PT,ro_RO,ru_RU,sv_SE,
th_TH,tr_TR,zh_TW,zh_CN,pt_BR,ca_ES,en_UK,sr_RS,sk_SK,sq_AL,et_EE,es_LA,fi_FI,ar_SA,uk_UA';
/***CONFIGURATOR***/

I then created test with a new package, named Dan, which has one module named Pets. When I look in version control I still have a file for each available language in the sugarcrm/custom/modulebuilder/packages/Dan/modules/Pets/languages

It seems you can accomplish that by modifying the language array in the sugar config.

  1. Make sure to make a backup of your config.php, so that you have the original language array if you need it back. This is important even although our change will be in another file, because Sugar might recreate config.php automagically, using the resulting array, losing the original one.

  2. In your config_override.php add this line:

$sugar_config['languages'] = array('en_us' => 'English (US)');

Be aware that above line will make 'en_us' the only available language on that instance and Studio/etc. should now only create en_us files. If that is not the solution you're looking for - let me know please.

EDIT:

Above steps only seems to disable file creation spam for Dropdown Editor.

If you also want to make Module Builder not create any non-en_us language files, I found this - quite invasive - method of accomplishing just that:

  1. Create a Backup of the instance, then remove all *.lang.php files from the directories of include/ and modules/, except for en_us.* files. On Linux you can do this with find include modules -name '*.lang.php' -not -name 'en_us.*' -print -delete
  2. Delete the contents of the cache/ folder
  3. In Sugar run Administration -> Repair -> Quick Repair and Rebuild

This made my Module Builder only create en_us language files.

Note: If anybody should ever consider doing this for any other language than en_us, make sure to not only keep your language of choice, but also keep the en_us files additional to that! Those files are expected to exist in Sugar, as they are e.g. used for fallbacks of missing strings in any other language. Deleting the en_us files may lead to unexpected side-effects!
