| 1 | The two ##xwiki.language## parameters are shipped commented out in the "Internationalization" section of ##xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg##, where ##1## means true and ##0## means false. Both are read at startup, so a change takes effect only on the next restart. | ||

| 4 | |##xwiki.language.preferDefault##|##xwiki/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg##|##0##|When set to ##1##, makes the wiki's default language win over the language the browser asks for, for a reader who has not chosen one. | ||

| 10 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 11 | #-# By default, XWiki chooses the language specified by the client (browser) in the Accept-Language HTTP header. This | ||
| 12 | #-# allows to use the default language of the wiki when the user didn't manually choose a language. | ||
| 13 | # xwiki.language.preferDefault=0 | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | #-# Force only one of the supported languages to be accepted. Default to true. | ||
| 16 | # xwiki.language.forceSupported=1 | ||
