Hi Stefan Yakubov,

This feature seems to have a BUG, where it might be blocked according to the country the Plesk license was sold.

I mean, you would NOT be able to activate additional languages, lets say to german, as long you don't set a different default language. This should not be like this. Deactivation default, should be allowed, and then asked which language should replace it.

Note, that if you get a language you do not speak, it's pretty difficult to know what to do.

Please pass to developers.

Hello, Ehud Ziegelman

The article is dedicated to steps to switch locale, which were validated. In case you presume there is a bug in it's behavior, I'd recommend filing a form at https://talk.plesk.com/threads/please-follow-this-instruction-if-you-believe-that-found-a-bug.339636/
