It looks like on new Plesk (> 18.0.46) installations only one language is installed and there are no other languages available to switch to. I know that additional languages require language packs. But I only want to change the current language. On my new installations it doesnt seem possible to change the default language to another one, because there are no other languages installed.
How do you install other languages so you can switch the default language?
Hello, @Kaspar vd
Normally, new Plesk installations still have basic sets of languages available:
# plesk db "select * from locales"
