Disable certain languages

[jeebee123]

Hi,

Is it possible to disable cartain languages in WHMCS? I just wan't to show a few language options to my clients. Where can I select which languages they can choose?

Nevermind... just delete the language files. Logic haha

that would work for now (and used to be the way to do this), but next time you run a WHMCS update, you will find that WHMCS will restore all those language files that you've just deleted - so if you're going down this road, you're going to have to remember to delete them again after every update.

alternatively, there was a hook I posted almost 4 years ago that allowed you to specify the languages to include in the header dropdown and won't necessarily be affected by a WHMCS update.

<?php

# Specify Valid Languages for Language Chooser Hook
# Written by brian! 

function locales_hook($vars) {
	$mylocal = $vars['locales'];
	$validlanguages = array("english","french","dutch");
	foreach ($mylocal as $key => $value) {
		if (!in_array($value["language"],$validlanguages)) {
			unset($mylocal[$key]);
		}
	}
	return array("locales" => $mylocal);
}
add_hook("ClientAreaPage", 1, "locales_hook");

a user could still change their language via the URL, but there would be other solutions if you needed to ensure that they couldn't do that - though frankly, they'd only know how if they knew WHMCS.
