Move custom language to default one (ES_XX to es)

Installation
1

What’s the proper way to do it? From mysql, using queries within Discourse, maybe with some script?

It seems that using a plugin to create custom language causes some issues in our instance.

Executing the following in a rails console should work:

old_locale = "es_XX"
new_locale = "es"

DB.exec <<~SQL
  UPDATE users
  SET locale = '#{new_locale}'
  WHERE locale = '#{old_locale}'
SQL

DB.exec <<~SQL
  UPDATE site_settings
  SET value = '#{new_locale}'
  WHERE name = 'default_locale' AND value = '#{old_locale}'
SQL

DB.exec <<~SQL
  UPDATE translation_overrides
  SET locale = '#{new_locale}'
  WHERE locale = '#{old_locale}'
SQL

DB.exec <<~SQL
  UPDATE theme_translation_overrides
  SET locale = '#{new_locale}'
  WHERE locale = '#{old_locale}'
SQL

def fix_search_data(model)
  key = "#{model}_id"
  table = "#{model}_search_data"

  puts "Migrating #{table} to new_locale locale."

  sql = <<~SQL
    UPDATE #{table}
        SET locale = '#{new_locale}'
      WHERE #{key} IN (
            SELECT #{key}
              FROM #{table}
              WHERE locale = '#{old_locale}'
              LIMIT 100000
          )
  SQL

  loop do
    count = DB.exec(sql)
    break if count == 0
    puts "Migrated #{count} rows of #{table} to new locale."
  end
end
  
%w[category tag topic user].each { |model| fix_search_data(model) }

Thanks! What’s the most effective method to deal with overrided strings in locale?

Code seems to work but not with overrided in destination ‘default’ locale.

Running the following in the rails console should help:

I18n.reload!
ExtraLocalesController.clear_cache!
MessageBus.publish("/i18n-flush", refresh: true)

If it doesn’t, restarting the server should definitely work.

Thanks, it seems to be related to something in my instance but maybe I didn’t express myself well in my previous message :slight_smile:

I copy the error message, just in case:

PG::UniqueViolation: ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint "index_translation_overrides_on_locale_and_translation_key"
DETAIL:  Key (locale, translation_key)=(es, js.docs.categories) already exists.
