Actually this is not a really a bug, but i'm not sure it's clear from the doc neither (so that may need to be emphasized), finally the error handling should be better. The issue, is that by setting up English in your browser, it will try to get the english content for the file (your preferred locale) since it cannot get it (it doesn't exist) it falls back to your default locale set at the CMS level which is english by default. So if you plan to write all the content in German, you should gp edit portal-cms.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml and change: | <attribute name="DefaultLocale">en</attribute> | to | <attribute name="DefaultLocale">de</attribute> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4088759#...
