    Hi

    I am trying to add new local in liferay 6.2 ie locales like es_US en_NL as these locales are not in liferay's available locale list for that I followed following steps .
    - added the locale list in liferay portal-ext.properties file in locales property ie
    locales=en_NL,es_US
    -Then restarted the server..
    - the added locales are now showing in available locale list ..ie from controlpanel->display settings
    -Then i moved the available locales to current locale list using liferays control panel.
    -but when i clicked on save button I am getting the current locale is not valid.

    Am I missing something here..How can I configure these locales ie locales ie not available in available locale list.

    Thanks

      Hello

      You need to add custom locale to web.xml in Liferay webapps (ROOT)

      <servlet-mapping>
      <servlet-name>I18n Servlet</servlet-name>
      <url-pattern>/en_NL/*</url-pattern>
      </servlet-mapping>

      Hi Zsigmond,

      I am getting the following messages after clicking on save button

      "Your request failed to complete."

      "Please enter a valid locale."

      There is no logs on console.

      Sachin,

      Looks like issue is with number of Languages you are selecting from Display Settings. As after adding only 2 locales(en_NL,es_US) from portal-ext.properties, when you go to Control Panel -> Display Settings, it's displaying around 10+ languages in Current. So after adding English(Netherlands) to current and save it's trying to validate all the languages including "English(Netherlands)" with the locales= values provided in portal-ext.properties.

      And when it tries to validate language other than the one you've provided in portal-ext.properties it will give error.
      What you can do here is,
      - First remove all the entries from Current back to Available
      - Add only "English(Netherlands)" to Current one
      - Save

      It should resolve your issue.

      Thanks,
