Programmatically set Store View locale

Question

How do I programmatically set the locale information of a store view?

I don't know how to set this value, although I can get it using:

echo Mage::getStoreConfig('general/locale/code', $store_view->getId()) ;

Here it follows the code I use to programmatically create the store view:

$store_view = Mage::getModel('core/store');
$store_view->setCode($english_store_code)
                    ->setWebsiteId($storeGroup->getWebsiteId())
                    ->setGroupId($storeGroup->getId())
                    ->setName('English')
                    ->setIsActive(1)
                    ->save(); 

Answer 1

Try this

Mage::getModel('core/config')->saveConfig('general/locale/code', $value, $scope, $scopeId);

See function definition of saveConfig() at \app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Config.php

Answer 2

Please use below code to set locale value. and write second line for clear cache.

Mage::getConfig()->saveConfig('general/locale/code','en_US');
Mage::app()->getCacheInstance()->cleanType('config');

Please specify store ID if you have multi store.

Mage::getConfig()->saveConfig('general/locale/code','en_US','stores',$store_view->getId());

You can set Direct Language code

$locale = 'nl_NL';
Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->setMyLang($langCode);
$locale = Mage::getSingleton('core/session')->getMyLang();


Mage::getSingleton('core/translate')->setLocale($locale)->init('frontend', true);

$defaultStore = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();
Mage::app()->setCurrentStore($defaultStore);
Mage::app()->getLocale()->setLocale($locale);
Mage::app()->getTranslator()->init('frontend', true);

$defaultLocale = Mage::app()->getLocale()->getLocaleCode();

now Site translate in Your set Language.

you can pass $locale value dynamically on dropdown change event using js.

Try this one,

$config -> saveConfig('general/locale/code', $value , 'default', $storeId);
