I found a couple of points to fix/discuss doing internal QA.

1. I created a Custom locale with uu-dd as the Locale ID, the problem I see is we are not parsing correctly the language code, and it is just present under the Language column and not broken down as Language code: uu and Country code: dd, that could also be be reflected in the DB where the value uu-dd is stored in the language code column.

2. When attempt to change the default language we got a modal with a message saying:

   Setting this language as the default will alter the language of all site content and communications.

   Be mindful of any unintended consequences.

   

   Not sure if changing the default language changes the "communications", we are not changing the Admin language to affect that.

3. When trying to delete a language with related content, the system fails saying you cannot delete a language with related content, that's perfect, the issue is, that for some reason, after that process, the portlet is in a weird state where subsequent delete operations just won't work.

@jgambarios Humberto and I reviewed your feedback for #1 and #2.

For #1, any locale which uses a known language and country should use the Standard Locale. And for Custom Locale, we need to treat the whole string as a block (rather than splitting it into language and country) because we need to be able to support some legacy locales that may be up to 5 characters without a dash in them.

For #2, I sent him some new text for the modal that I think is clearer.

QA Note:

1. Go to Settings - Roles & Tools, System and add the Locales Toot in the menu.
2. Go to http://localhost:8080/dotAdmin/#/locales

We should defined a by default sorting as the same as other protlets within the app

After selecting a sorting for the elements and going to another portlet and back, the previously selected sorting gets lost

Scrolling is not working when sufficient elements are added to the feature. Should we have pagination?
