I have Magento 1.7.0.2 German website. How can i change the admin panel to be English by default? (i know that i can select the language from the drop down list, however i want it to be set to English by default)
In top menu
system > config > (general) general > locale options > locale > english (US)
be sure to set that at the "default config" scope, and log out and then in to be taken into account
Hi! Thank you too much .I have been facing this problem since yesterday!
Thanks, this solution works, but that option changed some labels in the frontend too... Is that normal?
Yes, this solution also affects the front-end. See my answer for an extension that allows to set a default language per admin account.
@AlirezaFallah yes, obviously, but you can change frontend's locale at store or store view level
