Issue

 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4 QR 2024.Q4.1

 

Resolution

  • Currently, there is work being done on LPD-22885 (https://liferay.atlassian.net/browse/LPD-22885) to implement support for the current ISO 639 language codes, but it has not yet been implemented
  • As a workaround, the following JVM property can be set in the JVM properties: java.locale.useOldISOCodes=true
  • Please note that the old codes would need to be reverted (iw_IL and in_ID) as this workaround makes use of the older standard
