Issue

  • When creating web content using POST, PUT, or PATCH API requests, an Error 406 is returned if no locales match the accepted languages:
{ "status": "NOT_ACCEPTABLE", "title": "No locales match the accepted languages: xx-XX" }

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4+

Resolution

  • This behavior for POST, PUT, and PATCH is expected when the Accept-Language header does not match any of the languages configured in Liferay.

    To resolve this issue, you can either:

    • Add the desired language to the 'Current' configuration.

    • Set the Accept-Language header to one of the languages already configured:
      -H "Accept-Language: xx-XX"
