Issue

  • Users that add their regional language to their DXP setup via portal-ext.properties file may see unexpected behavior with web content, such as clearing input from text fields of content when changing locale from one to another:
    • locales= en_US,ar_SA,hi_IN,ta_IN,as,gu,bn,kn,mr,ml,pa,te,or
      locales.enabled= en_US,ar_SA,hi_IN,ta_IN,as,gu,bn,kn,mr,ml,pa,te,or

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4

Resolution

  • The observed behavior can be observed if the locales are not defined correctly in the portal-ext.properties file. For example, in this case, the following way would be helpful in defining locales:
    • locales= en_US,ar_SA,hi_IN,ta_IN,as_IN,gu_IN,bn_IN,kn_IN,mr_IN,ml_IN,pa_IN,te_IN,or_IN
      locales.enabled= en_US,ar_SA,hi_IN,ta_IN,as_IN,gu_IN,bn_IN,kn_IN,mr_IN,ml_IN,pa_IN,te_IN,or_IN
