How do I get different lang on plain and plain_admin?

I've installed 3.3.0-beta2 using the setup wizard and chose norwegian as site language. But I want the admin interface to be in english, not norwegian.. how do I do that?

I tried to change the [RegionalSettings] in /settings/siteaccess/plain_admin from nor-NO to eng-GB (both instances). That resultet in english text on the menues, but the "main frame" just displays a Error / kernel (3) - Object is unavailable.. some setup pages displays nicely, like setup, but not the default admin page you get when you log in.. :(

any solution?

Hello!
You should read this: http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/how_to_setup_a_multilingual_site

And you should translate your objects to the other languages from the admin area to be able to view them.

And additionally search for translation and read especially the doc-pages on that. Since you are also using a beta-version, this could get quite buggy for you...believe me. Personally I would choose a stable version.

I am trying to read that page and other in the docs.. anyway.. looks like I actually got what I wanted:

In settings/siteaccess/plain_admin/site.ini.append:
[RegionalSettings]
Locale=eng-GB
ContentObjectLocale=nor-NO
TextTranslation=enabled

worked. Now /plain shows default page in norwegian (no actuall content yet) and /plain_admin shows up with english text.. perhaps a dirty/wrong way to do it.. i don't know.. it works.. for now..

The use of site.ini is correct. Locale changes the interface locale (language) while ContentObjectLocale changes the locale (language) of database content.

The "Object is not available" message is probably because you tried to view a translation that does not exist. See the warning in RegionalSettings in site.ini.
