We’ve recently had a developer look at this but he came across some problems which he couldn’t overcome. In his own words -

 

"

The problem

 

Previous developers have re-purposed Craft's in-built "Locale" functionality. Where you would normally expect to see a Locale such as "British English" or "Spanish", four new Locales have been created in Craft's core - "Events", "Weddings", "Introduction" and "Corporate Events". This isn't how Craft is designed to be used. Result: You can't update Craft anymore without first backing up and replacing the /craft/app/framework/i18n/data/ folder. You are _never_ meant to edit anything inside /craft/app. as the whole folder gets replaced when you update Craft.

 

 

Over the last couple of days our developer has tried:

 

 

Deleting the existing Locales

Result: Errors throughout the site. The site's template code heavily utilises setting and using variables based on the custom locales that have been created.

 

Creating a British English Locale, then deleting the other Locales and transferring their content to British English

Results: Craft tries to re-save all entries in the new Locale, then fails at re-saving the SuperTable fields, then deletes the entries, so there's no content left in the siteCreating a British English Locale, then deleting the other Locales entirely

Results: All content gets deleted. You'd have to recreate all the pages and artists manually

 

Creating a completely blank Craft install, exporting all data from the live site, then importing all the existing field data and entries

Result: PHP error as it can't create the fields with the custom Locales
