Remove a Pre-Installed Language

How to Remove a Webshop Language

Step 1: Locate the variable '@LanguageId' in the script below and specify the locale ID of the language which should be removed. The language IDs can be found in the 'Languages' table of the Sana Commerce SQL database. This script can be also downloaded as a sql file.

CREATE FUNCTION remfld19823
(
 @xml XML,
 @field nvarchar(50)
)
RETURNS nvarchar(MAX)
AS
BEGIN
 DECLARE @value nvarchar(MAX);
 SELECT @value = N'<FieldsDictionary>'+CONVERT(nvarchar(max),@xml.query('
        for $v in /FieldsDictionary/*[@name != sql:variable("@field")]
        return $v'))+N'</FieldsDictionary>';
 RETURN @value;
END
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE remove_localized_field_21122011

 @fieldName nvarchar(255)

 UPDATE VariantComponentGroups SET Fields.modify('delete //field[@name = sql:variable("@fieldName")]');
 UPDATE VariantComponents SET Fields.modify('delete //field[@name = sql:variable("@fieldName")]');
