I have a force.com site, which uses a bunch of fixed (English) text, but also some standard labels, e.g. 

<apex:outputField id="extension" value="{!user.extension}"/>

Depending on the users browser settings (I'm guessing e.g. the content language preference in Firefox), users see translated versions of these labels.

I don't want to translate all of my site, so I'm looking for a way to stop salesforce from showing translated labels. I think all of these may work (I haven't tested them all), but they require a bunch of manual work, that I also need to remember to do on each label, page, ... I add in the future:

  • Manually add the English label to each apex:outputField, apex:inputField etc, and hope I don't use anything standard that I cannot touch (or override it all).
  • for all my pages (and hope I don't have any standard pages I didn't override)

I'm looking for a better way, preferably one that will say for the entire site: 'salesforce please display English labels only'. Something in the site Template maybe?

I believe Translation Workbench is activated in your org. If you want to force only English, you can disable it by going to Setup --> Translation Workbench --> Translation Settings then disable it.

  • Thanks for the suggestion, but no, the translation workbench is not enabled (going to that page only gives me the option to enable it).

It turns out my idea that the language is detected from the browser is wrong: it is set in the users settings. By not changing the language setting for a user (and not allowing users to do so themselves), they will see only English.
