ka-chuS	Tell us what you are trying to do? I am trying to change the "Default locale". My website is based in Hong Kong, not Taiwan, so I think it's better to choose zh_HK than zh_TW? But what will happen if I make this change? Is there a similar example that we can see? Screenshot: hidden link What is the link to your site? hidden link

Nothing bad should happen, it will only give the information to the browser that the site is based in Hong Kong. If you want to feel extra safe, you can create a full website backup first but nothing bad should happen at all. This is just information that the site servers to the browser. Mihai Apetrei
