Default Language

The default language for all services are defined in the "build.properties" and "dspace.cfg" files.

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/build.properties#L40
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L49
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/dspace/config/dspace.cfg#L1385-L1394

Web UI Locale

Look for the following in the dspace.cfg file and configure accordingly (define supported locales FIRST, then define the default locale).

webui.supported.locales = en, en_ZA, de
default.locale = en_ZA

Now, check to see if an appropriate language file exists in one the following folders, if using the XMLUI;

/home/dspace/source/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/i18n/
/home/dspace/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/i18n/
