I have been building a site which has Finnish as the default language and English as an option. We want to launch the Finnish site now but all of the English translations aren't complete so we'd like to disable English until a later date.

Very probably a stupid question but if we disable English will everything we have already filled in still be there we we switch it back on in a few weeks?

Did a couple tests on this theory:

- Disable english (or default language) --> descriptions stay in DB
- Enable english, disable alternate language --> descriptions stay in DB
- Delete alternate language --> descriptions are DELETED
- Re-add the same alternate language --> starts fresh with the next lang_id integer (backups might be different lang_id)

So as long as you just disable them and dont delete the languages, they should keep the data.

Great, that's what I thought would happen but I was too chicken to test it out because there's already data on around 400 products.

Thanks!
