At a client, I tried to add a “Recently modified items” webpart. The server was set up in English (en-us), while the site was set up in Dutch (nl-nl).
I got an error stating that the webpart couldn’t find the customstrings.js file at _catalogs/masterpages/display templates/language files/nl-nl/customstrings.js?ctag=xxx
When I went to the folder (which you can find at “http://yoursitecollection/_catalogs/masterpages/display templates/language files”) I could see that it had a “En-Us” folder but not a “Nl-Nl” folder.
The quick fix I used was:
– create a new folder called “Nl-Nl” (or the language you want)
– copy the customstrings.js file from the “En-Us” folder to your new folder
Now, the “recent modified items” shows the actual stuff (and translated in the correct language).
Disclaimer: there is probably a better solution for this, like installing the correct language packs, but this is a quick-fix that works.
thank you, it works perfectly
– info: i have installed language pack but folder was not created. your fix help
Worked great!
Been Struggling with it from a very long time. your fix solved my problem.
People can change/check their server regional settings by adding _layouts/15/regionalsetng.aspx to your central admin link
Great fix. Thanks!
