Overriding language json files from plugin

[jzbg]

I have reviewed this older discussion:
https://community.nodebb.org/topic/4647/how-to-override-language-login-json-file-through-plugin

I have attempted to follow everything in the latest 1.11.1 , but I cannot make the language file override the existing file...

Here is my basic setup

Persona theme
NodeBB 1.11.1
My Plugin

In my plugin.json I have added:

"languages": "static/languages"

In my plugin folder I have a folder:

static/languages

Inside this folder I have 1 folder only:

 en-US

Inside this folder I have 1 file only:

category.json

This category.json was copied from the default nodebb base folder

nodebb/public/language/en-US/category.json 

To test if my plugin is overriding the default category.json included in the base I have updated the category.json my plugin/static/languages/en-US/category.json with the following:

 "new_topic_button": "HELLO WORLD!",

I have re-built all assets and restarted the entire nodebb service.

I have refreshed my browser and still the new_topic_button continues to show the old "New Topic" text.

I am expecting "HELLO WORLD!"

What am I doing wrong? How can my plugin update the text inside these language files?

Thank you!

Is the plugin activated? Have you run ./nodebb build and restarted? Are you sure you're using the en-US language when you check?

I am using grunt for development, but i have fully killed the grunt watcher and have manually started up the ./nodebb build and made sure to fully kill and start up nodebb so it rebuilds all assets.... Still Its not using the language file.

Where can I check the default nodebb language setting that is currently in use?

I might have found the issue....

I see that my nodebb is defaulted to en-GB

Let me switch this! One moment....

RESOLVED

If anyone else sees this thread... Don't be the american who thinks the default should be en-US....

It appears that the nodeBB default language was set for en-GB

If you need to adjust the language default setting:

Go to your NodeBB ACP (admin control panel) => General => Languages
