German locale & English CP language resulting in disappeared entries

Question

I have just one locale (German, de). Now, I've changed my CP language to English ('defaultCpLanguage' => 'en' in general.php).

But now, all my entries have disappeared in the CP (Craft Pro 2.4.2670).

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much for your help! MISc

From the docs:

The default language that the Control Panel should be rendered in, for users that haven’t specified their Preferred Locale.

defaultCpLanguage is only applied for users that don't have a Preferred Locale set in their user profile.

Your entries disappeared because you don't have any entries created in the English locale, yet. You might need to enable en under the Section's settings before that's an option.
