When you first install ICA-AtoM, the site's default language is set to English. This means that whenever a user visits your site it will automatically load the English interface. However, you may wish to have the site load in another language by default.

This is done by making a change in the /apps/qubit/config/settings.yml file. At the very bottom of the file (approximately line 97) is 'default_culture' setting. There may be a '#' character which comments out this setting. Delete the '#' and change the value from 'en' to the letter ISO-639-1 for your preferred default language, e.g. 'pt' for Portuguese, 'nl' for Dutch, 'fr' for French, etc.
