Create New Primary Locale

Creates and assigns a new primary locale for a site.

This method changes the site's primary locale. The process may take time, depending on the amount of content present on the site. When called, this method returns a token, which you can use with the Get New Primary Locale Status method to check the status of the primary locale change.

Important:
  • The desired new primary locale can't already exist as a secondary locale on the site. If the locale is already a secondary locale on the site, you must first remove it from the site by calling Delete Locale before changing the primary locale.
  • This method automatically deletes the original primary locale and transfers its data to the new primary locale.
Authentication
