Create New Primary Locale


Developer Preview

This API is subject to change. Bug fixes and new features will be released based on developer feedback throughout the preview period.

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

You can only call this method when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity.
