  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-01)
  
  I have a site that serves German content. Now we have an admin that wants to have the backend in English.
  
  So I've added English in the locales. This works fine for standard Craft things.
  
  But in Craft Commerce all of the products are now in two languages. Is there a way to turn off the language for Craft Commerce?
  
  I've looked into product types, but you can't just turn off a language.
  
  Problem is, that this admin is also the CEO of that shop.
