Answers.Text: So, it is not possible to have an English CP with a foreign language locaöe only? To have this would be nice, because it is difficult to follow the English documentation with a translation based CP (unfortunately the German CP translation quality is not so good).

Answers.Text: Why not have both `en` and `de` locales in Settings->Locales, then you can view the CP in English, but enter content in German?

  From the [docs](http://buildwithcraft.com/docs/config-settings#defaultCpLanguage):
  
  > 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.
