Update/Modify default Master language for a site

Vote:
 

Hi Folks,

We are having multiple sites in our solution, and few of them are in production with “en” as a master language. But for one new site we want to set “en-us” as master language as we are not using “en” here. 

To change the Master language, we used below SQL script, But it is working for pages only not for blocks. Could someone help on this, how we can modify/update the master langue for page dependents blocks also.

How many pages/blocks do you expect to be changed? updating using IContentRepository should be fast enough, while safer and more future proof

Thank you for your reply, We want to change it for one of the sites from our Multisite solution(don't want to disturb them as they are using "en" as master and already gone live). Also, could you please explain bit in detail, how it will be done by using IContentRepository ?

My bad, I always thought it is possible to change Master Language for CMS content, which is turned out to be, not. One alternative is to copy the content and resave in a different master language. quite troublesome yes but much safer ...
