language mix on website

  • Hi, since a while I see that on our website half is in Dutch and other items are in English. Drop down menu’s are diplayed in English instead of Dutch. The button to add a purchase in the cart is displayed in English instead of Dutch. The mails I receive when someone placed an order are in English instead of Dutch. It always worked fine in Dutch in the past but the last few weeks things got mixed up. Also my WP admin page is mixed in both languages.

    I use WP 6.7.1 and my general site settings are put in Dutch.

    Anyone familiar with this issue and how to get it fixed? I’m not an expert in WP or webdesigns.

  • Hi Steven,

    This sounds frustrating, but don’t worry—it’s likely a misconfiguration or a small issue with a plugin. Here are a few things you can check to get things back to Dutch: 1. Check Your Site Language Settings

    Since your general settings are already set to Dutch, double-check this in your WordPress dashboard:

    • Go to Settings > General, and ensure the Site Language is set to Dutch.

    If it’s already correct, the issue might be coming from a plugin or theme. 2. Plugin Conflict

    Sometimes, plugins (especially multilingual ones) can cause language inconsistencies.

    • Go to Plugins and check if you have any multilingual plugins like WPML or Polylang installed.
    • If yes, make sure they are configured to use Dutch as the default language.
    • If you don’t need a multilingual setup, you might consider disabling these plugins temporarily to see if it fixes the issue.

    3. Theme Settings

    Some themes have their own language settings. If your site uses a theme like WooCommerce or a custom one:

    • Check your theme’s options in the Theme Customizer or its dedicated settings panel.
    • Ensure Dutch is selected as the default language.

    4. WooCommerce (if you use it)

    If your site is running WooCommerce and some elements (like the cart button) are showing in English:

    • Go to WooCommerce > Settings > General and confirm the language setting.
    • Ensure the Dutch WooCommerce language pack is installed. If not, you can install it from Dashboard > Updates or Plugins > Add New > Language Packs.

    5. Email Settings

    For the email language issue, check:

    • WooCommerce > Emails: Make sure the email templates aren’t overridden in English.
    • If custom email plugins are used, confirm their language settings.

    If none of these steps work, it could be related to a recent plugin/theme update or a caching issue. Try clearing your site cache (if you’re using a caching plugin) or contact your theme/plugin support.

    Let me know how it goes! I’m happy to help further if needed. ??
