Language doesn’t change

  • Hi,

    I’ve got a WordPress 2.7.1 running and am trying to get it into the Dutch language.

    So, as I found here I changed wp-config to:

    define ('WPLANG', 'nl_NL');

    and uploaded nl_NL.mo and nl_NL.po intoto wp-content/languages.

    But nor back-end (admin) panel, nor front-end (blog) is changing at all.

    What could be the problem ?

    PS: I’ve come across this via Google, but spotted that that has been fixed as part of WordPress in the meanwhile…

  • You need to change the language on the settings pages on the Dashboard – Site Admin > Options and Settings > General. Having uploaded the language file and changed wp-config it should now appear as an option with a dropdown.

    There is no such menu on my General settings page…

    Anyone ? I’m kindof in a hurry on this one :/

    I’ve tried both wp-content/languages and wp-includes/languages.

    * Checked permissions (both file and folder) (chmoded to 777 for sake of test)
    * Checked latest update of both lang-files and WordPress (2.7.1)
    * Tried nl-NL, nl_NL and nl in wp-config.php

    So, the 3 steps I have basicly done so far:
    – Install wordpress
    – upload .mo and .po files into language folder
    – define ('WPLANG', 'nl_NL'); in wp-config.php

    Is there anything else required ? Or are there exceptions possible ?
    What am I doing wrong, are there known bugs ? Anything ?

    PS: So I want the blog to be Dutch-only. No need for multi-language in any way. Just get into Dutch.
    PS2: The nl_NL.mo/nl_NL.po -files are currently the only 2 files in the languages folder in both wp-content and wp-includes.
