Can't change language (5 posts)

    Hi,

    On my 3.2.1 installation of wordpress at blog.roadtripping.dk i can't change the language (both front and admin).

    I have uploaded the correct .po and .mo files in wp-content/languages and edited the wp-config also, but still the page is in english (I want to use a da_DK translation).

    The problem seems to be, that under Settings > General I cant find the drop-down menu where you can choose the default language. It is simply missing! The same is happening at the user-setting-page.

    Do anyone have a possible solution to this problem?

    I am in the same situation, can somebody help?
    I use the automatic installation, at the end of the installation it said the installation was completed without any problem.
    However, everything stays in english and I cannot find the button to change the language either.

    Hi there!

    I had the same problem, I uploaded the proper .mo files and changed wp-config and the language would not update.

    What did the trick was to go to the Dashboard tab and the section Update

    Dashboard > Update

    where the system recognized that I had two different languages. I updated the core files in the desired language and presto!

    Let me know if it helps :)

    Make sure the install's language is set correctly in wp-config.php file, which should be located in your root folder.

    If you're seeing your site in English, then you will probably find this line of code:

    define('WPLANG', '');

    update it to this instead (for da_DK translation).

    define('WPLANG', 'da_DK');
