   Hello, everyone!
   I am in a bit of struggle to change the language on my site, (which I decided to let WordPress power), and I would really appreciate your help!
   So here is the story:
   I have a hosting over at bluehost, and I decided to install wordpress on my domain. So far so good, but I really need to change its language. So I went to the 'WordPress in my language page' and followed the instructions, but to no avail. I edited wp-config.php and I uploaded the .mo file correctly, but there was just no effect. I am running a theme called iFeature. I really don't want to change it, because I have already spent a vast ammount of time customizing it and setting up everything.
   Same thing with my sub domain, but this time with a different language! I can't get French, German, Greek, Bulgarian, Japanese, or any language running.
   Any help on what I am doing wrong?
   Thanks a bunch in advance and I really hope you know a solution.

   PS: I also have a second question, and I will try to ask it here instead of posting again: I want to make my subdomain an exact copy of my main domain, but in a different language. Any tools/walthroughs to help me with that? Or does it suffice to just copy/paste the directories and files?

   Thanks a lot in advance!

   Don't bump your posts.

   Some themes come with multiple language options, you could search for one that fit your needs. Otherwise, you could try: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

   As for question 2, just copying files to your subdomain would not work. You would need to also export a copy of the database, and make a new database for the subdomain, and import the exported backup into that, then you would need to update the wp-config.php to match the database connection information for the new database/user/password. Lastly, you would need to change your site and home URLs.
