   Hi,

   I currently have a WP installation (Up to date at 2.9.1), and already have some content in Spanish, theme, etc. in there...

   How can I install the WP in Spanish version without losing any of the content, theme, settings, etc?

   (I've been using WordPress for years, and only now noticed that there is a version in Spanish and my audience is all Spanish).

   Thanks in advance!

   Saludos,
   No estoy seguro, pero tengos unos ideas... first, do a backup. :)

   You will need the language file. I believe the one you want is: es_ES.mo
   ... and it should be placed in this folder (which you may not have yet):
   /wp-content/languages/

   To get the es_ES.mo file, it looks like it can be found in the download here for WP 2.9.1:
   http://ovalencia.com/descargas/wordpress-2-9-1-en-espanol/

   Then you need to look at wp-config.php. You'll see a setting in there called WPLANG, which you can change from nothing (the English default) - I believe that it's "es_ES".

   That should work. There may still be plugins and other things still in English. Here are some more links that may help:

   Good luck,
   Ciao, Dave
