   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.
