    Hi,

    I have translated .PO file of the theme to Arabic, you can copy that file to the wp-content/languages folder, edit the config.php and set the WPLANG and the theme will be translated but it seems not to happened with the PO file, is there something wrong i have did ?

    Will the line will be like this

    define ('WPLANG','ar','ar_AR');

    or something else

    Thank you,
    Mena

    should look like this
    define ('WPLANG', 'ar_AR');

    also don't you need an ar.mo file?

    When i change the line

    define ('WPLANG', 'ar');

    to

    define ('WPLANG', 'ar_AR');

    the wordpress dashboard language switch to English version, although I'm using wordpress in Arabic

    Is there to solve this problem, because not only the dashboard switch to Arabic also every thing in the blog from text alignment to any thing was translated in the Arabic WP, although the theme language changed to Arabic

    I found that, wen they translated the wordpress version they made the language name in the config.php file to ar not ar_AR like in en_EN

    so when i tried the new name ar.mo, it worked fine.

    sorry for any disturbance.
