# 5.9 – language option

 * Suddenly there is a language option on the login page – US or UK English. Seems
   to be part of 5.9 update. It is quite unnecessary! Can I remove this?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2F5-9-language-option%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * `add_filter( 'login_display_language_dropdown', '__return_false' );`

 * Further point – under “Settings” there is a language option. Selecting “English–
   UK” and “Save changes” it reverts to “English – United States” !! It is impossible
   to change it apparently.

 * Further – changing language on the login page (wp-admin) appears to change it,
   but not in the “Settings”. However on next going to login it has reverted to 
   US English!

 * in functions.php
 * If use main theme path is wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME or if it’s child theme 
   wp-content/themes/CHILD-THEME.
