 * Hello,
    I want to add a custom language in the general settings but nothing is
   happening after clicking on the “Add language” button. No error message but nothing
   else is changed. I have all plugins disbled, except WP-Multilang. I use for testing
   also the standard WordPress theme “Twinty Seventeen”. I test it on a local virtual
   webserver (Oracle Virtual Box). Thanks in advance for any help.

 * Hello,
    Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean by “adding locales”? I have retry
   it, even with adding more languages to my WordPress website with the WP Multilanguage
   plugin disabled, and after adding more languages and enabling WP Multilanguage,
   there rest only 1 language active and it is the first language en-US. I can’t
   add new custom languages at all. My test website is standard WordPress Version
   4.8.2 with no extra plugins enabled. It seems very hard to add new custom languages
   or what do I wrong? Thanks in advance for any further assistance or help.

 * Hi,
    See the first screenshot for the local languages that I have added (with
   the WP Multilang disbled). See on: [https://prnt.sc/gvbj1y](https://prnt.sc/gvbj1y)
   With your WP Multilanguage plugin enabled, it’s not possible for my to add any
   languages. Then see the second screenshot where you can see that I only can select
   one standard language. There is no notice elsewhere on the screen that indicate
   that I have more languages to select etc. See on: [https://prnt.sc/gvbm6w](https://prnt.sc/gvbm6w)
   Hopefully this can help you to look furtheron…?

   options starts from `wpm_`.

 * Hi,
    Alright!!! That’s it! 🙂 Yes, by disabling, uninstalling or deleting completly
   the WP Multilang plugin and reinstalling and activating again, now I see all 
   my added languages and it’s also working to add new languages either! See the
   new screenshot at: [https://prnt.sc/gvccjd](https://prnt.sc/gvccjd) Now, I will
   try all the rest of this WP Multilang plugin. Thank you so much for your good
   and amazing fast support! I realy appreciate it. Thanks again and keep going 
   the good work! 😉
