 * Hello,
 * sorry if this topic already exists…
    I see there are multiple .mo language files
   in the ‘lang’ folder. But how can I activate my own language?

 * [@unika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/unika/) – By default, setting your
   native language in your WordPress Settings options will trigger using the appropriate
   language file from NextGEN Gallery if it exists or is available via the WordPress
   translation repository. If your language is not available you may need to address
   that yourself by either contributing to the community translations or possibly
   with the following plugin (or something similar): [https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/)

 * I’m from Belgium. At the settings page, the language was set to ‘nl’, everything
   was in dutch except NGG. I changed the language from ‘nl’ to ‘nederlands’ and
   NGG’s language also changed to dutch.
    Thanks for the advice! This topic is resolved!
