# Database difference depending on localization?

 * I created a demo site using the “original” english version of WP.
    Now I am launching
   the definitive website and have uploaded the italian WP version, as the other
   users are not fluent in english. I notice that the DB architecture is totally
   different – the italian version only has 10 fields, the english one 21. And now
   I can’t import the old DB into the new installation, of course. Is this “normal”?
   Is there any way I can use the old DB with the italian localization?
 * Thx
 * Paul

 * Hi
 * You said 10 fields – do you mean 10 tables? There are only 10 tables in the english
   WP. Perhaps the rest you are seeing were created by plugins?

 * My bad, indeed :-/
    I loaded the plugins on the new site, but I hadn’t activated
   them, therefore the table count was different.
 * One more lesson learnt, I suppose.
 * Thank you,
 * Paul
