 * I have a site that I need to publish in Chinese. I need the Admin side of the
   site to remain in English, as I don’t speak Chinese!
 * I have included the languge code in my config file:
 * define (‘WPLANG’, ‘zh_CN’);
 * I have also created a rtl.css file, to override the css.
 * But when I view the source of the page, it says:
    <html xmlns=”[http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221](http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221);
   dir=”ltr” lang=”zh-CN”>
 * But I want the direction to be rtl.
 * Any ideas anyone??
 * Thanks in advance!
