# language file not working

 *  Resolved [Stacey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pleasehelpme/)

 * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/language-file-not-working/)
 * Trying to change languages via instructions on plugin site. Downloaded language
   file.
    Cpanel – plugins – no language folder? Added lang.bak folder – dropped
   in the Fr.po and Fr.mo into file. Went back to site. Refreshed plugin, followed
   instructions in sidebar “Translation” – updated and this is the message that 
   shows:
 * This translation is not yet updated for Version 1.9.0. If you would like to help
   with translation, download the current po from the plugin folder and read here
   how you can translate the plugin.
 * Open the po in poedit, file is good…….???
 * Did I miss something?
 * Also, image browser is working on English site, but not on French site. All settings
   are the same.
 * Thanks!

 * [@stacey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stacey/) – thanks for posting back
   that this is resolved.
 * [@reebok532](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reebok532/) – thanks so much
   for jumping in to help a fellow user. That’s always awesome to see.
 * [@olivier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/olivier/).marie – sounds like 
   Stacey was using an old version and you are using the newer version. I know you
   also posted on this in another thread. As noted there, we still need to prep 
   the base file for translations and send that out.

 * –
    [@everyone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/everyone/) else – if you arrive
   on this thread and are wanting the translation files for the 2.x version, please
   add your voice to the thread I’ve linked just above so we can consolidate translation
   discussion on that thread. Adding your voice will help elevate the priority of
   prepping the translations vs dealing with other issues.
 * Thanks! (Erick)
 * –
    PS. I’m going to ask the mods to close this thread since the OP is resolved
   and there’s already another open thread on 2.x translations.
