 * I am a developer and i am trying to setup wordpress blog for my customer in Norway.
   I can’t understand Norwegian language so is it possible to configure the wordpress
   first from admin panel (using English) and when ready, change the language to
   Norwegian for both wp-admin and front end site (blog). It will be great to have
   an option to change the language of wp-admin and front website (blog). Can someone
   help?
 * I also read on the following page that there could be language selection dropdown
   menu for both admin and front blog in the wp-admin section.
    [http://en.support.wordpress.com/language-settings/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/language-settings/)
   But I just installed the latest version of wp but couldn’t find these menus as
   mentioned on the above provided link.
 * Please help. In case of further question. Feel free to ask.

 * That website is for wordpress.com, if you do have your own installation then 
   take a look at:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language](http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language)
 * Also look at plugins, there are lots which deal with translation, some even use
   google translate to dynamically change your site content.
