# Plugin Localization

 * So, my Site Language (from Settings > General) is different to some of my administrators’
   language (from Users > Profile). Some (weirdly, not all) of the text in the plugin(
   I don’t know about others from Inisev, but I suspect so) is using the Site Language,
   disregarding the User Profile language.
 * Can it be changed so that the localization is consistent? Additionally, can it
   be changed to honor the User Profile language instead of defaulting to the Site
   Language?
 * Thanks very much,

 * Hi [@storymasterq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/storymasterq/)
 * All of our plugins uses WordPress native translation methods that are integrated
   with wordpress.org plugin localization module.
 * Because of that we cannot really interfere with it.
 * Your experience could be caused because some of selected language is not translated
   yet, or simply language pack was not downloaded yet.
 * The user has to go to Dashboard -> Updates and download his language pack there.
 * That user has to be permitted to do that, if language pack is not available it
   will use backup language, site language or native plugin language which is English.
 * Let me know if you need help with debugging this 🙂
   Thank you!

 * Actually, my site language is in fact not English, while my user’s language is
   actually English, and as I mentioned, the plugin is using the site language instead
   of English, which is jarring when all the other plugins use the user’s language,
   which is English, instead of the site language.
 * Is it not just something like it defaulting to localize using the site language
   before checking the user’s language first?
