 * If I am correct you can change the %s values by defining the language of your
   WordPress installation. You can do so in your wp-config.php.
 * For example
    `define( 'WPLANG', 'de_DE' );`
 * See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language)
   for the instructions. Note that you will have to use the appropriate country_languages
   codes. There are two links on the above page that can help you find the right
   combination.
