 * // Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the
    // chosen
   language must be installed to wp-content/languages. // For example, install de.
   mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to ‘de’ // to enable German language
   support. define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en’);
 * Is : “en” correct for English?
 * + what else do I have to do besides designate the language here?

 * If you are using English you don’t need to do anything to that value. It will
   default to English if the value is empty.
