    Hi,

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    My website is hosted on Bluehost and i used the auto-setup WordPress module, which by default, intalled the English version of WordPress. But my website is in French.

    I believe it had consequences on some PHP related elements (ex : comments) (ex : comments read “comments” and not “commentaire) and some impact on SEO plugin parameters (Yoast). I find this kind of meta data in my Yoast plugin code “<meta property=”og:locale” content=”en_US” />”

    However, my theme is translated into French.

    My question is fairly simply : How can I switch back WordPress to the French version in future updates, or in my current WordPress setup.

    Thanks in advance for your tips and advice !

    Laurent

    For other WP users experiencing the same issue, i have solved the problem.

    – Create a language folder on your server in public_html/yourwebsite/wp-content/languages
    – Copy and paste in this folder the language files of the Worpdress version in your language : They can be found here : WordPress -> WP Content –> Languages
    – Go to Wp-config file : add “fr_FR” in define(‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’).

    It’a all done !
