# wp-config.php problem

 * I’m a complete noob, so please don’t be reluctant to explain at a VERY basic 
   level. Feel free to write as if I’m really stupid too.
 * I’m trying to use a theme called binary-blue. This theme is reading in German
   even though the theme viewer test run showed that theme in English and other 
   themes I’ve tried showed up in English just fine when I put them on my site. 
   By reading the “readme” text I believe I have found the explanation (see especially
   the last sentence of the quotation):
 * “IMPORTANT!!!! Make sure you have set up your wordpress
    installation correctly,
   especially the WPLANG! This variable MUST have a valid value like EN_US, ZH_CN,
   ES_ES and so on, otherwise it may happen that your wordpress installation will
   produce errors like the well-known Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent
   class: cachedfilereader in /some/directory/structure/here/wp-includes/wp-l10n.
   php on line 72 It is ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY for the Binary Blue theme to have a
   valid locale definition in your wp-config.php, as the theme is fully localized
   and therefore depends on a correct setup! Because this is the most commonly known
   issue with localized themes and plugins, I have now – finally – implemented a
   check routine that will look whether the WPLANG is set with a non-empty value,
   and if this check fails, the complete theme will fall back to its native German
   language.”
 * So apparently the WPLANG is set up wrong in my wp-config.php
 * How do I make the fix please.

 * Apparently I need to edit wp-config.php
 * I believe that Notepad should be what I should edit it with, and I believe that
   I understand the edit that needs to be done.
 * I just don’t now how to access wp-config.php in such a way as to be able to open
   it with Notepad. Please tell me how to access wp-config.php in such a way that
   I can edit the file with Notepad.

 * Don’t you have all the WP files on your computer? How did you upload them if 
   not? So, find it and edit it.
    If you used some kind of on-click install thingy
   offered by your host – then download the wp-config.php file with your FTP client.
   And after editing, upload it.
