Default language

 

English is the default language for every WordPress installation; how-

ever, you can use any of the language translations currently available for

WordPress by changing the WPLANG parameter in the wp-config.php file. By default, the WPLANG parameter looks like this:

/**

* WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

* 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’, ‘‘);

We don’t have the room to list the all the available languages, but you

can find the specifics at the WordPress Codex page (http://codex.
wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language), which lists all the
languages you have access to, including the language code. If you want
WordPress translated into French, for example, look up the language code
on the Codex page. You can see that the code is fr_FR. To use French
rather than English, you change the WPLANG parameter to:

define (‘WPLANG’, ‘fr_FR’);

Then save the file and upload it to your server. Your WordPress Dashboard

displays in the French language, rather than the default English.
