<h3>Translations</h3>
<h4>Using another language</h4>
You’ll need to modify your wp-config.php file. To do this…
<ol>
<li>Open your <code>wp-config.php</code> file in a text editor and search for: <code>define ('WPLANG', '');</code></li>
<li>Edit this line according to the language you want to use (and is available). For example, for Deutsch spoken in Germany, you must add: <code>('WPLANG', 'de_DE');</code></li>
<li>Once you’ve added your language code, save the file.</li>
<li>Upload the modified wp-config.php file into the WordPress root directory.</li>
</ol>
Of course, you’ll replace de_DE with the language extension that you want to use, unless of course you actually did want the German language translation.
