It will ONLY change the admin side language and the language can be selected on profile page. It has some bug with russian language pack, but any other language that I have tested with "normal" characters works fine. To use the plugin you need to download the language files for each language you want to use and upload them normally to languages folder. I'll try publish a working plugin in a month or so. goko: if u wanna use that code u have to build up a plugin. goko on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-64827 Sat, 17 Jan 2009 22:47:54 +0000 goko 64827@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Excuse my ignorance but where shall I paste daily's code? path2u on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-61974 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 18:19:15 +0000 path2u 61974@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ hey Daily, it sounds like you have made some progess with this.

So wp-config.php is untouched in that case too. I just tried overriding the locale function with add_filter and it seems to work fine. I don't know why it didn't work earlier when i tried it? You can use the previous code, just switch the add_filter to this: <pre><code>//Filters if (is_admin()) add_filter('locale', array($wp_adminLanguageSwitcher, 'load_admin_textdomain'));</code></pre> I'll do some more testing, clean up the code and release the entire plugin some time near future.

I found out that if WP_LANG is empty (default lang en_US), u can override to your preferred language using init hook and load_textdomain function, but it fails for some reason if WP_LANG is something else than empty.[/blockquote] So what is the problem? Surely it is not much to ask of a WPMU admin who would like this too (very much, thank you ;) !) to clear the WP_LANG value in wp-config.php? In fact, it is already <code>define('WPLANG', '');</code> in mine... Or do I misunderstand you here? daily on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-61005 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:33:50 +0000 daily 61005@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Hi Jesse, I got kind of stuck with my plugin and since I didn't get any help here either the plugin is still on hold. I don't know if it's done by plugin in wordpress.com or by hacking core files, but at least that shows us it is doable. I've been looking allover to solve the problems with this plugin, but I guess there isn't that many who actually knows how to manipulate/override default locale and I couldn't figure it out either. But if you do find anything that could help post links here. When I figure out how to override the basic locale, it should be only a matter of few hours to deliver a working plugin for everyone to use. jesse@path2u.com on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-60993 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 19:45:37 +0000 jesse@path2u.com 60993@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Has there ever been a good solution to this. I was looking for exactly what you had mentioned Daily. A plugin which translates the admin, and structure of wordpress. I am not concerned with the post text, as that in not accurate enough for our blog writers who will write in their native languages. I just want a language menu so viewers can see which blogs are in their languages, and get around the site to read them. Any ideas would be wonderful. thanks, Jesse <a href="mailto:jesse9goodman@gmail.com">jesse9goodman@gmail.com</a> neovita on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-59492 Tue, 14 Oct 2008 16:27:43 +0000 neovita 59492@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ Have any of you tried Poplar Ware multi language plugin? <a href="http://www.poplarware.com/languageplugin.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.poplarware.com/languageplugin.html</a> daily on "Multi language set up" http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/topic/2042/page/2#post-58802 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 15:11:48 +0000 daily 58802@http://mu.wordpress.org/forums/ I guess nobody here can help me. :( I was stuck, I had to do solve this problem somehow, so I ended up hacking wp-config.php file.

This plugin only changes the admin locale, not the entire blogs. So if u have multiple authors each author can use wordpress admin in their preferred language. Each users language setting is saved in user profile in variable WP_ADMIN_LANG. The plugin automatically detecs the language files (.mo) in wp-content/languages folder and displays a dropdown box in users profile settings. Everything works allready this far. But tricky part is to get the actual localization to work, I havent found solution yet. I need to know when, and wich functions actually handles the loading of the locale. How can I override that function and can it be done by using action or filter hooks." This feature is in wordpress.com, so it shouldn't be impossible to achieve. Donncha can you point me to right direction? I would not like to touch config.php, because that would really destroy the ease of plugin installation. Additional feature for wpmu is ability for admins to set a default admin language.
