Great ! Thank you for the information. Especially admin-page language selection from “profile” section. Best Mustafa
You would like to change Administration Language.You may go to the options User. Select your profile page. Change Language option under Personal Options.
Thanks, but that’s only a half stisfying solution. Because of faulty translation of a theme I’d like to switch to english for the dashboard language. But I want my site to remain an e.g. italian language website.
Only do this, if the language of you website should be the same like the admin language. Otherwise, search engines will crawl your website e.g. as Espanol, even if you website is in english
