Hi, I'd like to create a wordpress blog ... In foreign language ... How can I change all the small stuff ... For example : The date on the post says : "March" - I want it to appear in my language ... It wrote "Author" for each post ... I'd like to change the word "Author" to be in my language ... Some 1 can give me direction on this issue ? Thanks .
The easiest (and best) way is to manually edit your theme files and change "Author" to whatever you want. And/or... There's a few translations at: http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language
Ty Kerosene ... This is the best way ? I know their is .mo and .po files ... But I don't know how to use them ... Actually what I need is that the theme will be in my language more than the admin area Some 1 can help me with that ?
Have you tried downloading a theme in your language? I'm sure there must be some and it would make your life easier. I have seen plenty in Spanish and in French for instance. Other than that, I would manually change the php file whenever it is relevant. I.e. look the author metadata, comments etc. change the text to something in your language.
Sorry if I can't be a big help, but when I ran a Korean WordPress blog, from what I remember, because the core is in Korean, when you apply a theme, it will show up just fine in Korean. Have you tried applying a theme?
