Language files
First of all, a little How-To Changing language in Wordpress:
How to install language files?
All language files for dialogue have to be stored in the themes main folder (e.g. /wp-content/themes/dialogue/)
How can i change the language?
The language is defined by your entry in the wp-config.php file in your wordpress root directory. Download wp-config.php from you webserver and open it with a (html) editor. Search for:
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘ ‘);
and add to name of the language file between ‘ ‘. For example, you must add following for change the language to german:
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘de_DE ‘);
Save the changes and re-upload the wp-config.php into the wordpress roots directory (confirm to overwrite the existing file if prompted).
Which languages are supported by dialogue?
Currently, dialogue theme supports following languages:
German (de_DE) and English (en_EN). These language files are already included in the theme, so you do not need to install them on your own.

It would be nice if you would get in touch with me through email. I have a couple of suggestions for your nice theme.

There is a typo, I believe it must be in your US translation: “comments are close”, instead of “comments are closed”

Hello!
Your theme is excellent, thanks!!!
But it’s supposed to work in French. I’ve done what you said here http://dialogue-theme.com/dialogue-theme-for-wordpress/language-files to have my blog in French, but it only work for the site admin. The blog is still in German. Any idea what to do? Thanks!

Hello Benoit,
can you send me the link to your blog?

Hello!
Thanks for trying to help me… Please find the link to the blog above. I still have German in the “search” field, at the end of messages (“Thema” and “Kommentare”), and when I’m connected as site admin the “edit message” is also in German. It’s very odd, since all the rest is in French! Thanks again for this beautiful theme!

We have the same problem as the person using the French language pack. Our issue is we want English (by the default) but things are showing up in German is certain spots. Can you please help?

Hi Stephan,
we love your theme, you did a fantastic job!
However, we are unable to remove some of the german from the various navigation bits. We changed the wp-config.php file to reflect en_US as the language, and the language files are available, but for some reason, comment, links etc. are still showing up in german. Can you advise what to do?
Cheers
Balt

Hi,
I love your dialogue theme. My page looks beautiful but parts of it are in English and parts are in German. I would like it all to be in English. I am on a Mac and I’ve tried to use your instructions to change the language but I cannot manage to fix this problem.

Fabulous theme, thank you.
Is there a way to place widgets in the footer?
Thanks

In the footer? No, haven’t ever thought about it. You think its necessary?

If you use WordPress MU update the WPLANG settings in the Site Admin > Blogs section edit the ‘WPLANG’ value of the blog you are interested in, versus the wp-config.php value.
