Trouble with WPLANG

  • I keep having error messages on en_US.mo not found in the languages directory. The problem is so bad that I can’t even log in to the admin page (because there is no en_US.mo file). I have read many forum posts about this supposedly non-existing file.

    The following defult code of course did not work:

    define (‘WPLANG’, ”);

    * *

    I have tried changing it to:

    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en’);

    Then I start getting error messages of unable to access en.mo file.

    * *

    I also have tried changing it to:

    define (‘WPLANG’, ‘en_US’);

    And it’s back to the missing en_US.mo file error message.

    This is a flesh new install on our server, first time. I have created a languages subfolder, but without any actual file to place into it. I have searched for en.mo or en_us.mo, but I still cannot find any actual file. Would someone please let me know what I can do? Thank you!!

    I got so desperate I created an empty file by Notepad then named it “en_US.mo”. I uploaded it to the langues folder.

    Next I got the “file was empty” error message instead of missing file error. So I opened up the file and hit Space key 10 times. Uploaded it again.

    Finally, everything worked without any error message! I was able to log in and change settings!

    I’d still prefer a more “official” way of solving it, but I am content now. Just thought that I would share it.
