Title: Ok Zé helped me build the pack for… Author: akerbeltzalba Published: September 6, 2014 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akerbeltzalba/) [akerbeltzalba](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akerbeltzalba/) 2:57 pm _on_ September 6, 2014 Tags: [l10n ( 5 )](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/tag/l10n/), [request ( 1,481 )](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/tag/request/)    # Ok Zé helped me build the pack for… Ok, Zé helped me build the pack for 4.0, then when into my 3.9.2 site and upgraded to 4.0 but there’s a hitch. The 3.9.2. was installed with English as admin UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. language but Gaelic (gd) as the public UI language. According to Zé, if I go to Settings > Site language I should be able to switch the admin UI language. It *does* offer Gaelic but when I select it and save, it tells me (in Gaelic) that the settings have been changed. If I reload the page, the setting has reverted back to English. Any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong?

[Dominik Schilling (ocean90)](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ocean90/) 9:48 am _on_ September 7, 2014 3. Does it still happen with all plugins disabled and a default theme (Twenty Fourteen or Twenty Thirteen) activated? Do you have the WPLANG constant defined? 4. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ece531cfef717ffe8bc65b36b4280c16d7879e123e76384544525c22faf13cce? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 5.

I have taken WPLANG out of the config.php as the system flagged it as no longer needed. have not tried disabling plugins and changing theme as it’s a live site and not sure if switching themes will break anything? 7. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fcfb66f478edda7cae23873523a6994855a9e8199737a8ebb02d0fa00fbd94ad? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 8.

[akerbeltzalba](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akerbeltzalba/) 11:23 am _on_ September 8, 2014 13. So it turns out that Polylang is preventing the language setting from being implemented, the moment I deactivate it, it flips to Gaelic, the moment I re-activate it, it forces back to English. I’ve filed a bug with Polylang [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-prevents-switching-admin-ui-language-in-40?replies=1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/polylang-prevents-switching-admin-ui-language-in-40?replies=1) Thanks for suggestions! 14. * ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ece531cfef717ffe8bc65b36b4280c16d7879e123e76384544525c22faf13cce? s=32&d=mm&r=g) * [akerbeltzalba](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akerbeltzalba/) 10:56 pm _on_ September 8, 2014 * Wasn’t even a Polylang issue. There seem to be conflicting language settings in WP, the people at Polyland directed me at Users > Your Profile where I had to choose either WP Default or Gaelic. Perhaps that should be streamlined or made clearer? ### Leave a Reply 󠀁[Cancel reply](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/09/06/ok-ze-helped-me-build-the-pack-for/?output_format=md#respond)󠁿 You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fpolyglots%2F2014%2F09%2F06%2Fok-ze-helped-me-build-the-pack-for%2F&locale=en_US) to post a comment. # Post navigation [← here I explained some issue with my MM…](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/09/05/here-i-explained-some-issue-with-my-mm/) [In the mobile screen of ja wordpress org… →](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/2014/09/06/in-the-mobile-screen-of-ja-wordpress-org/)
