scandir is causing me some issues. Thanks!

I,ve installed your Plug-In and I,m using WordPress 2.8.6. Now I,ve a problem. WordPress shows me the different languages and if I choose one, nothing happen. The backend language is still the same. Could you please help me?

Using my plugin you don’t have to chage the WPLANG in the config. also you shouldn’t change the WPLANG, as it changed both, the backend AND the frontend language.

At least I have been able to activate your plugin. Now I can see the language switches on the login screen and in the backend. But they do not provide any functionality. Any changes I do are not applied. Only the ‘Blog language’-option in the ‘Settings>Generals’ tab seem to be able changing the language of the backend.
The only thing I did has been creating a directory ‘languages’ in the ‘wp-content’ dir and putting in the ‘de_DE.mo’ language file and editing the ‘wp-config.php’ line define (‘WPLANG’, ”); to define (‘WPLANG’, ‘de_DE’);. Further info: using WordPress MU 2.8.5.2 .

Thanks again for any help

Again many thanks for finding this error!
