Hi all
My configuration is the following:

Standard-Lanuage: German
Additional-Languages: English, Spanish

My Wordpress Admin-Interface is all German and in the wp-config.php I have set WP_LANG to de_DE.
I use the K2 Theme and put the localization .mo files in the right folder.

Everything works fine in the German and the Spanish Section, but when opening the English One the Texts are displayed in German instead of English. So its using the themes de_DE.mo instead of the english original language strings.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Did you install the English .mo files for both WordPress and your theme?

Then, you need to go to WPML->Languages->Theme localization and enter the English locale name for English.

That page will tell you if the .mo files are found in their correct directories. Have a look here:
http://wpml.org/2009/05/wordpress-theme-localization/

Near the end, there's a screen shot with the theme localization section.

I have the same problem:

Standard-Lanuage: Spanish
Additional-Languages: English

And I can't enter the local name for English because the admin panel show it like the default one. (Look here: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3370/3656461980_c87ffbd7e6_o.png). A solution would be to set the wordpress default language to English, but is important to have the admin panel in the locale language (Spanish).

¿Any other ideas?

I solved the problem using a little PHP function on my functions.php file:
```
function fix_wpml(){

    $languages = icl_get_languages('skip_missing=0');

    if(!empty($languages)){

        foreach($languages as $l){

            if($l['active']&&$l['language_code']!='en')

                load_theme_textdomain('MYTEXTDOMAIN');

        }

    }

}
```
The script only set the textdomain if the language isn't English.

I found in the languages.php (Line 356) inside the menu folder of WPML that the code shows always the English language as default. May be you have to change that.

This is actually a good hack. I hope we can implement the admin-language selection soon and then, it can be avoided, but in the mean while - this should work.

No problem. This function will go into WPML soon. You'll have a language selector per user for the admin section.
