dirkH-4	Tell us what you are trying to do? I want the frontend of my site in Dutch (which is OK now) but the backend is also translated from English to Dutch. I'm using the original English WP version. Translations on admin pages and dashboard strings are sometimes horrible, completely wrong (Third Party --> Derde Feest) and misleading. How can I stop/avoid that the backend is translated ? I want to keep everything in English for admins. Note : however, when a customer is logged in, texts need to be in Dutch as much as possible What is the link to your site? hidden link

Raja Mohammed Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Kolkata (GMT+05:30)	Hello there, From your site Dashboard, Goto Users > Your profile, Locate Language and set it to "English" and Save. This will load the WordPress Dashboard in English only for You. This change does not affect the frontend I hope this helps you better. Kind regards Raja
