Title: backend language Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # backend language * Resolved [Clickadelic](https://wordpress.org/support/users/clickadelic/) * (@clickadelic) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backend-language/) * Hi, * First of all, thank you for building such a nice booking calendar. * My question: how do I enable German language for the backend? * I have seen that there are already dozens of languages in the **booking/languages** folder, including the German .mo/.po files. * I’m using German as a backend language, but all of the calendar functions show up in English. * Thanks for a short hint. * Best Regards * Toby * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/booking/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/booking/) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [wpdevelop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevelop/) * (@wpdevelop) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backend-language/#post-6763602) * Hello. Please be sure that you activated specific language for your admin panel. For example in latest versions of WordPress, you can change language of WordPress at the WordPress > Settings > General page. If you are using some translation plugin, like WPML or qTranslate, to have several languages in your system, then you can switch language of admin panel in interface of those translation plugins. Please read more info about translations at the FAQ [http://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/](http://wpbookingcalendar.com/faq/) at the translation section.

However, I have found an issue which was the thing that confused me (and propably a couple of other German users). * There are 2 forms in German, formal version and informal version. * Formal is the so called “Sie Form”, while informal is the “Du Form”. * Now, when you have the informal version selected in the backend (regular default language pack in WordPress), the backend language of the “Booking Calendar” switches to German as well, which is fine. * The Issue: when you are using the formal version “Sie Form”, the plugin stays in English in the backend which is due to some language detection issues I guess. Fixing this would be highly appreciated. * I needed to switch to informal German, which is not appropriate for my project. * Plugin Author [wpdevelop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpdevelop/) * (@wpdevelop) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backend-language/#post-6763724) * Hello. What type of locales for the formal version and informal version ? Currently Booking Calendar using only one de_DE locale. If “informal German” using the different locale, then you need to rename the translation file at the ../{Booking Calendar Folder}/languages/ folder from booking-de_DE.mo to file name with locale of your informal German version.

Then retest it again. If its not help, please deactivate your active theme and active the default WordPress theme. And then retest it again. May be there exist some conflict with some active plugin or actual theme and just need to find the reason of that issue. * If the issue relative to your theme, please contact support of your theme about checking about the reason of this issue. * Usually such issue relative of not having `` in header.php file or because of using some cache system that load only previously cached data. * I can suggest that reason can be in this file: * `` * Can you check with support of your theme about purpose o this file, is this file contain only JS files of your theme or its also aggregate JS and CSS files of other plugins… ?
