 * Hi,
 * I have a landing page that invites visitors to fill in their e-mail. There are
   two buttons that are automatically generated in wordpress’ default language (
   newsletter & contact). Even though I’m using the wordpress admin centre in English,
   these buttons still appear in French, how can I get these buttons in English ?
 * Thanks in advance !
    Kind regards, Paul.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-change-default-language%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@pauldeloecker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauldeloecker/),
 * Please make sure you have “Site language” (from Settings > General) set to “English(
   United States)”.
    Right now it seems that your site language is “French”: [https://screenshots.firefox.com/vori3YyKGUeOhIQR/lafamillequivoyage.com](https://screenshots.firefox.com/vori3YyKGUeOhIQR/lafamillequivoyage.com)
