 * Hi there,
 * First of I am sorry if this has been posted already but I have looked and I cant
   seem to find it. I thought it would of been a common question but it doesn’t 
   seem to be.
 * I was wondering is there a way to change the “wordpress Default” for the language
   option in the profile/personal option part of the admin area when people sign
   up?
 * At the minute when people sign in and go to there profile page they get “wordpress
   default” as there language, is there anyway to change this to just English or
   EN? As I do have my wordpress set as English UK (En), which is under the wordpress
   defaut option when you click on it and scroll down.

 * Thank you very much
    Ian.
