 * I have changed the blog language but I would like to keep the interface language
   English (it changed automatically).
    I read the instructions here on how to do
   it: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/language-settings/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/language-settings/)
 * According to this under Users > Personal Settings it should say languages but
   it doesn’t on my blog.
 * Any help will be much appreciated!!!!

 * Put this in your theme’s functions.php:
 *     ```
       function admin_in_english_locale( $locale ) {
       	if ( is_admin() || false !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php')
       		|| false !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/wp-login.php' ) ) {
       		return 'en_US';
       	}
       	return $locale;
       }
       add_filter( 'locale', 'admin_in_english_locale' );
       ```
   
 * or use this plugin: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-in-english/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/admin-in-english/)

 * The function did not work with the latest WP v3.
 * The plugin seems outdated.
 * 🙁
