 * I’m having problems doing this in 2.0.1. File is correctly named (es_ES.mo), 
   in correct location (wp-includes/languages/), directory is 755ed, wp-config edited
   correctly (‘WPLANG’, ‘es_ES’), but it stays in English. Same applies when tried
   with French language file.

 * I’m having the same problem with Czech file. It did work only with different 
   provider. Now it doesn’t work, no matter which wordpress version I’m using.

 * Same problem. I edited thousands of times de wp-config, all chmod correctly hundreds
   of times, deleting and creating again file and directory, but after upgrading
   to 2.0.1 the my language is ignored while before was OK.
