    Changing the language is quite easy. You can read the instructions to do so here.
    In short here are the required steps.
    1. get the .mo file of your desired language at the mo file repository.
    2. Upload the file to the folder “/wp-content/languages” (if not existent, create one).
    3. Open your wp-config.php file and edit the line: define(‘WPLANG’, ‘xx_XX’); (whereas xx_XX stands for your country code).
    4. done

    best regards, Mario
