 * Hello,
    I have a small issue setting up a different language in the latest wordpress.
   I know the steps are simple, get the .mo file and put the in languages folder
   under wp-includes. Then just modify config file by adding ‘es_ES’ in the right
   place. When i did this on my blog which is hosted under hostgator it worked fine.
   But when I do the same on freshly installed wordpress on my own linux server,
   nothing changes. Is there anything on the server that is required for this to
   work? Thank you for your help.

 * Since the problem is related you your own server – we cannot provide help with
   it. Supporting your own server issues is beyond the scope of this forum. Sorry.
   Maybe a more specialized forum could help.
