Hi @alexio,
I tried installing fresh WP in Greek and running a File Scan in Defender but it didn’t show any reports for the core files.
Could you share the reports that you are seeing in File Scan and a screenshot of how it looks on your end?
Cheers,

Hi Predrag,
Here are some screenshots:
My WordPress language: http://snap.ashampoo.com/uploads/2020-04-29/10lqYdo5RHroAd0blQbuIb2ojvioHh4dGiTaLC67KOmlsLm76NsGOoUXE7hMfDqL.png

There was another file that had the commented code in Greek but i clicked on resolve and now i cannot find which file it was.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi @alexio
I hope you’re well today!
To install WordPress in your language, you can took two ways: you can either use a default installation package (which is in English) and select language in installer or you can download localized installation package.
The end result is the same but those packages are slightly different than the default one. Unfortunately, the are actually also different comparing one localized package to another, which makes it a bit more complicated.
I suppose that my colleague used the first method (selected language in installer) when testing it and that’s why Defender didn’t report those files. But you are right – I have also checked and I see that it’s already been reported recently to our Defender developers and they’ve put it on bug list – to be fixed in future.
As for now, the “workaround” would be to set those files to be ignored but in future it should be fixed on plugin level.
Best regards,
Adam
