Actually you don’t create wp-config.php, WP does that for you during the installation. You just have to edit it and add
define ('WPLANG', 'he_IL');

Hi and thanks for the replies.
I have a problem with all the explanations about everything in WordPress and I wonder if I’m the only one who thinks so.
First, I run the wp-admin install and I receive an error message telling me that I have a problem with wp-config file. It is odd to get an answer telling me that the installation deal with this file because it doesn’t in my case. Maybe it is because I installed the English version first, then I erased it and I try to reinstall the Hebrew version.
Second, each explanation based on hundreds of words which is impossible to me to understand. A line telling me to deal with .mo file, I enter the link and more hundreds of words.
If someone is kind enough to tell me:
1. Go to library X in c-panel
2. Look for file wp-config in Y file.
3. Open the wp-config in editor
4. Replace line 6 with: “abcdef”
5. Save the wp-config file in y library
Or:
1. Open the wp-config file in this link with editor.
2. Replace this line with this:xxx
3. Upload the wp-config file to c-panel/x library/y location.
Run the install
I hope that it is not too much trouble because I can’t find anything it what seems to me a very complicated aid system.
Thanks a lot,

The installation has to be run first, then WP will create a wp-config.php file. Then you just have to go to cPanel File Manager to add this line
define (‘WPLANG’, ‘he_IL’);
can be anywhere, it can be the first line.
Thanks StockPhotoGram,
I can’t run the installation because of the error message of the missing wp-config file.
I’ll address WordPress.
Thanks again,
Arye
I solved the problem:
I asked BlueHost to reset my site. In reply they sent me a short, very clear, very detailed mail of how to do it by myself. Step by step easy to follow.
I deleted the wp files, unistalled WordPress and reinstalled the English version. The wp-config file was there.
I deleted the wp files, uninstalled WordPress and reinstalled the Hebrew version. Everything was in place but the wp-config.
I renamed the wp files to arye-wp…, uninstalled the WordPress and reinstalled the English version.
I deleted the wp files (but the wp-config) renamed back to source the arye-wp… files, added the “he_il” to the proper line in the wp-config, ran the install and everything works.

Thanks for sharing. But that’s a strange way to do so, because it’s too much work just to create the wp-config.php file. Maybe it’s BlueHost problem.
Glad it’s solved.
You are right – problem was that I didn’t know what goes wrong. The right way is to install the Hebrew version, upload the wp-config fie and set it.

Ah, I see. Props for solving the issue yourself 🙂
