# [Plugin: Multisite Language Switcher] Issues during setup

 * Here are some problems I encountered while installing the plugin (v0.9.5). FYI
   I was trying to add a French translation to my English site.
 * – I can’t find how to tell in which language a blog is. The settings screen only
   shows all blogs as “us-blog”s in the posts pages, and show “us” flags.
    – I tried
   to specify a custom URL for the French flag, but the plugin appended “/us.png”
   on the img=src attribute anyway. I had to set the URL to ‘[http://&#8230](http://&#8230);./
   fr.png#’ to make it work: while it worked on the French website, the English 
   one remained unchanged. – The French site doesn’t know the English one, despite
   having a similar configuration/widget layout/etc.
 * On the other hand I tried at first to install the plugin before to turn WordPress
   into a multisite. I since reinstalled the plugin several times (removed the files
   + all ‘%msls%’ entries from my db), but I always end with the same issues.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Since there’s not much in my sites yet I’ll try reinstalling everything from 
   scratch. Will update this thread then.
 * _**EDIT**: Everythings seems to work now. I think the main issue was that my 
   WordPress install didn’t allow to change the language for each site (I didn’t
   have a “Site language” option in the General settings)._
 * It would be nice however to be able to have in the MLS settings screen a reminder
   of the active language + some tips to know how change it. Even better, it would
   be awesome to be able to change the language from here, as I might want to have
   only an English setup of WordPress with its contents in various languages.

 * Hello,
 * I have the same problem, how did you make “Site language” option in the General
   settings appear please?

 * I had to install another language in WordPress to make it appear.
