 * Hey,
    I’m trying to change the comment section text to my language. I changed
   my language in wp-config: `define('WPLANG', 'he_IL');` But the comment section
   is still in English and not in Hebrew. I have the he_IL files (.mo and .po) in
   the correct folder. What can i do?

 * Thank you for your answer!
    I downloaded a Hebrew board and the comment form 
   changed to Hebrew . How can I stay with English board and change the comment 
   form the Hebrew? Can I select what .mo file the plugin read? or can I translate
   by my self the English .mo file that the plugin uses now?

 * I’m sorry, what do you mean by downloaded a Hebrew board?
 * Can you send me a link to your site so I can see what’s in action?

 * I’m sorry I can’t. It’s running on my localhost.
    What I mean is that: [http://he.wordpress.org/](http://he.wordpress.org/)

 * I installed the Hebrew version of WordPress and everything is appearing in Hebrew
   for me, including the comments. [https://cloudup.com/c-_Z79Ce9rj](https://cloudup.com/c-_Z79Ce9rj)
 * The elements outside of the form would be translated, typically, by your theme.
   Jetpack should be using the `define('WPLANG', 'he_IL');` line.
 * Can you update to the latest version (3.0.1) and check? With a new major version,
   the translations would have been updated.
 * Cheers.

 * Hey,
    Just upgraded to 3.0.1, still in English- [http://i.imgur.com/TYcMlEw.png](http://i.imgur.com/TYcMlEw.png)

 * Howdy,
 * It looks like that particular string hasn’t been translated into Hebrew yet. 
   You can contribute a translation by logging into your WordPress.com account at
   [http://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/he/default?filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=84518](http://translate.wordpress.com/projects/wpcom/he/default?filters%5Boriginal_id%5D=84518)
 * If you’d be so willing, please contribute a translation and let me know when 
   you’ve done so.
 * Cheers!

 * Ah, it looks like the URL was stripped a bit from the forums parser. Here’s a
   link that’ll take you directly to the right translation: [http://bk9.us/xo](http://bk9.us/xo)

 * I know it’s a bit old, but if someone run in to this post and want to change 
   the language, you can try what iv’e done-
    Edit the Jetpack “comments.php” file(
   locate at /wp-content/plugins/jetpack/modules/comments/comments.php), and grep
   that line: `'lang' => get_bloginfo( 'language' ),` Replace it with: `'lang' =
   > he_IL,` Of course “he_IL” is my lang and you can select whatever your lang 
   is. Pay attention you don’t forget the comma at the end of the line!

 * Thanks eladleev. I have to say my standard note that editing plugin files isn’t
   recommended since each upgrade will fully replace those files and your changes.
 * That is an interesting solution which suggests `get_bloginfo( 'language' )` isn’t
   outputting what it should be. I’m going to look into it more.
 * Cheers!
