 * Hi guys,

   select a language do set, but after press save buttom, this back to english… 
   but pannel looks like in portuguese. Soo, maybe someone will ask: and whats the
   problem? In your panel showing your desired language… But no. I use woocommerce
   and in their status is language en_US, soo woocomerce working in english, but
   my wordpress working in portuguese. Most weird is in database show language in
   pt_BR.
 * And i tryed to reinstall… works at beginning, but after import pages and products,
   happen again.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Flanguage-doesnt-switch%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
