 * On [http://www.gino-leineweber.de](http://www.gino-leineweber.de) I use Polylang
   to maintain the site in English and in German. German is the default language.
 * I got following problem with my startpage: The translation of textdomain elements
   does not work there and I was not able to find a solution for this problem. On
   all other pages everything’s fine.

 * It seems that you have not set correctly the languages:
    For English, the locale
   is **en_US**, For German, it is **de_DE**. If you modify these, language files
   won’t load correctly. Just edit both languages and it should work correctly.
 * The issue may have occured if you tested xili-language and did not delete (using
   the red link) this plugin before installing Polylang.

 * Thanks for your reply!
 * Both in database and in wp-config.php the locale is set to de_DE.
 * When I leave my backend admin setting to “WordPress default”, I get a German 
   backend – but I get an English admin bar in frontend. When I opt for “German”
   in this setting, both the backend and the frontend admin elements are in English(
   while the option “English” leads to the expected result)!
 * I tested xili-Language, but installed Polylang before – I had it deactivated 
   when I tested xili. Xili is deleted, also the entry in the options table of my
   database.
 * Still I encounter my problem. 🙁 So what can I do?

 * Where did you look in database?
    Polylang does not care of what is in your wp-
   config.php, otherwise your site could not be multilingual.

 * I was almost sure of this 😉
 * As mentionned above you have to edit your languages. Go in Settings->Languages.
   There you see your two languages in the table. You will probably notice that 
   in the locale column, you have English and Deutsch instead of en_US and de_DE.
   Edit both languages to change this. Don’t forget to clik on save changes.

 * Oh, now I understood, finally! 🙂
 * Indeed, this was the problem – I edited the entries and now it works fine! Thank
   you very much!
