Title: Plugin uses wrong language Last modified: September 22, 2016 --- # Plugin uses wrong language * Resolved [fert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/felixo/) * (@felixo) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/) * Hi, I am using the Mailchimp Plugin on a German wordpress installation. Everything seems setup correctly but the plugin front-end is still in English. I wouldn’t mind except that all the labels for the form fields (email-address, name etc) are in English and I’d like to have everything consistently in German. As I understand this plugin is supposed to be translated to more than a dozen languages, indlucing German (de_DE). So how can I fix this?

You’re completely correct – the plugin itself has been translated to several languages. However, list fields such as “name” and ” address” will need to be manually translated in MailChimp. This MailChimp Knowledge Base guide explains the process, if you haven’t checked that out yet: [Translate Signup Forms and Emails](http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/signup-forms/translate-signup-forms-and-emails) * Once the form fields are translated in MailChimp and those changes have been saved, the plugin can be updated by returning to WordPress, navigating to the plugins section, and clicking “update” to sync the changes. * That should get things sorted, but please feel free to reply back here with what text, specifically, isn’t getting translated as intended and a link to your form if any translation issues persist. * Thanks! * Pearl * Thread Starter [fert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/felixo/) * (@felixo) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8221603) * Thanks. * By the way, the German translation you provide for some of the fields is wrong. Not as in “not really correct” but in fact stating the opposite of the original field. You might want to look into that. I am particularly referring to the opt-in confirmation email where it says that you won’t be subscribed if you don’t click on the link. The German version says you won’t be UNsubscribed. * [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/) * (@mcsupport) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8222081) * Hi fert, * It’s good to hear back. Thanks so much for alerting us to this – the opt in confirmation email is a MailChimp response email that is separate from the plugin, but we definitely want to ensure that all of that is accurate as well. Would you mind filling out the MailChimp feedback form and elaborating a bit about what specific lines are mistranslated in the opt in confirmation email? The MailChimp feedback form can be found here: [https://mailchimp.com/contact/feedback/](https://mailchimp.com/contact/feedback/) * Thanks! And feel free to write back here if you run into any other plugin-specific issues. * Pearl * [dubplatsa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dubplatsa/) * (@dubplatsa) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8224346) * I followed all steps and the problem continues – brazilian portuguese WordOress installation but the email adress field still in english (“endereço de email” is the correct). Can someone help me? * ⌊ex_01⌉⌊ex_01⌉ ⌊ex_02⌉ ⌊ex_03⌉ * [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/) * (@mcsupport) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8225474) * Hi dubplasta, * You’re totally correct that the “Email Address” field will require some additional steps to translate. Check out my reply to this forum post for step by step instructions on how to get that updated: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-text-on-widget/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/customize-text-on-widget/) Let us know if you have any other plugin related questions we can help out with in the future. * Cheers! * Pearl * [uepac](https://wordpress.org/support/users/uepac/) * (@uepac) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8233532) * Hi. * Immediately after registering the following message is displayed in English: * Success, you’ve been signed up! Please look for our confirmation email. * But I want to appear translated into Mexican Spanish that would be something like this: * Registro exitoso! Por favor, busca nuestro correo electrónico de confirmación. * how fix it? * [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/) * (@mcsupport) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-uses-wrong-language/#post-8238672) * Hey uepac, * Nice to hear from you! The signup success message is also something that can be altered by editing the plugin code. To do that, you’ll want to do the following: * 1) In WordPress, click plugins 2) Click “edit” under MailChimp 3) Adjust the success messages here: [http://screencast.com/t/I5nFDDAcpm](http://screencast.com/t/I5nFDDAcpm) 4) Navigate back to Plugins in WordPress, and click “Settings” under MailChimp. 5) Click the “Update List” option towards the top of that page. * That will allow you to customize the success message that is displayed. Let us know if you have any other plugin related questions. * Warmest Regards, * Pearl - This reply was modified 9 years, 8 months ago by [mcsupport](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcsupport/).
