I have a problem with my wordpress site. I got to work on the school’s website and I can’t change the language, I have the option for the site’s language only English, and that’s a big problem for me since the site must be in Cyrillic. Has anyone had a similar problem and does anyone know how to fix it.
Cyrillic is not a language but a writing system that is used by different languages. Select the one you want to use here. The backend will then be displayed in this language. You can determine what is displayed in the frontend yourself.
My problem is that I only have the English language available on the list in the settings. Unfortunately, I did not do the installation of WordPress, I got such a WordPress site installed. I know how to change the language in the settings, usually there is a list of all available languages. In this case, I only have English available, and the site should be in Serbian in Cyrillic. So I am interested in whether there is a possibility to somehow manually add the Serbian language to the site. My problem is that about 500 articles have already been entered on the site. And if possible, I wouldn’t want to have to do a new installation of WordPress.
I checked the source code. You may lack the authorization to install languages. In this case, these are not visible.
If you have the Administrator role yourself, that would of course be strange. In this case, I would guess that the authorizations in your installation have been changed. This can be caused by plugins that handle them incorrectly.
One possible solution could be the plugin https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/user-role-editor/. There you could check your role with regard to the permissions and also adjust them. The administrator role is not immediately visible in their interface. You first have to activate it in the settings.
If that doesn’t help either, you can also use the same plugin to reset the permissions to WordPress default (as with a new installation). You can find the option for this in the plugin settings. Attention: this really resets all permissions. It may make sense to deactivate and reactivate all plugins afterwards so that they can add their permissions again.
I think it always makes sense to create a backup beforehand.
