With the site I was working on, the only thing I needed to change was how WordPress was generating the date and time. (I kept the WordPress admin in English and published French content.) All I needed to do for this was update the locale file then make those minor edits to single.php. If your requirements are similar, that should be all you need to do—no database changes.

A couple of things come to mind, and forgive me if these seem too simplistic (sometimes it's the simple things that are forgotten): 1) Did the changed files get uploaded OK? Perhaps try deleting them from the server and uploading again? 2) Do you have caching enabled?

I hope that helps! If not, feel to post back with further detail.

Thanks for this info . . . I have had a similar problem in Spanish - but after I changed the locale.php data the blog stayed the same . . . does the updated/changed info/file need to be reloaded in a database too? - or is it really just a matter of editing correctly.

Many thanks if you can post a reply.
