WordPress is an amazing CMS with many variations. Do you know that you can also install WordPress in other languages?
I have recently encountered with a WordPress website with the German language installation. It’s surprising to know that WordPress supports many languages.
There are many ways using which, you can install it in different languages. In this tutorial, you will learn about all the ways to install WordPress in other languages.
Let Me Provide You The Different Methods To Install WordPress In Other Languages.
As you, all know that you can download the zip file of WordPress from their website. Most of the users are using it in English.
But if you want to use it any other language then you can. Let me provide you the guide.
Method 1:- When you download the zip file of WordPress, search the file of the language you want. If you want to install WordPress in French then search for the French version of WordPress.
The same goes for all the other languages like German, Spanish, Greek, Finnish etc.
After downloading the file, you can directly upload it to the cPanel of your web hosting where the content of your website is present.
You can use either an FTP account with the Filezilla or directly login to the cPanel.
Method 2:- When you install WordPress using the single click option after buying the Web hosting then you will notice an option to choose the language.
Just choose your language from there and install WordPress in other languages. This is one of the most common ways which can be used.
Method 3:- As you all know, you can change the language of WordPress from your admin area only. Just go to settings>>general.
Scroll down and you will notice an option to select the “site language“. You can choose the language of your choice from here.
Method 4:- If you know about the software named “Softaculous” then you would be aware of the WordPress installation using it.
While installing WordPress using this software, you will have the option to choose the language. Just like you do while installing using the single click option.
People speak different languages across the world and they want to set up their website in their own language.
And people have the opportunity to install WordPress in other languages just with some common ways. It’s always good to see something different.
WordPress CMS gives you freedom to use it in any language. Though, if you want to use multilingual WordPress then you can use any plugin but if you want to install it in any one language different than English then you can follow the methods mentioned above.
Isn’t that surprising To Know That You can Install WordPress In other Languages Too?
WordPress comes with many surprises and this is one of them. There are many bloggers who are blogging in different languages.
People from France may go with the French or similar language. Germany’s people may consider German to write on their blog.
The choice is yours, you can install WordPress in any language which is included in the WordPress repository.

Hey bro,
In the past few weeks, I installed WP for 2 of my French clients. It was easy to just select the French language from the options list as you pointed out here.
Installing from cPanel makes things quite easy as you indicated.
An eye-opening post bro.
