• language
• translation

• 1 Is there a reason for using non-standard locales? Can you use 'ar' for Arabic and 'fr_FR' for French? If you can I'll show you how to do it. – Frank P. Walentynowicz Commented Aug 16, 2015 at 17:01

1 Answer 1

Yes, rename your pt_AR.mo to ar.mo and pt_FR to fr_FR.mo.

In step one install but not activate yet the plugin Admin in English. Edit the plugin's php script. Find line with en_US string and replace this string with fr_FR. Save and activate the plugin. Now your Dashboard will be in French. In step two remove first three lines of your code from theme's functions.php and replace fourth one withload_theme_textdomain('responsive', get_template_directory().'/languages');. In final step go toRéglages -> Général` and select Arabic as your site's language. Now you should have your front end in Arabic and back end in French.
