Cannot change interface language
-
I think there is a bug in the interface language setting. I accessed account settings to change interface language, clicked on english, clicked save. However, it reverts back to Japanese. I tried logging out, I tried closing my safari.
Do I need to restart my laptop or clear my cache/cookies everytime I change interface language? I will be working with Japanese contributors to my site and I don’t see a reason why I need to spend so much time, or clear all the saved cookies that I do need, just to change interface language. Since I can’t ask wordpress (probably because I don’t pay..), are there anybody else experiencing this bug and is there an easy way to work around it?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You set the interface language for a wordpress.COM hosted blog here
Dashboard > Settings > General

The link you’ve provided is for the blog’s language setting, not the interface setting. FYI, the interface setting is found in User Profile > Account Setting.

The link to the General page can also be used to chnage the inerface language. Scroll down to:
Language this blog is primarily written in.
You can also modify the interface language in your profile. -
Rats! I’m sorry about the typos above. I have a baby on my knee. :)

To clarify, does clearing cache and cookies solve this for you so you can change languages? Please let me know.
I would be happy to try logging in as you and adjusting the interface language, if you don’t mind, to see if I can duplicate the problem. I understand you’ll be switching back and forth, so I’ll be looking to solve the underlying issue rather than simply change the language for you.
Also, just as a suggestion, you might consider creating another user and keeping that user in Japanese and the other in English, then keeping them both logged in through different browser profiles (such as the “People” featured offered in Chrome.) That way you can use both at the same time to compare them side by side.
