  I have set my blog language and interface language to English, but when I log out and view my blog as would someone else, the interface language seems to be in Portuguese. It says “Pagina Inicial” where it should say “home,” and “sobre” where it should say “about.” I don’t know how to fix this problem and even considered deleting my blog and starting fresh because of it.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  HI!

  The blog language is currently set to Português do Brasil here:

  If you change that, your site should update to the language specified!

  Thank you! It has corrected now to where it should say “home”, but still says “sobre” where it should say “about.” Any suggestions? Thanks again!

  Howdy!

  That “Home” link is automatically generated by WordPress, so the language change adjusted that. However, the “Sobre” link is for a page that was actually created with the title “Sobre.” The WordPress language settings do not translate your content like page titles or page bodies.

  To adjust it, edit the page here:

  https://avagabondvegan.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1&action=edit

  And change the title from “Sobre” to “About”

  Best,
