  Hello everyone,

  I cannot change the default language of my website to french, resulting in woocommerce pages being in English, when all the rest of the website is in french.

  I tried different strategies found in forums, like using loco plugin, uploading a .mo french file to wp-content, but nothing works.

  Anyone has had the same problem?

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hi @haukijulie,

  We can’t help directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting. As a result, we don’t have the ability to take a closer look at your site.

  Instead your host uses the open-source variant of the WordPress platform which functions differently than what we offer here on WordPress.com. The good news though is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/

  If you’re looking to change your site’s default language, you can do that by going to Settings → General → Site Language

  I hope that points you in the right direction!
