I've finally had to switch my German blog to the EN wordpress release due to serious lack of memory (automatic update ceased to work a year ago, eventually wp-backup wouldn't send me database backups anymore).

Now I got "Leave a reply" in English where it was German before. How can I tell the theme to use the DE language file while the blog is switched to EN?

Anybody home in this forum?

are you using the 'define ('WPLANG', '');' in wp-config? or are you looking to just have the theme in German?

There are translation files, but I believe they all trigger off the WPLANG setting. Of course you could always edit the theme and change the 'leave a Reply' (see comments.php and comments-paged.php)

are you looking to just have the theme in German?

Exactly. The german Wordpress version uses significantly more memory and is slower than the standard/EN version and unfortunately I can't afford that any longer.

Seems like I'll just have to make those changes manually and adopt Themeframe as soon as it finally hits gold master status.
