4,506 PointsAfter adding localisation files to WP 3.8.1, update reminder in the backend shows new update 3.8.1
I am running Wordpress locally for a while. Just building a project and trying things out. From the start on i've used the english version ( standing at version 3.8.1 at the moment). When i wanted to install the german localization files i've used the mo files found here:
http://wpde.org/download/sprachdateien/ http://wpde.org/files/2012/05/de_DE.zip
after copying the *.mo files into the wp-content languages folder and acitivating de_DE within the wp-config the dashboard shows that there is an update to wordpress to version 3.8.1 - actually the version i am already running since january. is the reason to that behaviour due to the fact that the mo files are from mid december 2013 and the 3.8.1 install is dated january 2014? does it mean i could savely update over the existing 3.8.1 again with 3.8.1? best regards ralf

4,506 Pointsok figured things out. you have various ways to proceed:
1) just add your desired country code to the wp-config.php (no mo and po files in the languages folder needed) and as soon as you login to the dashboard wp shows you an update even if you already running the same version it offers. but wp will add the needed mo and po files for your country code.
2) you've added mo and po files manually but they are from a previous version and you added the country code to teh wp-config.php. the dashboard will show you the same update alert like under my point 1. only difference the existing files mo and po files will be updated.
3) download the recent localized wp version and copy the mo and po files from the languages folder to your own and add the country code in the appropriate wp-config-php. the dashboard won't show you any update reminder anymore.
That's it ;)
