I have install LAMP in my Ubuntu 12.04 but the language of phpmyadmin is German instead of English. So I want to change this language to English. Please tell me the right procedure to change language.

  • Your browser might be in German or configured to prefer websites in German.

  • How did you install phpMyAdmin? Using the upstream source or using the Ubuntu package? Can you select the language at the login screen? (I can using the Ubuntu package)

on the first page of phpMyAdmin, you should have a dropdown list named Sprache - Language in which you will be able to select English.

If not, maybe your phpMyAdmin is not installed with all languages built-in, then you should re-install with Synaptic or APT...

    Instead of using unsupported software from a third aprty's website, it is better to reinstall phpmyadmin package with synaptic or apt from terminal.

It works for me as follows:

In config.inc.php, change value of Lang to en

$cfg['Lang'] = 'en';

You need to insert $cfg['lang'] =''; in wamp/bin/apps/phpmyadmin..../config.inc.php.
