I think one of the main reasons that make WordPress a very popular content management system is its ease of use and deployment. It’s relatively very easy, for example, to use languages other than English for a WordPress-powered website.
However, time and again I found that many users are not taking advantage of this capability, even when the theme they’re using fully supports their native language.
This video tutorial will show you how to get your WordPress website or blog to be displayed in the language that you want.

Excellent tutorial and a huge time saver for me. I am also trying to find out if there is a way to be able to switch languages inside WordPress admin area. I am English and my clients are Arabic speaking so being able to keep the backend in English but allow for my clients to login and use WordPress in Arabic would be a huge help. Any one know of a solution?
