Is the backend of a self-built foreign trade website in Chinese? Can the theme be upgraded?

Friends who are preparing tobuild their own foreign trade websiteoften consult Naiba. Since foreign trade websites are mostly in English, and they are not very accustomed to an English website backend, can the backend of a WordPress-built website be set to Chinese? Is the theme also in Chinese? Can the theme be upgraded? Below are the answers in order.

Question 1: Is the backend of a self-built foreign trade website in Chinese?

Answer: WordPress is a multilingual website building program. You can choose the website language during the installation process. If you choose English during installation, the website backend will be in English. However, you can change the settings so that the frontend is in English and the backend is in Chinese. The specific method is as follows:

1. 2 Plugins for Displaying English on the WordPress Frontend and Chinese in the Admin Dashboard
2. After logging into the website, click on your nickname in the upper right corner and select 'Edit My Profile'. Then set the language to Chinese. This way, the frontend and backend will be in Chinese for you, but will remain in English for others.

Question 2: Are the WordPress theme options in Chinese?

Answer: This depends on which theme you use. For example, the Astra theme backend is in Chinese, but its accompanying plugins are in English. Most foreign themes do not include Chinese language support but provide language files, allowing you to localize them into Chinese yourself.

Question 3: Can the theme be upgraded or changed? Will it affect the website content?

Answer: The theme can be upgraded and replaced without affecting the articles, pages, and products already published on your website. If you are upgrading the same theme, there is basically no impact. If you are replacing the theme, it will only affect the website's appearance and some detailed settings of your previous theme.
