Setting PHPMyAdmin Language [closed]

At the first site is a dropdown field to select the language of phpmyadmin.

In the config.inc.php you can set:

$cfg['Lang'] = '';

More details you can find in the documentation: http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/

In config.inc.php in the top-level directory, set

$cfg['DefaultLang'] = 'en-utf-8'; // Language if no other language is recognized
// or
$cfg['Lang'] = 'en-utf-8'; // Force this language for all users

If Lang isn't set, you should be able to select the language in the initial welcome screen, and the language your browser prefers should be preselected there.

sounds like you downloaded the german xampp package instead of the english xampp package (yes, it's another download-link) where the language is set according to the package you loaded. to change the language afterwards, simply edit the config.inc.php and set:

$cfg['Lang'] = 'en-utf-8';
