Language Errors in WAMP/MySQL

Many users have encountered an issue where errors in WAMP/MySQL are not displayed in the correct language. This problem persists even after multiple reinstallations of WAMP and searching numerous resources.

To resolve this issue, it is necessary to modify the my.ini file.

Modifying the my.ini File

Locate the line:

# Change your locale here !
lc-messages=fr_FR

in the my.ini file.

Replace the language code with your desired language. For example:

lc-messages=en_GB

for English (Great Britain) or:

lc-messages=en_US

for English (United States).

Restarting MySQL

1. Left-click on the WAMP manager icon.
2. Select "MySQL".
3. Go to "Service".
4. Click on "Restart Service".

Additional Information

The default language in WAMPServer is French because it is a French product. This default setting can be easily modified in the my.ini file.

Finding the my.ini File

To access the my.ini file, navigate through the WAMP manager menus:

1. Left-click on the WAMP manager icon.
2. Select "MySQL".
3. Click on "my.ini".

This will open the my.ini file in your preferred editor.
