How to change the language for the front-end only?

Well, you actually do not need anything special to have two different languages in the back end and in the front end. I just tested it again on WP 5.1

  1. go to the settings and set the Site Language to the front end laguage, for example – German, then save.

  2. go to Users and then click edit on your administrator account. There you can set Language to English and save. That’s it. Your front end will use German as base and the back end will be in English.
