You’re seeing something like this, correct:

That’s because you don’t have the language files for WordPress in the wp-content/languages folder, but you do have the language file for Graphene in the theme’s languages folder.

To make your site fully multilingual, you need to have at least two sets of language files, one for WordPress core and another for the theme. You can download the language files for WordPress core by downloading the language-specific WordPress package, and then upload those language files to the folder indicated above.

See this page for language-specific WordPress packages:

https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language

I said at least two sets because your plugins may need translation too, though the translation files for plugins (if they are available) are typically already included and set up along with the plugins, just like it is with themes.

Thanks for that, I have just had a look and thewp-content/languages is not in there, do I create that folder, and copy in the language files? or do I have to actually install the other language? if so how do I do this without overwriting my site?

Thanks 🙂

Not to worry, I have installed it in that folder and made it. But now how do I get the language bar to appear in the theme where you can select it? Thanks.

You really gotta ease up on the question marks there.

Do you have any posts in French? The Nederlands language is working correctly. If you have posts/pages in French already, try going to WP Admin > Settings > Permalink and resave the setting.

Sorry for all the question marks.

I have solved the issue, but my problem now is I am trying to move the language selection from the menu to the top of the page (where the fb logo is) but it does not move when I select it to be in the top header? Thanks for the help 🙂

Use the language switcher widget, and place it in one of Graphene’s action hooks widget areas.

I have tried that but it still appears below the fb icon and almost as though it is in the header image?

graphene_container_before

graphene_before_feed_icon

graphene_social_profiles

graphene_top_search

graphene_top_bar

graphene_header

graphene_nav_search

graphene_header_menu

graphene_top_menu

graphene_before_content

graphene_before_content-main

graphene_top_content

Which one of these would be the same as the facebook icon, and next to it?

Try using graphene_social_profiles or graphene_top_bar. You’ll probably need some CSS adjustments afterwards to position it exactly.
