Simple Admin Language Change

July 04, 2024

Simple Admin Language Change Plugin

Change your dashboard language quickly and easily from the admin bar as often as you need.

The lightweight plugin extends the default WordPress functionality (user settings in Profile) and pulls out the language selection to the admin bar so you can easily switch between them.
