Simple Admin Language Change

Change the backend language to suit your needs. Do you have WordPress documentation in English, and the WordPress installation in French, Danish, and other languages? No problem.

simple admin user change — *Example of changing language and adding a new language (French)*

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.

Do you need customisation?

Modifications that will enhance the plugin development and help other users I offer for “adoption”. You pay half the development cost and I’ll deliver the other half for free.

If the modifications are only of limited use, are only for your usage, or do not match my idea of the plugin’s direction, they are charged at full price.
