I recently implemented the ‘Simple Admin Language Change’ plugin on my WordPress site, and I must say, it’s a game-changer for anyone managing a multilingual site. The ease of switching languages in the admin area, without affecting the frontend, is incredibly efficient. It seamlessly integrates with the existing WordPress setup, making the user experience for my team much smoother. As someone who has struggled with managing multiple languages on a single site, this plugin has simplified the process remarkably. It’s lightweight, unobtrusive, and does exactly what it promises without any unnecessary complexity. A must-have for WordPress site administrators handling multilingual content!

Exactly what I was looking for: no more poorly translated plugins admin, I can now switch to English to avoid this and also mismatched half backed translation. I also like VERY much the fact you did not try to reinvent the wheel and simply use a feature already in profile, but making it easy to use and convenient (top bar).
5 stars well deserved.

Above the plugin’s title on wordpress.org, it says: “This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress.”
—— I tested it, it works pretty well ——
it is compatible with Wordpress 6.3.1 – It works as expected!
it’s so useful
Thank you
