## وەسف

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.

You can customize which languages appear in the dropdown using the `salc_languages`
filter. See the [Customization section](https://github.com/vyskoczilova/Simple-Admin-Language-Change/#customization)
for details.

You need to install the language first.

 1. Go to `Settings -> General`.
 2. Select the desired `site language` and hit `save changes`. The language gets installed.

I was looking for a plugin like Plugin Toggle but for languages, and this one was
exactly what I needed. It works perfectly for testing multilingual sites. Thank 
you, @vyskoczilova, for creating such a great plugin! 🙌

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

Great plugin. Work as expected. No ads, no push to buy a pro version (there is none
AFAIK).
