Preferred Languages

Wopisanje

Thanks to language packs it’s easier than ever before to change the main language of your site.
However, in some cases a single locale is not enough. When WordPress can’t find a translation for the active locale, it falls back to the original English strings.
That’s a poor user experience for many non-English speakers.

This feature project aims to change that by letting users choose multiple languages for displaying WordPress in.
That way you can set some sort of „fallback chain“ where WordPress tries to load translations in your preferred order.

Prošu pomhajće nam, tutón tykač testować a zdźělće nam, hač něšto njefunguje.

Keyboard Shortcuts

  • Arrow Up: Move selected locale one position up.
  • Arrow Down: Move selected locale one position down.
  • Home: Select first locale in the list.
  • End: Select last locale in the list.
  • Backspace/Delete: remove the selected locale from the list.
  • Alt+A: Add the current locale from the dropdown to the list.

Note: the Preferred Languages UI needs to be focused in order for the keyboard shortcuts to work.

Merging Translations

Previously, only the first available translation for a given locale and domain will be loaded.
However, when translations are incomplete, some strings might still be displayed in English.
That’s a poor user experience as well.

To prevent this, Preferred Languages now automatically merges all incomplete translations in the list.

the preferred_languages_merge_translations filter can be used to opt out of this behavior.
It provides three parameters:

  1. $merge – Whether translations should be merged. Defaults to true.
  2. $domain – The text domain
  3. $current_locale – The current locale.

Preferred Languages is a well-designed and highly practical plugin for multilingual WordPress environments. It allows users to set multiple language preferences and creates a smart fallback system when translations are incomplete. The plugin improves the overall user experience by reducing untranslated content and seamlessly merging available language packs. Easy to configure, lightweight, and a valuable addition for websites targeting international audiences.

I honestly think that this should be a core feature of WP. The only thing wrong I notice is that when you are looking at the front end… The language of the admin bar changes into the site language but that’s the only issue I have with this plugin at the time of writing. For the rest, it’s a dream plugin.
