## Wopisanje

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.

### I want to switch to a different language

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.
 3. Change the `site language` back to the old value.
 4. Now you can switch in the dropdown.

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).

## Protokol změnow

#### 2.1.1 (2026-08-04)

 * Fix admin bar language switch being blocked by ModSecurity (OWASP CRS rule 920470)
   due to a malformed `Content-Type` header. The trailing semicolon in `application/
   x-www-form-urlencoded;` was rejected as an illegal media-type ([support topic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ajax-blocked-by-modsecurity-malformed-content-type-hea/)).
 * Confirm compatibility with WordPress 7.0.

#### 2.1.0 (2026-03-18)

 * Add `salc_languages` filter to allow developers to customize which languages 
   are displayed in the admin bar dropdown. See the [Customization section](https://github.com/vyskoczilova/Simple-Admin-Language-Change/#customization)
   for details.

#### 2.0.5 (2024-10-31)

 * Fix PHP 8.2 deprecation notice on mb_convert_encoding.

#### 2.0.4 (2021-07-27)

 * Lower the permissions check – anybody with „read“ permissions (e.g., subscriber)
   can change their locale with the dropdown when logged into the admin.
 * Hide the language switcher on the front end – the top admin bar is affected by
   site language, not the user’s choice (opened [trac ticket](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/53794)
   for that)

#### 2.0.3 (2021-05-08)

 * Replace textdomain `kbnt-salc` with `simple-admin-language-change` to make it
   work with GlotPress ([more info](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-domain-issue-30/))

#### 2.0.2 (2021-05-03)

 * Fix security issues
    - Check for the empty nonce.
    - Escape translations.

#### 2.0.1 (2021-05-03)

 * Fix security issues (thanks @ErwanLR from WPScan for reporting!)
    - Check for the empty nonce.
    - Check for user permission within ajax request.
    - Retrieve current user ID within the request.
 * Make error messages translatable.

#### 2.0.0 (2021-05-02)

 * Drop the old functionality replaced by an integrated solution since WordPress
   4.7
 * Add a simple select box into the admin bar instead.

#### 1.0.2 (2018-02-25)

 * Fix: enable localization

#### 1.0.1 (2018-02-18)

 * Fix: PHP 7 deprecated methods – compatibility ([#1](https://github.com/vyskoczilova/Simple-Admin-Language-Change/issues/1))

#### 1.0.0 (2016-10-06)

 * Initial version
