Choose your preferred WordPress administration language without changing the language of the website frontend.

== Description ==

Admin Language Switcher allows each WordPress user to choose their preferred language for the WordPress administration area.

The website frontend keeps its normal site language. Each user can independently select the language they want to use in the WordPress dashboard.

== Features ==

* Choose your preferred WordPress admin language.
* Each user can have their own admin language.
* The website frontend language is not changed.
* Select which installed languages should be available in the admin bar.
* Install additional WordPress language packs directly from the settings page.
* Quickly switch languages from the WordPress admin bar.
* Language flags in the admin bar.
* Uses WordPress core locale functionality.

== How It Works ==

After activating the plugin, go to:

Settings → Admin Language Switcher

Select the languages you want to make available for the current user.

Installed languages can be selected immediately. Languages that are not installed can be downloaded from the settings page.

After selecting languages, use the language switcher in the WordPress admin bar to change your administration language.

The selected language is stored for the current WordPress user.
