Title: Preferred Languages Author: Pascal Birchler Published: 2 Ottobre 2017 Last modified: 18 Agosto 2026 --- Ricerca i plugin ![](https://ps.w.org/preferred-languages/assets/icon.svg?rev=3039183) # Preferred Languages Di [Pascal Birchler](https://profiles.wordpress.org/swissspidy/) [Scarica](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/preferred-languages.2.4.2.zip) * [Dettagli](https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/preferred-languages/#description) * [Recensioni](https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/preferred-languages/#reviews) * [Sviluppo](https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/preferred-languages/#developers) [Supporto](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/preferred-languages/) ## Descrizione 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. Please help us test this plugin and let us know if something is not working as you think it should. **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. #### Get Involved Active development is taking place on [GitHub](https://github.com/swissspidy/preferred-languages).

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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6b2aafcc5499e6eef730bac9ef038ece9726c143ff1d61a0dc020b184fe9e0a2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[awesome-plugin: from me 5 stars (i would give even more if it would be possible)](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-from-me-5-stars-i-would-give-even-more-if-it-would-be-possible/)󠁿 [tangermaroc](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tangermaroc/) 20 Marzo 2021 a very cool plugin. this is a truely great plugin, You can use it for many purposes.

I like it very much! Specially I appreciate that each user can also choose languages from the selected languages. (I am developing a translation plugin for my own needs to use Google Translate to translate posts/pages and complement it.)
