JSM User Locale Selector

Description

Add a user locale drop-down menu item in the WordPress admin back-end admin and front-end toolbar menus.

Perfect for anyone that needs to switch languages quickly and easily – allows logged-in users to change their preferred locale / language setting right from the toolbar menu (instead of having to update their WordPress user profile page).

The default WordPress behavior is to apply the user locale preference to the admin back-end only – this plugin extends the user locale / language preference to the front-end webpage as well.

There are no plugin settings – simply install and activate the plugin.

Do you use the Polylang plugin?

If the Polylang plugin is active, the user locale menu will automatically use the correct Polylang language URLs for the current webpage.

Language setting in user profile is missing in WordPress 5.2, this plugin enables this function. Great job!

A simple but effective plugin. The convenience of a quick admin language switcher saves precious seconds. Thanks.

This is the plugin I was looking for and was hard to find. It enables to get the front language according to the language specified in user profile. Thanks again for this great plugin. I hope you will keep it updated.

Really useful

Hi, I think this plugin is really useful, stable and reliable. I’ve been recommending it in the BuddyPress forum and also now in my own translation helper plugin which I designed to work with this: [link removed] So excellent, 5 stars.
