    Gracias Marcelo!

    I’ll add this to the next version of the plugin which will be released shortly.

    One thing I noticed is the translation of “Switch To” is quite long (“Cambiarse a este usuario”). Is there a shorter phrase which you could use instead?

    Hello John, I know it may look long, but it’s a clearer approach. There is no short/unique word to express “Switching” in spanish without risking to sound weird or confuse. I really was considering the following strings when translating the plugin:

    • “Cambiar a…”: it’s the literal for “Switch to…”. It’s the obvious option, but I wanted to be crystal clear. You can use it if you prefer to keep it short.
    • “Ingresar como…”: it’s like a “Login as…”. Not clear, not convinced.
    • “Usar como…”: it’s like a “Use site as…”. Not very proffessional.

    As you can see, I had to choose clarity rather than short text. But if you really need the shorter string, use the first one, “Cambiar a…”. If I repeat it lots of time in my mind, then it seems to be the better option haha.

    Anyway, all this it’s just a suggestion ??

    In that case I will go with your judgement and stick with “Cambiarse a este usuario” for clarity. The main reason in asking if there was a shorter possibility is so it doesn’t take up too much space on the “Users” screen, but it’s not a big problem.

    Muchas gracias!
