Localization ignores user profile language setting

    Dear developer(s),

    Today I noticed that the Wordfence (7.10.3) administrative back end presents itself in the site’s default language (Spanish) in stead of the user’s profile language setting (English US). I consider this a bug. I.m.h.o. the user’s choice should receive higher priority than the WordPress default. What I mean, the user language setting is there for that reason. WordPress itself respects it inside /wp-admin. Only for consistency sake I expect the same from plugins.

    Could this be fixed in future versions? Thank you for your understanding.

    Hi @erniecom, thank-you for your request.

    I have made a submission to our team regarding this. As you may know, our requests are always viewed and discussed internally for possible future development work when appropriate. I will leave the topic open for now in case I receive futher information in the coming days.

    Thanks,
    Peter.

    I am now marking this as “resolved” because once a report has been logged internally, we’re unable to regularly update the forums with its status. Our development team will consider the point raised. Any further information on its possible inclusion in a future release will appear in the changelog when new versions of the plugin are released.

    Peter.

    Just adding a +1 to this. I’m a developer on a site where I don’t speak the site’s default (visitor-facing) language but I have my profile language set to English. WordPress and all the other plugins I have installed use the language I have set on my profile, but Wordfence uses the site language.
