Are you serious? I don’t believe you are in the position to decide the rating terms on your own plug-in. If you can’t take an honest feedback then you should consider retiring. The plugin doesn’t support lossless formats and that is and will always be a substantial weakness, instead of attacking a rating response that states a fact you should do some work to improve the product. Hey, welcome to the real world.

Thanks. I some ways I managed to solve the issue a couple of days ago by using another plugin called Admin in English, I also added a plugin called WP Native Dashboard to offer other admin languages than English to potential clients. However, none managed to translate the WP admin 100% cause when I go “visit site” the top quick edit bar that remains on the top of the screen still carries the native language, both in interface text and the txt links in the menue, so far I’ve managed to live with that but was hoping for 100% language switch. Right now it’s more like 85%.

Thanks for the tip. I always end up ripping my hair out when it comes to localization of the blog language in WP, cause each time I localize with PoEdit and go trough the procedure of adding po/mo files to a site I always end up with some few words in English. Examples: “by:author name” – “comment: number” – “post comment” – and all the month names etc. These words never show in the translation process and they’re not coming from the theme, it’s WP blog language.

I ALWAYS want WP in English for myself but sometimes my clients that I design for needs the admin to be in other languages. When I produce websites for myself I also need them to be localized in Scandinavian languages, but at the same time retain the English WP admin. I use a plugin named Admin in English, that overrides everything I got going in regards to po/mo translations on the server and that is exactly want I want cause it seems almost impossible to localize a WP theme without having to cope with a WP admin language that is the SAME as the localized language. Whenever I changed the WLANG codes it messed up my localization site wide. I went crazy trying to achieve two different languages until I found that plugin. I was hoping with Native Dashboard” that I could do the same if I have clients from different countries, like other European countries. It looks like Native Dashboard may very well be the answer, I’m just depended on it to be up to date with WP versions to avoid having to look for older localization files. I guess I could always preform that task if I really needed it, but one always hope for swifter solutions.

Thanks, I appreciate that. The WP interface language has always been a big deal, don’t get why WP haven’t addressed these issues themselves. The plugins that solves these issues are most welcome.

Ok, so one could expect that the plugin will include more updated languages as time goes by. I guess the point in having the plugin is that it keeps track of the WP version developments, thus making it a dynamic tool. I understand from your explanation that it’s an open source project that relies on contributions from people willing to update the translations, it would be more practical if the languages (any update) were all accessible in any plugin version as mentioned in my earlier post. As you also confirm the language differences are not that big between the WP versions after all, so it wouldn’t hurt.

Ok, so the 8 languages that’s in the repository are the only ones that are currently valid for WP 3.7.1? But there’s not too much difference in the front-end language from the former WP version, shouldn’t the repository just generate the older translations instead of just the 8 that’s been translated to exact suit the new WP version txt? And then just alter those translation files when possible? I mean, it’s far better to have 90% than nothing after all.

Older version of mo/po files? I don’t get this. Versions? What does the localization files have to do with this? I thought the plugin held the translations for all the languages. How does the languages in the list have anything to do with any localization files? I’m looking to change the wp admin language. The 8 random languages that appears in the list has nothing to do with the localization of my site.

Hm, going back to older version of WP is not an option. Had so much troubles with fixing damages from the recent upgrade, it totally messed up my defaults and ruined a lot of tweaks. Anyways, a plugin should always validate with the latest WP version I think, going backwards is kinda… backwards.

Thanks for the tip anyway.

This plugin is not working very well, after download my language list is short and consist of only 8 languages, none of them useful to me.

I really appreciate your work Nikolay. It’s almost weird that WP haven’t included a function like this themselves as it really is helpful. Thank you for putting effort into solving a problem for a great number of people! I hope it will work for every future WP version. Again, thanks for sharing.
