## Popis

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.

I honestly think that this should be a core feature of WP. 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.

It works great right out of the box, but is very easy to customize to suit your 
needs. my current use-case: i use this plugin to power up my page – which has visitors
from several european Countries. I’m using this plugin to manage a small job-site:
And i have to say: I love this plugin. And if it comes to support: it is so awesome
to see that all is documented so well and good: You can do so much with this plugin:

I think this should be in Core for websites with several possible languages. 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.)

An indispensable plugin for sites that use a language with formal/non-formal variant.
This should become a WordPress core functionality!
