Translation Tools
Use any Locale, with or without Language Packs
With core Language Packs you can easily change the language of your WordPress install.
The Language Packs used to be provided only for 100% translated Locales.
To give teams with less contributors a better chance to get WordPress released into their Locale, since 22nd February 2021 the required translation status for core Language Packs to be built are as follows:
- The Front-end project needs to be translated at least 90%.
- The Administration project needs to be translated at least 75%.
- The Network Admin and Continent & Cities projects are not included in the threshold calculation.
If you need a Locale that has no Language Packs yet, this tool helps you by enabling ALL Locales on the list of the available languages.
Compatible with plugin Preferred Languages
The plugin Preferred Languages overrides the standard languages field for site and user languages.
All the features added by Translation Tools are available for Preferred Languages users.
