R3DF Multisite Language Indicator

Adds language indicators (flag, locale or language) beside the site title of sites to help identify similarly named sites in multilingual multisites.

<p>This plugin allows logged in users to select the language they would like to use when viewing the WordPress dashboard. It works with multisite and single site installs of WordPress.</p>
<h4>The plugin offers several options for language settings:</h4>
<ol>
<li>WordPress admin toolbar switcher – user can easily switch language on admin pages.</li>
<li>logon screen switcher – user can specify his/her preferred language during logon.</li>
<li>user profile setting – user can choose a language in their user profile.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Notes:</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin does NOT add languages to WordPress, you need to add them to use the switcher. (see below)</li>
<li>This plugin does NOT translate other plugins or themes, it manages the language setting for the WordPress site. (see below)</li>
<li>The admin toolbar switcher takes priority over the other options. If a language selection is made via the toolbar, it changes the user profile setting to the current language selection.</li>
<li>If enabled, the login switcher changes the user profile setting to requested language selection at login.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Installing WordPress languages:</h4>
<p>To add languages to WordPress ( since 4.1 ), simply select a new language from the ones available on the “Site Language” setting on the “General Settings” page.<br />
When you save your settings, the new language will be added to the site.  (and selected as the current language)</p>
<h4>Plugin and theme translations:</h4>
<p>It is up to plugin and theme authors to provide translations for their works. If you change the site language, and a plugin or theme is not translated (usually still showing English),<br />
you need to contact the authors of those works to get the needed translation files.</p>
<p>There is a French translation of this plugin included. It was mostly a test of the translation of the plugin.  It’s not a great translation, if you can improve it please let me know.</p>
