Force Update Translations

Just suggest translations to your language on translate.wordpress.org but not always need to wait for approval.

One-click fix!

Very useful

When I translate plugins or themes I need to see partial translations to check I'm doing right. Exporting .mo files was boring me... just when I found this plugin!
Very useful. Thank you for developing it.

Essential for WP translators!

Bad description of the features in the readme: no possibility to import translations for themes.
Bad support.

False advertisement

I am so glad to find this plugin. We have international users for our plugin that help out by submitting translations. The problem is, there is no way for them to use the translations until it goes through a formal approval process.

This is a wonderful solution, we can point our users to this plugin so they can use the translations right away.

Thanks so much for making this!

Amazing

Oh, this is an awesome plugin so I fully localize this plugin's UI and page for zh_TW.

Awesome plugin

<p>This plugin gives you the ability to run the site in a language (Arabic for example) and use the admin panel in another (like English).</p>
<p>Just go to Settings » General and choose your language.</p>


Admin Locale

This plugin allows you to change the language of the admin panel without changing the whole site language.
