<p><strong>Backend Localization is deprecated and will be removed from the plugin directory on September 2, 2023, 14 years after its first release. With WordPress version 4.7, released in December 2016, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/11/07/user-admin-languages-and-locale-switching-in-4-7/#content" rel="nofollow ugc">the main purpose of this plugin</a> was integrated into core. With WordPress version 5.9, released in February 2022, <a href="https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/12/20/introducing-new-language-switcher-on-the-login-screen-in-wp-5-9/#content" rel="nofollow ugc">the only useful missing feature</a> was also integrated into core.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Thanks to everyone who used the plugin, gave constructive feedback, rated it and send me messages on how it helped them with their sites. This was my second WordPress plugin, and it’s surprising still has 2000+ active installations. If you see this message, you are one of them. But now feel free to remove it from your site. You can find my other plugins <a href="https://profiles.wordpress.org/kau-boy/#content-plugins" rel="nofollow ugc">on my WordPress profile page</a>.</strong></p>
<p>This plugin enables you to run your blog in a different language than the backend of your blog. So you can serve your blog using e.g. German as the default language for the users, but keep English as the language for the administration.<br />
You can choose the language you want to use from all installed language files or you can install additional languages.</p>

Backend Localization

Fantastic plugin if you need to deal with websites in various languages, but want to keep the backend in your preferred language. I can highly recommend this plugin.



Works great

Although WordPress 4.7 introduces the user language feature, this plugin is still tremendously helpful in my customer support job when I have to log in on sites running WordPress in an older version than 4.7. 

One feature that the WP 4.7 core user language doesn’t provide is to pick your language upon login—which makes this plugin even more helpful in customer support, since navigating for example an RTL back-end to find the profile page can be quite time-consuming when you're not used to it. (I assume the same is true for LTR for other people.)

All in all, this plugin is a huge win. I wouldn’t want to miss it in my daily job!

Still tremendously helpful

<p>This plugin is an add-on to the FeedWordPress RSS content syndication plugin.</p>
<p>You need to have FeedWordPress installed and configured for content syndication.</p>
<h4>Fetch images locally as attachments</h4>
<p>If there are images in the syndicated content, they will be fetched as local attachments.</p>
<h4>Automatically resolve redirected target URLs</h4>
<p>Feed entries that point to 301 or 302 redirected URLs will be resolved and replaced with the final target URI.<br />
This way you always get a link to the original source of the syndicated content instead of a link to some in-between redirection script.</p>
<h4>Normalize content layout</h4>
<p>The content of syndicated posts will be normalized: HTML tags will be removed, duplication of the title will be removed,<br />
images will be processed to be moved at beginning of content block.</p>
<p>White space and line breaks at beginning and end of content will be removed.</p>
<p>Includes specific targeted filters for content from Google News feeds, Yahoo News feeds and Wikio aggregated feeds.</p>
<h4>Active support</h4>
