<p><strong>Disclaimer: This plugin was merged into WordPress Core. It is not relevant anymore to install it. I plan to ask for a removal from the repo by the end of the year.</strong></p>
<p>The intent of this plugin is to provide a way to ensure any language change in the content of a page is indicated to assistive technologies. This feature is not available by default in the block editor so it is difficult to make a website fully compliant to WCAG guidelines using the block editor for now.</p>
<p>We clearly hope this feature will be natively implemented in the block editor in middle term, because this very simple feature is really needed to help people to create accessible websites. But in short terms, we need a solution and this plugin is a solution you may want to use to make your website compliant to accessibility guidelines 🙂</p>
<p>For more context: this plugin helps you to make your website compliant to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) success criterion 3.1.2: “Language of Parts”. The purpose of this success Criterion is to ensure that user agents can correctly present content written in multiple languages.</p>
<p>As per Web Content Accessibility Guidelines:</p>
<p>This makes it possible for user agents and assistive technologies to present content according to the presentation and pronunciation rules for that language. This applies to graphical browsers as well as screen readers, braille displays, and other voice browsers.</p>
<p>Both assistive technologies and conventional user agents can render text more accurately if the language of each passage of text is identified. Screen readers can use the pronunciation rules of the language of the text. Visual browsers can display characters and scripts in appropriate ways.</p>
<p>This is especially important when switching between languages that read from left to right and languages that read from right to left, or when text is rendered in a language that uses a different alphabet. Users with disabilities who know all the languages used in the Web page will be better able to understand the content when each passage is rendered appropriately.</p>

<p>Quick Localisation allows to hook on <code>gettext</code>, <code>gettext_with_context</code>, <code>ngettext</code>, and <code>ngettext_with_context</code> so that one can easily tweak WordPress translations generated by functions <code>__</code>, <code>_e</code>, <code>_ex</code>, <code>_n</code>, <code>_nx</code>, <code>_x</code>, <code>translate</code>, and <code>translate_with_gettext_context</code>.</p>
<p>For installation please see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/installation/" rel="ugc">corresponding section</a>. It is as trivial as copying the plugin folder in your WordPress.</p>
<p>To get the flavour of what the plugin actually does, see the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-localization/screenshots/" rel="ugc">screen shots</a>.</p>
<p>Once installed and activated, the plugin back-end will be accessible via a separate menu in the admin panel (WP Admin -> Quick Localisation).</p>
<p>N.B. by all means this plugin is not a replacement of the standard <a href="http://many.at/wordpress-localisation/translating-wordpress/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress localisation framework</a>. In fact, webmasters are advised to use it as a long-term solution.</p>
<p>However Quick Localisation comes very handy when quick patches or unconventional translations are required.</p>
<p>The plugin offers the following options.</p>
<h4>Editing Localisation Table</h4>
<ul>
<li>Old text</li>
<li>New text (optional; empty values will remove the localisation subject)</li>
<li>Text domain (allows to target specific plugin or theme “domains”; if set to <code>_ALL_</code> – it will be applied to all matching text)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Export</h4>
<ul>
<li>Allows exporting saved localisation for easy copy-pasting between the sites and backups.</li>
<li>This feature also comes handy later when generating actual <code>.PO</code> files.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Import</h4>
<ul>
<li>It is possible to import previously saved localisations or just copy them from other WordPress sites.</li>
<li>It is possible to empty the localisation database prior to import as well as to choose whether or not to overwrite already existing entries.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Hooks</h4>
<p>At the moment Quick Localisation hooks on <code>gettext</code>, <code>gettext_with_context</code>, <code>ngettext</code>, and <code>ngettext_with_context</code> filters with very low priority (namely, 1000), allowing it to be the last one to have a say on translations.</p>
<p>Should one use other similar <code>*gettext*</code> hooks, the priority can be changed in <code>index.php</code>.</p>
