<p><strong>End of development: as of version 1.2.1, we’re not continuing the development on this plugin. This doesn’t mean that it’s broken. The recent WordPress development covers to a good degree the functionality in this plugin. However, in order to build and run multilingual websites, <a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a> includes everything that you need.</strong></p>
<p>WordPress Language plugin lets you easily run localized WordPress sites. It will change the WordPress language, without having to install translation files or edit PHP.</p>
<ul>
<li>Adds a language switcher to the WordPress admin bar</li>
<li>Automatically downloads and installs the correct .mo file</li>
<li>Let’s you choose country-variants</li>
<li>Provides one-click update when new translations are available</li>
</ul>

<h4>HOW IT WORKS</h4>
<p>WordPress Language uses an online index of current translation files for WordPress. That index includes entries for each WordPress version, language and country variant.</p>
<p>When you switch language, the plugin checks for the best translation file. Then, it downloads the translations, scans them and stores the translations in the database.</p>
<p>You don’t need to install any .mo files or edit your wp-config.php to switch languages.</p>
<h4>NEED A MULTILINGUAL SITE?</h4>
<p>When you need to run multilingual sites, you’re welcome to try <a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a>. You’ll be able to run several languages on the same site from one database.</p>
<p>Running a multilingual site is a lot easier and more efficient than having several WordPress sites – one for each language.</p>
<h4>FEATURE SUGGESTIONS and QUESTIONS</h4>
<p>WordPress Language is evolving. To suggest new features or ask a quesion, visit <a href="http://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wordpress-language/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Language plugin page</a>.</p>

<p>WordPress uses various methods to convert the original english text strings into the target language. Using the server’s built-in native gettext functions is considerably faster than their PHP equivalent. This plugin checks whether a webserver offers this optional gettext capabilities to WordPress.</p>
