Preferred Languages Reviews
deja de usar solo Es_es y Es_mx, ES_ar…
Es un plugin, imprescindible en cualquier instalación fuera del inglés.
Should be in the core!
Awesome plugin!
Make this a core feature
I honestly think that this should be a core feature of WP. The only thing wrong I notice is that when you are looking at the front end… The language of the admin bar changes into the site language
