Works like a charm
by vietnamsales·10 years ago
I was messing aro8und with .po .mo files and such, for a website in Vietnamese but back-end in English. This plugin saved my day in 20s!
All good except this…
by skyhrg·10 years ago
Everything works as planned except for one thing:
When you click on “register for site” for your site and you are taken to the form where you fill in your details, this page is viewed by the client and needs to be in non-English. But when “Admin in English” is activated, this page is in English. I have to deactivate it so that the website visitors can view it in their native language.
No response on support forum

Does not seem to work with all aspects of multilingual sites, but no response to request for information on support forum.
