Also remove "Howdy" in other languages #2

Closed senlin closed 7 years ago

senlin commented 7 years ago

The plugin only removes "Howdy", but leaves translations of it.

Now the question of course becomes whether or not the translations of "Howdy" are also irritating for the users of that particular translated version or not?

On the one hand I can imagine that a translated (and localised) version of Howdy, does not necessarily has to come across as rude, whereas "Howdy" is exactly that for many non-Americans.

Input very welcome before deciding on how to go with this!

It would be nice to remove that too - I'm all a lean WP - the lighter the better

senlin commented 7 years ago

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that too, just remove the whole greeting thing. Will be easier to put together too :)

With the release of version 1.1.0 referenced here, we have removed Howdy and the user/display-name altogether, which should solve this issue.
