Multiple languages should be available in the WordPress admin #387

Open jeremyfelt opened 7 years ago

jeremyfelt commented 7 years ago

We have DISABLE_FILE_MODS enabled so that the file editor and plugin updates are disabled through the admin. This also disables the ability to install language packs as needed. (See https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/38673)

We should be able to provide many (all?) of the available language packs manually so that users can select whichever language they'd like to use in the admin.

At the same time we'll need to determine the proper way to handle plugin language packs, which are now dynamically created through translate.wordpress.org and installed with the plugin.

More reasoning for the original issue - In WordPress 4.7, users can select which language they'd like to use for the admin. https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/11/07/user-admin-languages-and-locale-switching-in-4-7/
