Hello,
I can't figure out how to switch languages
I've installed the latest version of the plugin (v1.0), the plugin options appear in my Settings menu. But in the "Select back-end language" drop down box there is only English language option.
How could I use other languages?

Hi Oleg,
"Select back-end language" drop-down list box should include languages according to translations files you have in your plugins folders. So usage of this plugin is quite simple as select language and save your choice.
I need more information to understand what is going wrong. Could you list plugins installed at your blog?Regards,

Hi Peter,
The plugin's Settings page language could be changed with help of "Plugins Language Switcher" to one of the language which is available for that plugin. If the plugin has no translation file for some language that you can not switch it to that language of course."Plugins Language Switcher" should work this way: scan your blog wp-content/plugins folder including subfolders for translations files (files with .mo extension), take language part from it (as de_DE) and if it is inlcluded to the PLS's languages list then add it to the drop-down list box to use on the plugin settings page.
Plugin translation file should be named for this scheme, e.g.: etc-de_DE.mo, or etc-ja.mo, where etc is any string according to the plugin author fantasy and la_LA is the language code part.
en-EN (English) is included to the languages drop-down list by default. So if you have the English item only in the back-end languages drop-down list, we have a trouble with your plugins directory scan for .mo files probably. There is
pluginslangswitch_scanPluginsDirectory()function at the plugins-lang-switch_lib.php file. If you can check directly how it works at your site I appreciate any information about possible errors, problems or suggestions how to fix that what you discover. If you are not PHP developer I can test it myself if it is suitable for you to give me ftp access to your site.Regards,

Hi,
I found a bug in plugin code which could prevent to build available plugin languages list.
I upload to your site updatedplugins-lang-switch_lib.phpfile. Please try to open "Plugins Language Switcher" settings page now. You should see at least English and German there as you have de_De translation file in the plugins directory. Let me know the result.
Any way I uploaded the updated 1.0.1 version to the wordpress.org plugin repository already. So plugin users who got the English only in the languages list please update to v. 1.0.1 and let me know if it help.I afraid that there is some misunderstanding here:
The purpose of this plugin is to switch plugin settings page language only to one of the languages which is available for that plugin.Peter, I don't see plugins with translation files in their installation directories at your site. In this situation "Plugins Language Switcher" is useless.
It doesn't affect the front page in any manner. It works for plugins settings/options pages in the WP admin back-end only.Regards,
