PREFERRED LANGUAGES
Preferred Languages translation compatibility with REEID Translate — evidence review.
Official plugin evidence describes what Preferred Languages does, but does not yet establish specific visitor-facing content values that REEID should translate.
AWAITING VERIFICATION
Translation scope is not yet established.
Plugin capabilities can be documented without treating structure, behavior, configuration or feature availability as translatable content.
AWAITING VERIFICATION
This integration has not yet been manually verified by REEID.
TRANSLATION SCOPE
No specific visitor-facing content values are currently approved for translation scope.
PLUGIN EVIDENCE
Plugin capabilities and distinctive features are documented separately from REEID translation support.
PRACTICAL WORKFLOW
Translation workflow
01 · Review official plugin evidence
Document factual capabilities, content models and relevant plugin behavior from the available evidence.
02 · Identify concrete visitor-facing values
Look for explicit labels, titles, descriptions, messages, placeholders or other human-readable content values.
03 · Approve translation scope
Only evidence-backed visitor-facing values become supported translation scope for the integration record.
04 · Test confirmed integration behavior
Validate approved content and plugin behavior before publishing compatibility claims.
PLUGIN INTELLIGENCE
What the official plugin evidence shows
Plugin capabilities
- Allows users to select multiple preferred languages/locales for displaying WordPress content in a fallback order.
- Implements a fallback mechanism where WordPress attempts to load translations for the active locale and, when unavailable, falls back to English strings (as described in the plugin’s problem statement).
- Automatically merges incomplete translations across the preferred locale list to reduce English strings when translations are incomplete.
- Provides a `preferred_languages_merge_translations` filter to opt out of the automatic merging behavior (parameters: `$merge`, `$domain`, `$current_locale`).
- Adds UI elements for selecting preferred languages in both the site settings (Settings → General) and the user profile (as indicated by screenshots).
- Supports keyboard shortcuts for managing the preferred locale list (e.g., reordering, adding from a dropdown, and removing entries), with a note that the UI must be focused for shortcuts to work.

Dynamic content
Dynamic or runtime content behavior remains limited to what is explicitly documented in the official plugin evidence.
SEO and metadata
SEO and metadata behavior is documented only where it is explicitly established by official plugin information.
URLs and navigation
URL and navigation behavior remains outside translation scope unless explicitly represented by the integration category.
Forms and commerce
Forms and commerce behavior is limited to factual capabilities documented for this plugin.
CONTENT BOUNDARY
Keep plugin capabilities separate from translation scope.
Current evidence documents what Preferred Languages does, but no specific visitor-facing content values have been approved as translation scope.
Structure, configuration, logic, integrations and runtime behavior are not translation claims.
LIMITATIONS & QA
Verification notes
- This integration is documented for compatibility context. Visitor-facing translation scope is not listed for this category.
