COMPATIBILITY REVIEW
How Preferred Languages compatibility is evaluated
01 · Review official plugin documentation
Confirm documented plugin behaviour before making multilingual compatibility claims.
02 · Identify text shown to visitors
Check whether the documented features display text that visitors can read.
03 · Separate content from functionality

04 · Confirm what can be translated
List supported content only after specific text shown to visitors has been identified and can be validated.
PLUGIN INFORMATION
What the plugin does
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.
TRANSLATION BOUNDARY
Preferred Languages capabilities and translatable content are documented separately.
Official documentation describes the plugin functionality, but does not currently identify specific text shown to visitors that can be translated.
A feature is not considered translatable unless it includes text that users can read.
LIMITATIONS & QA
Verification notes
- This integration is documented for compatibility context. Visitor-facing translation scope is not listed for this category.
