## Description

**Provides a convenient locale / language / region selector in the WordPress admin
toolbar.**

**Perfect for anyone that needs to switch languages quickly and easily:**

Allows logged-in users to easily change their preferred locale / language / region
setting right from the toolbar menu, instead of having to modify their user profile
settings.

The default behavior of WordPress is to apply the user locale preference to the 
admin back-end only – the WPSSO User Locale Selector add-on can optionally extend
the locale preference to the front-end webpage as well.

### Do you use the Polylang plugin?

If the Polylang plugin is detected, the locale selector will automatically use the
correct Polylang language URLs.

### WPSSO Core Required

WPSSO User Locale Selector is an add-on for the [WPSSO Core plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsso/),
which creates extensive and complete structured data to present your content at 
its best for social sites and search results – no matter how URLs are shared, reshared,
messaged, posted, embedded, or crawled.
