Description

I tried to test another language and copied de_DE.mo file into wp-content/languages.

1) In Settings - General I can see de_DE version now and that is right. But when I try to use only admin-de_DE.mo file, then de_DE is not there. I am not sure if it is a feature or bug. But maybe we should check all files (subprojects)?

2) Anyway, when there are both de_DE.mo and admin-de_DE.mo, language is available in dropdown, but language updates does not work for de_DE. It is probably for checking .po files by API. But is is not consistent, because users can see that they can switch to de_DE language and updates will not work.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release
  • Version changed from trunk to 3.0

get_available_languages() was introduced in 3.0. It's something we can improve in 4.1.

And yes, .po files are required.
