Simple Translation Remover

Beskrivning

The plugin enables the easy deletion of unwanted translations. This will remove nags to update translations for unwanted locales, and enable some server disk space to be reclaimed. Website back-ups will be a bit quicker and backup files will be a bit smaller.

Deletion of unwanted translations can be done using FTP and the site host’s file manager, or by using a file manager plugin, but administrators should find this easier and quicker with this plugin. The plugin will suit administrators who are uncomfortable with using FTP or who don’t have FTP access.

Deactivating

Deactivate or delete the plugin at Dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins

Usage

Go to Dashboard > Tools > Translation Remover

Select the translations you would like to be removed. Several can be removed with one pass.

The default action is to just list the translation files so you can check they are the correct ones, or you can select the deletion of the files.

Click ”Go”.

The plugin will not allow the removal of translations for the active locale. To remove the translations for the active locale, go to Dashboard > Settings > General and select a new site language. When you come back to the Translations Removal tool, the original site language translations can be selected for removal.

If you inadvertently remove any translations that you would like to keep, select their locale as the site language, go to Dashboard > Updates and click the ”Update translations” button.

The locale: ”English (United States)” is the language used in the code. It doesn’t have any translation files.

What a super useful plugin. After a client got a bit overzealous with installing way too many unnecessary languages using Polylang the /wp-content/languages/ directory was full of 100s of files. This was a great way to clean them up. Thank you for such a useful tool
