What's going wrong

Site owners running multilingual WordPress sites report that activating this plugin can flip the front end or the admin interface to English, even when the default and user languages are set to German or French. Some see WooCommerce default translations overridden, so correct translation files stop working until the plugin is deactivated. Others see mixed German and English menus, and one saw the admin follow the content language and switch to Arabic. Sites with several languages and translation packs are most affected. A fix would give owners a clear language diagnostic and a safe override that keeps their chosen language.
