Lets users change their administration language to English

== Description ==
This plugin lets users change their administration language to native English (en_US locale).

This is useful during site development and for people more accustomed to the english administration panel, even if your site
is in another language. (The frontend will still use the native language.)

This plugin is developer friendly and small (~100 lines of code). Check the FAQ for customization examples.

**Usage**

*Basic usage*

Once you have installed and activated the plugin, navigate to any admin page and check the top admin bar. A button will
display your current locale. If you click on it, the admin will change to English locale (en_US). To switch back,
press the button again.

== Requirements ==
* PHP 5.3 or higher

== Translations ==
* None

== Installation ==
1. Upload the `english-wp-admin` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin (English WordPress Admin) through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
3. Use the functionality via the admin bar

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Some plugins are still in the native language when switching to English =

To fix this, move the file /wp-content/plugins/english-wp-admin/english-wp-admin.php to /wp-content/mu-plugins/

This will ensure this plugin is loaded before all other plugins and that it sets the correct language.
This is a WordPress restriction.

= How do I prevent regular users from having the option of changing the admin language? =

If you only want the first admin user to have this option, put this code in your themes function.php file:

    /** Only allow the admin user to change the admin language **/
    if(get_current_user_id() === 1) {
        add_filter('english_wordpress_admin_show_admin_bar', '__return_true');
    }
    else {
        add_filter('english_wordpress_admin_show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
    }

= How do I automatically enable this plugin for certain users? =

Use the snippet below to have admins always use the admin page in english.

    /** Enable the plugin automatically for admin users */
    if(current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        global $english_wordpress_admin_plugin;
        $english_wordpress_admin_plugin->set_cookie(1);
        add_filter('english_wordpress_admin_show_admin_bar', '__return_false');
    }

= This plugin does not solve my needs =

This is a tiny plugin with a small mission. If you want better customization, check out the [Native Dashboard](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-native-dashboard/) plugin instead which has more functionality at the expense of a larger codebase.
