Description

The Select Language At Signup adds a language selector to the WordPress registration form, allowing new users to choose the interface language at sign-up. Designed for multisite networks with an international audience, the plugin records the preference in the newly created account and applies the language to the admin dashboard from the first login, eliminating the manual step of switching under Profile > Language.
