Language Switch Not Displaying in WordPress

Language Switch Not Displaying in WordPress

If the language switch is not showing in your WordPress editor, the issue is likely related to user role permissions.

Why it happens

In the Multilanguage by BestWebSoft plugin, the translation feature in the editor is available only for user roles that have permission to translate content.
If your current user role doesn’t have this permission, the language switch will not appear in the editor.

How to fix it

Follow these steps to make the language switch visible in the editor:

1. Go to Multilanguage → Settings in your WordPress dashboard.

2. Find the option “Enable translate for”.

3. Check the boxes for the user roles that should have access to translation (for example, Administrator, Editor, or Author).

4. Click Save Changes.

After that, the language switch will appear in the editor for selected roles.
