Could you please check if you set the language of each of your blogs in Settings > General Settings?

As I said in my first post, “I have no language options in the General settings”.
Thanks.

Well, finding any kind of clear documentation about how you’re supposed to enable these language settings is a PITA. From what I can gather I’m supposed to copy language packs to wp-content/languages. Where to get the language packs from is a mystery.

OK, so I found the German .po and .mo files and now German is an option in the General Settings > Language of the Blog, but I don’t want the WordPress interface to be in German, I simply want support for a customer facing German language version of our site. I’d like the interface to stay in English.
This has nothing to do with the plugin.
You might read first WordPress in your language and after that you’ll maybe download the plugin Native Dashboard.

I have to disagree, I think this is completely relevant to the plugin’s purpose. Several posts here show that other users have faced similar issues so even just a quick mention in your instructions on how to actually enable the language support in a multilingual, multisite WP installation, even if it’s just links to the relevant Codex pages on the subject, would go a long way. There are some other fantastic articles on the subject on other sites, but they all seem to leave out the most important detail. Thank you very much for the dashboard switcher plugin link, that’s exactly what we needed. You help is greatly appreciated!
There is – of course – no problem with your point of view.
You are welcome to write the documentation for the Multisite Language Switcher in English (I can just offer a version in German and another Italian). That’s the point when we make something Open Source.
