## Description

This plugin helps you to declutter your WordPress login screen by removing the language
switcher which has been [introduced in WordPress 5.9](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/12/20/introducing-new-language-switcher-on-the-login-screen-in-wp-5-9/).

Removing the dropdown makes sense when you only have one additional language installed
and don’t intend to change back to English for example. In this case you can simply
install and activate the plugin. There are no futher settings.

### What does this plugin do?

The plugin uses the default [WordPress Hooks API](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/)
and disables the language selector with the following one-liner:

    ```
    add_filter( 'login_display_language_dropdown', '__return_false' );
    ```

I have a customized login page and use just one language. With this splendid plugin
the “old” login page was back. WP developers, put a checkbox in the configuration
so one can choose to use the switcher or not. Thanks Dominic Schilling
