## Description

In Russian the plugin is called «Русский язык 168-ФЗ».

Since 1 March 2026, Federal Law No. 168-FZ of 24 June 2025 requires information 
for consumers in Russia — including website texts, product descriptions, buttons
and menus — to be in Russian. Foreign words are allowed when they are listed in 
the normative dictionaries of the Russian language; trademarks and company names
may be written as registered.

Yasno reads the published content of your WordPress site and shows what is worth
checking:

 * **Words in Latin script** — “Sale”, “Fast delivery”, “Shop now”.
 * **Latin abbreviations** — “NEW”, “FAQ”, “SALE”.
 * **Anglicisms with a common Russian replacement** — about 50 words such as «дедлайн»,«
   шоп», «фидбэк», «кешбэк», with suggestions.
 * **Exceptions** for your trademarks and company names, plus an optional list of
   widely used designations (USB, Wi-Fi, GPS, PDF, QR…). The site domain is always
   an exception.
 * **Where it looks**: all public post types you choose — pages, posts, WooCommerce
   products (title, short and full description), services, portfolio and other custom
   types — plus navigation menus, site title and tagline. If WooCommerce is active,
   products are selected automatically.
 * **Results by word and by page**, with a text fragment, links to edit, and a column
   in the posts list. Posts are rechecked automatically when you save them.
 * The check runs in small batches and does not slow the site down. Texts never 
   leave your site.

The plugin interface is in Russian.

Plugin website: [wp-addon.ru/yasno](https://wp-addon.ru/yasno/)

**Important.** The plugin is a helper, not legal advice. It does not contain the
normative dictionaries: check disputed words against the dictionaries approved by
the Government of the Russian Federation.

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin from the WordPress plugin directory or upload the ZIP in “Plugins
    Add New”.
 2. Activate it and open “WP-ADDON  Русский язык 168-ФЗ” in the admin menu.
 3. Click “Проверить сайт” (Check the site) and review the results.
 4. Add your trademarks and company names on the “Настройки и исключения” (Settings
    and exceptions) tab.

## FAQ

### Does the plugin change my texts?

No. The free version only finds words and suggests replacements; you edit the texts
yourself.

### Does it send my content anywhere?

No. The check runs on your server. The plugin does not connect to external services.

### Why is my brand name highlighted?

The plugin cannot know which names are registered trademarks. Click “В исключения”(
Add to exceptions) next to the word, or list your trademarks on the settings tab.

### Is a word from the list really prohibited?

Not necessarily. The list contains words that are likely missing from the normative
dictionaries and have a common Russian replacement. The final decision is yours;
check disputed words against the normative dictionaries.
