# Plugin affects public site

 * Hi,
 * I have been very happy with this plugin until today: when I was testing functionality
   of my WooCommerce installation, I discovered that WooCommerce identifies WP-LANG
   as en_US when english is used in the WP admin through this plugin. This has the
   effect that the WooCommerce error messages are not translated (e.g. “xx is a 
   required field” messages if the form is not correctly filled in on the Woo checkout
   page). If I switch back WordPress Admin to “Native”, the translation works as
   expected on Woo error messages again. Any idea what could be the problem?
 * Thanks

 * Hey Gorillo,
 * This happens because all AJAX requests in WordPress go through /wp-admin/admin-
   ajax.php and are thus classified as “admin” requests. This include form validation
   in WooCommerce.
 * You’ll be happy to know that this will not affect any customers, because they
   have no option of switching to the english language, so they’ll get the proper
   language on checkout. You can verify this by simply logging out and clearing 
   your cookies.
 * However, be careful when performing actions from WooCommerce that trigger emails,
   as those will be sent in the language you are currently using.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hey Gorillo,
 * This should be solved as of version 1.5, feel free to try it out!
