Admin Locale Switcher

Managing a multi-language Magento store means constantly checking how things look in different locales — product names, CMS content, email templates, attribute labels. Magento's default approach requires changing the admin user's locale in account settings, which is slow and disruptive.

This module adds a quick locale switcher directly to the Admin Panel interface, letting administrators switch between languages instantly without navigating to account settings. Particularly valuable for QA teams and content managers who work across multiple storeviews daily.
