Module: BLS - Backend Language Switcher

This administration module can change the set language within seconds in the backend. The module creates a drop-down list, in which all available languages are listed. By clicking, the selected language is loaded and you can continue working on the same page. This is very useful when testing language files or if you want to create screenshots of different languages.

All available languages are automatically detected and added to the selection dropdown list
Changes have only temporary effect on the session, the default values are loaded after a new login
