## Description

Define the second site language, which will be used if the installed plugins don’t
have translations for the first site language.

If the plugin does not have a translation file in a specific language, it will use
the default translation (English). But in some cases it will be more useful to load
another language other than English. This plugin allows to define this second language
to be used when the first default language is not available.

Usage examples:
 – German formal (Sie) language by default and German (Du) language
as second option. – Portuguese language by default and Spanish language as second
option.

## Installation

 1. Unzip the plugin archive on your computer

 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 4. Navigate to: Settings > General Settings page > “Site second language” option and
