Lets every administrator switch their own backend (admin panel) language in one click — without touching the site's global language settings and without needing another admin's permission to change it back.

By default the switch is temporary: it lasts until you log out, and never writes to your user profile. An optional setting makes it permanent instead, saving the choice to your profile's
admin_language parameter — exactly like Joomla's own "My Profile" screen would.

Features


- Temporary or permanent switching, your choice, per module instance.
- Dropdown or inline display style.
- Shows the native language name, the language code, or both.
- Customisable icon (any Joomla icon alias or Font Awesome class) — no code changes needed.
- Locale-independent alphabetical sorting of the language list (ICU Collator, with a strcoll() fallback if ext-intl isn't available).
- "Default (site setting)" option to reset back to the site's actual default admin language, correctly distinguished from your own persisted profile preference.
- Hidden automatically on the login screen (nothing to switch there).
- On first install, automatically creates a published module instance in the admin header's status area — nothing to configure by hand.
- Companion system plugin needed only for temporary-mode switching; it self-enables on first install.
- Errors (invalid token, plugin disabled, language not installed, profile save failure) are logged to a dedicated log file and always leave you with a clean URL, never a stuck/repeatable failed action.
