LocaleSwitch: Free Language Switcher for Chrome & Firefox

A free and open-source browser extension supporting over 100 languages, allowing users to switch between different language interfaces on websites with ease.

What is LocaleSwitch?

LocaleSwitch is a free and open-source browser extension available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. It allows users to easily switch between different language interfaces on websites with just a single click.

The extension currently supports over 100 languages, enabling users to seamlessly view website content in their preferred language. When visiting a site that offers multiple language options, LocaleSwitch displays an icon in the browser toolbar showing the current language. Clicking on the icon brings up a list of all available languages, allowing the user to quickly change to another interface.

A key benefit of LocaleSwitch is convenience. Instead of having to navigate deep into a website's settings or reload pages in different languages, LocaleSwitch makes switching languages fast and simple. This helps improve the browsing experience for multilingual internet users or those learning a foreign language.

LocaleSwitch is also customizable. Users can easily add or remove languages from the list based on their needs. The extension offers both commonly spoken languages like Spanish, French, and Chinese as well as less common or regional languages. There is also an option to set a default language rather than having English automatically selected on each site.

As an open-source project, LocaleSwitch is freely available and its code is transparent for users to inspect. Contributors are welcome to provide feedback, fix bugs, or suggest additional features. Overall, LocaleSwitch aims to make browsing the internet in multiple languages as seamless as possible.
