Salesforce User Language Switcher Extension

This little Google Chrome extension helps Salesforce users to switch their current user language with a single click.

Working with customers who use their Orgs in multiple languages is always tricky and time-consuming, when it comes to translations and testing these.
In the current version of Salesforce you need 6+ clicks to change your own user language in your personal settings of Salesforce.
And even worse, as the settings page does not open in a separate tab, you might even lose your current context. Annoying...

And as we are developers and therefore love to make our lives easier, we've developed this little Google Chrome extension.

Marta Stempień (ID: 00000094bf0ca460) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/04/2022 Live-changing extension while testing features translations in multilingual orgs. It saves a lot of time as I no longer have to go to Personal Settings and switch user's language back and forth to see one label translation. I love it!
