A new greeting appears every time you load a page in the admin, turning a tiny UI detail into a small window on the world. #### Features * 100+ greetings spanning languages from every continent * Completely random selection on each page load * Zero configuration required — works immediately on activation * No external requests, no tracking, no nonsense #### Supported Languages Include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Dutch, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Hebrew, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak, Bulgarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian, Zulu, Swahili, Hausa, Chichewa, Setswana, Persian, Azerbaijani, Uzbek, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Georgian, Armenian, Albanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Irish, Welsh, Luxembourgish, Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Esperanto, Hawaiian, Ojibwe, Choctaw, Cherokee, Navajo, Anishinaabe, Norwegian, Bengali, Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, Marathi, Punjabi, Igbo, Akan/Twi, Tongan, Fijian, Samoan, Tahitian, Māori, Australian English, Filipino/Tagalog, Malay, Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Burmese, Khmer, Lao, Tibetan, Mongolian, Kurdish, Latin, and more. #### Privacy Howdy World does not collect, transmit, or store any personal data.

No. The greeting only appears in the WordPress admin toolbar, which is only shown to logged-in users. ### Can I choose specific languages or disable certain ones? Not yet — it’s fully random by design. A future version may add an allow/deny list. Feel free to open a feature request on the plugin’s support forum. ### Will this conflict with translation plugins? It should not. The plugin hooks into WordPress’s `gettext` filter at a high priority and only modifies the specific “Howdy, %1$s!” string. ## Beoordelingen Er zijn geen beoordelingen voor deze plugin. ## Bijdragers & ontwikkelaars “Howdy World” is open source software.
