@angus developed a plugin that includes this functionality. You should give it a look instead of installing this plugin [Multilingual Plugin 🌐](https://meta.discourse.org/t/multilingual-plugin/142740)

The difference here is that the feature is displayed within the user settings. I like that.

The multilingual plugin also lets you restrict the available locales in the user interface languages setting.

Will this work after this setting up: (so no locale for china anonymous users for example?)

I don’t think so, that feature wasn’t available when I developed this, maybe @angus plugin has support for this.
