Language doesn't change: Ensure you clicked Apply or Save in the language panel. If the UI doesn't update, refresh the page once. The selected locale should persist. If some strings stay in another language, they may not yet have a translation for that locale.
RTL layout: Choosing an RTL language (such as Arabic) mirrors the admin shell automatically: sidebar, menus, dialogs, and grids flip to right-to-left reading order. If the layout doesn't mirror, confirm the active locale is an RTL language. See RTL layout.
Focus not visible: Focus styling is part of the default design. If you don't see a focus ring, check whether a custom theme or CSS overrides it. FleekDash uses visible focus by default for accessibility.
Keyboard trap: If focus seems stuck (e.g. in a modal), use Escape to close the modal or Tab to cycle. Focus should return to the element that opened the overlay when it closes.
Translations / PO editor: If your build includes a PO editor or custom text overrides, see the admin help for how to add or edit translations for a locale.

In practice
Language Management — language change, RTL layout, focus, keyboard trap, translations. On this page, Language Management: Tips and troubleshooting is covered in detail: what it looks like in the admin, the exact controls it exposes, and how it behaves when you use it day to day. The sections above walk through Quick reference in order, so you can skim headings and jump straight to the part you need. Because language management: tips and troubleshooting is part of Multi-language & Accessibility — translated locales, keyboard navigation, screen-reader-friendly structure, and RTL support — the settings you touch here interact with the rest of the feature; when in doubt, open the feature overview and follow the docs in order.
