The new administration page is restricted to administrators only, the profile setting also work for subscriber. The dashboard quick switcher handling has been changed startion WordPress version 3.0 because there is no longer a header. You can use the quickswitcher at the admin bar anyway, this is prefered use case at higher versions of WordPress.

Download and File Management

Starting with version 1.1.0 of this plugin it uses now the WordPress build-in file management from core. If the plugin detects, that you are not permitted to write directly to disk, it uses the FTP user credentials for download and remove of language files.

WordPress / WPMU and BuddyPress

If you have a local WordPress community providing their own download repository for language files, please let me know, if you would like to get it integrated. Because i didn't found an official language file repository for BuddyPress and WPMU, it currently only permits WordPress language file downloads. If you have more specific informations about, please let me know, it's easy to integrate a new download section (also with detection the kind of WP).
