The filter that worked for me was ‘bogo_available_languages’.
The ‘bogo_languages’ changed the display language only in the Admin area.
The first changes the links $name, just what i needed. The display languages in the Admin area stays the same.
Cheers!
My code:
function adapt_bogo($lang) {
$long = array("English", "Russian");
$short = array("EN", "RU");
$lang = str_replace($long, $short, $lang);
return $lang;
}
add_filter ('bogo_available_languages', 'adapt_bogo');
