Yasno: Russian Language Law Checker (168-FZ)

Описание

In Russian the plugin is called «Русский язык 168-ФЗ».

Since 1 March 2026, Federal Law No. 168-FZ of 24 June 2025 requires information for consumers in Russia — including website texts, product descriptions, buttons and menus — to be in Russian. Foreign words are allowed when they are listed in the normative dictionaries of the Russian language; trademarks and company names may be written as registered.

Yasno reads the published content of your WordPress site and shows what is worth checking:

• Words in Latin script — «Sale», «Fast delivery», «Shop now».
• Latin abbreviations — «NEW», «FAQ», «SALE».
• Anglicisms with a common Russian replacement — about 50 words such as «дедлайн», «шоп», «фидбэк», «кешбэк», with suggestions.
• Exceptions for your trademarks and company names, plus an optional list of widely used designations (USB, Wi-Fi, GPS, PDF, QR…). The site domain is always an exception.
• Where it looks: all public post types you choose — pages, posts, WooCommerce products (title, short and full description), services, portfolio and other custom types — plus navigation menus, site title and tagline. If WooCommerce is active, products are selected automatically.
• Results by word and by page, with a text fragment, links to edit, and a column in the posts list. Posts are rechecked automatically when you save them.
• The check runs in small batches and does not slow the site down. Texts never leave your site.

The plugin interface is in Russian.

Important. The plugin is a helper, not legal advice. It does not contain the normative dictionaries: check disputed words against the dictionaries approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.
