 * Hello There,
 * Can you please explain the below change in the upcoming WordPress 5.5?
 * [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/05/more-support-for-javascript-i18n-in-wordpress-5-5/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/05/more-support-for-javascript-i18n-in-wordpress-5-5/)
 * Is the admin localized variables will not work in WordPress 5.5?
 * If yes, there should be a solution to this. Can you please it?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * It’s not a functionality change. It’s a methodology change.
    The result of the
   change is that there will no longer be some global PHP variables that contain
   the translations.The translations are now loaded from Javascript instead of PHP.
   It is inaccurate to say “admin localized variables will not work”, because variables
   don’t do work. Code can still refer to the variable, but it will be undefined.

 * Hello [@joyously](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joyously/),
 * Thank you for your reply.
 * I checked in detail and found that wp_localize_script() with the ‘jquery’ handle
   is not working more with WordPress 5.5.
 * Can you please explain any changes related to the js in 5.5?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you.

 * You might be confusing two separate changes.
    One is the `wp_localize_script`
   calls that were removed (and now handled in JS). The other is the removal of 
   the jquery-migrate script, in preparation for the upgrade of jquery from 1.12.
   x to 3.x which will happen in WP 5.6.

 * As is this is a dev question and not an issue with 5.5 being broken, I’m flagging
   this resolved.
 * In general we only use alpha/beta to report bugs or issues with the beta version.
   Marking this resolved means that developers know their assistance is not required
   here.
 * If you have further questions, please post them in [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/05/more-support-for-javascript-i18n-in-wordpress-5-5/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/05/more-support-for-javascript-i18n-in-wordpress-5-5/)
   rather than here.
