Manage translation settings via json.

Add in the root of your theme or plugin file wpm-config.json.

Sample configurations can be viewed in config files in folder ‘configs’ in root the plugin.

Configuration is updated after switching theme, enable or update any plugins.

The plugin has filters for dynamic application configuration for translate.

For turn off translation, set null into the desired configuration.
For example, you must turn off translation for a post type post.
There are two ways:

  1. In json.
    Create in root of a theme or a plugin file wpm-config.json with:
    {
    “post_types”: {
    “post”: null
    }
    }

  2. Through the filter.
    Add in functions.php
    add_filter( ‘wpm_post_post_config’, ‘__return_null’ );

To enable translation pass an empty array in php array() or empty object in json {}.

Supports translation multidimensional array of options, meta fields and post_content.
Supports the removal of established localizations.
Supports translation via GET parameter. Add in the GET parameter lang code desired language.
Supports clean database of translations when removing the plugin. Translations are only removed from the built-in tables.
Supports import term translations from qTranslate(by Soft79).
Supports automatically redirect to the user’s browser language, if he visits for the first time.

Ideal for developers.

For display language switcher in any place add the code to your template if ( function_exists ( 'wpm_language_switcher' ) ) wpm_language_switcher ();
Function accepts two parameters:
$type – ‘list’, ‘dropdown’, ‘select’. Default – ‘list’.
$show – ‘flag’, ‘name’, ‘both’. Default – ‘both’.

Or using the shortcode wpm_lang_switcher. It accept two not necessary parameters ‘type’ and ‘show’.

Available features for translation:
wpm_translate_url( $url, $language = ” ); – translate url
wpm_translate_string( $string, $language = ” ); – translate multilingual string
wpm_translate_value( $value, $language = ” ); – translate multidimensional array with multilingual strings

Update translation occurs at PHP. Therefore plugin has high adaptability, compatibility and easily integrates with other plugins. This is what distinguishes it among similar.

Available translation html tags by JS for strings what do not have WP filters before output.

Add your tags in config:

"admin_html_tags": {
    "admin_screen_id": {
      "attribute": [
        "selector"
      ]
    }
}

Where:
admin_screen_id – admin screen id.
attribute – attribute what need to translate. Available ‘text’ – for translate text node, ‘value’ – for translate form values. Or other tag attribute, like ‘title’, ‘alt’.
selector – css selector for search needed tag. Each selector is a new array item.

If You need to add translation for multidimentional array for repeated elements You can use custom tag ‘wpm_each’ for set config to each element in array.
Example, add config for each item ‘title’ in custom post field array:

"post_fields": {
    "custom_field": {
      "wpm_each": {
        "title": {}
      }
    }
}

For set translation uses the syntax:
[:en]Donec vitae orci sed dolor[:de]Cras risus ipsum faucibus ut[:]

Added shortcode for translate text in any place:
[wpm_translate][:en]Donec vitae orci sed dolor[:de]Cras risus ipsum faucibus ut[:][wpm_translate]

If You translate text in established language, add lang parameter:
[wpm_translate lang=”de”][:en]Donec vitae orci sed dolor[:de]Cras risus ipsum faucibus ut[:][wpm_translate]

Support translating from syntax qTranslate, qTranslate-X, WPGlobus etc.

Compatible with REST-API.
Support transfer the required translation through option lang in the GET request to REST.
Has the ability to keep recording the target language through the transmission parameter lang in the request.

  1. Before installing/uninstalling, make database backup.
  2. Deactivate qTranslate-X.
  3. Install and activate WP Multilang.
  4. Create in root of your theme file ‘wpm-config.json’.

Warning

Do not support different slug for each language(Yet).

Not compatible with:
– WP Maintenance

Known issues

Function ‘get_page_by_title’ not working, because in title field are stored titles for all languages. Use function ‘wpm_get_page_by_title( $title )’ as solution.

NOTE: Because plugins have different ways of storing data, WP Multilang is not compatible with every single plugin out-of-the-box (mostly page builders). This may result in texts not being translatable or translations not being saved. Most of these issues can be resolved using the integration options (wpm-config.json or filters) of WP Multilang.

Please try WP Multilang in a test-environment before activating it on an existing production site and always make a backup before activating!

FAQ

I add new translation, but it rewrite another translation on different language.

If you have opened several browser tabs for editing this post in different languages, translation will be saved for the language that you opened last.

The plugin is not bad, perhaps the most convenient for self-translation of articles into different languages. But, I don't understand how to remove this message that keeps popping up when editing an entry. >>>The backup of this post in your browser is different from the version below. «Restore the backup»This will replace the current editor content with the last backup version. You can use undo and redo in the editor to get the old content back or to return to the restored version.<<<

I'm stuck with the plugin and can't find another I can easily change to. I've been avoiding updating Ultimate Addons for Gutenberg (now Spectra) because the new versions don't work with this plugin anymore. The 1st language is okay, but once you change to another the pages will loose all the CSS that's added from that plugin! I can't find a way to solve this. If anyone is able to help or refer me to another translation plugin that uses this same method please contact me!

I have a page with cpt and cf and the customer decided to translate the page very lately. I tried polylang, wpml, and similir ones and most of them are - why? - very expensive to fit our needs or they are not able to just handle some cf. And then i saw WP Multilang - fuck, this is really exactly what i needed. it works with WP 5.8.3 - just tested it and it works like a charm.. everything is just as one would expect it to be. Thank you soooo much
