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]
