Multilingual Manager – Abdiel

Lightweight multilingual manager for WordPress focused on language structure, SEO, and full content control.

<p>To improve your SEO and the accessibility of your content, you must declare changes of language within your content.<br />
You must also declare translations of your pages to Google to avoid duplicate content.</p>
<p>TinyMCE: For the people still in this old editor, buttons are available to add <code>lang</code> and <code>hreflang</code> attributes on your content, therefore to improve accessibility when screen readers are reading words from different languages than your main page language.</p>
<p>Gutenberg: For Gutenberg users, WordPress already provide the “Language” menu. When selecting a text you can add a specific language. This plugin will enhance this behaviour with its own command, and by remembering the last language code you used.<br />
This plugin also comes with a hreflang option that you can put on links to tell users “this link lead to a French website” for example.</p>
<p><strong>Example of cases you need this plugin:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You translated a blog post in your language from another blog, (hreflang alternate links)</li>
<li>You publish the same article in 2 languages on 2 different websites, (hreflang alternate links)</li>
<li>You use in your content a jargon from another language. (<code>lang</code> attribute)</li>
<li>You link from your post other posts in another language. (<code>hreflang</code> attribute)</li>
<li>Your Menus have some items not translated (<code>lang</code> attributes) or lead to page in another language (<code>hreflang</code>), you can edit those attributes in the Menus admin-menu. (<strong>WordPress 5.4</strong> compatibility) If you have a FSE (Full Site Editing) theme, I don’t know how this will work for you, but you can use the Gutenberg commands this plugin put at your disposal.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features available</h3>
<ul>
<li>Custom <code>hreflang</code> alternate links for posts (page, and custom posts)</li>
<li>Attributes <code>hreflang</code> and <code>lang</code> available and visible in the editor</li>
<li>Attributes <code>hreflang</code> and <code>lang</code> available on your main Menus items. (<strong>WordPress 5.4</strong> compatibility)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Known bugs</h3>
<p>In old version of Gutenberg, the <code>hreflang</code> attribute on links is applied, but never save it in database. That is because <code>hreflang</code> is cleaned from WordPress posts. Indeed, it was not well recognized by the WordPress post sanitizing function.</p>
