Bogo is a straight-forward multilingual plugin for WordPress.
The core of WordPress itself has the built-in localization capability so you can use the dashboard and theme in one language other than English. Bogo expands this capability to let you easily build a multilingual blog on a single WordPress install.
Here are some technical details for those interested. Bogo plugin assigns <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/multilingual-wordpress/#different-types-of-multilingual-plugins" rel="ugc">one language per post</a>. It plays nice with WordPress – Bogo does not create any additional custom table on your database, unlike some other plugins in this category. This design makes Bogo a solid, reliable and conflict-free multilingual plugin.
<h4>Getting started with Bogo</h4>
<ol>
<li>
Install language packs
First, install language packs for languages you use on the site. You can view and install language packs in the Language Packs screen (Languages > Language Packs).
</li>
<li>
Select your language for admin screen
Bogo lets each logged-in user select a language for their admin screen UI. Select a language from the menu on the <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/administration-screens/#toolbar-keeping-it-all-together" rel="ugc">Toolbar</a>, or from the menu in the Profile screen (Users > Your Profile) if the Toolbar is invisible.
</li>
<li>
Translate your posts and pages
To create a translation post, go to the editor screen for the original post and find the Language box. Bogo does only make a copy of the post; translating the copied post is your task.
</li>
<li>
Add language switcher widgets
It would be useful for site visitors if you have a language switcher on your site. Bogo provides the Language Switcher widget in the Widgets screen (Appearance > Widgets).
You can also use the <code>[bogo]</code> shortcode to put a language switcher inside a post content. If you want to use this shortcode in your theme’s template files, embed the following code into the template:
<pre><code><?php echo do_shortcode( '[bogo]' ); ?>
</code></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<h4>Privacy notices</h4>
With the default configuration, this plugin, in itself, does not:
<ul>
<li>track users by stealth;</li>
<li>write any user personal data to the database;</li>
<li>send any data to external servers;</li>
<li>use cookies.</li>
</ul>

There are some functionalities needed that should be in the core like change the post language, or linking to another post.

A straight-forward multilingual plugin. No more double-digit custom DB tables or hidden HTML comments that could cause you headaches later on.

Starting with WordPress 4.3, you can use languages such as “Deutsch (Sie)” (formal German) in your WordPress installation. But if the themes or plugins you are using do not have a 
translation file for this language, WordPress would use the default language, usually English, instead. With the help of this plugin, you can set a fallback for your chosen language. 
Every time a translation file is loaded, the plugin will then load the fallback if a translation for the originally chosen language was not found.

Language Fallback

This Plugin is awesome and works perfect.

Awesome Plugin

Great tool for falling back to Spanish (Spain) from partially (or not at all) translated Spanish versions like Mexico, Colombia etc.

Works like a charm


Als Nutzer des WordPress Plugins "Language-Fallback" bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit der hervorragenden Unterstützung für mehrsprachige Websites. Die Funktion des Plugins, automatisch die Sprache einer Seite zu erkennen und eine entsprechende Fallback Sprache anzuzeigen, funktioniert einwandfrei und trägt dazu bei, dass Besucher aus verschiedenen Sprachregionen eine bessere Benutzererfahrung haben.



Besonders beeindruckend finde ich, wie einfach das Plugin zu installieren und zu konfigurieren ist. 



Ich schätze auch die reibungslose Integration mit anderen WordPress-Plugins und -Themes. Es gab keinerlei Konflikte oder Probleme bei der Verwendung von Language-Fallback in Verbindung mit anderen Erweiterungen.



Insgesamt kann ich das WordPress-Plugin Language-Fallback jedem empfehlen, der eine mehrsprachige Website betreibt oder betreiben möchte. 


Effektive Sprachunterstützung mit Language-Fallback

Set a language as a fallback for the chosen language (e.g. "Deutsch" as a fallback for "Deutsch (Sie)")
