<p>DeMomentSomTres is a brand new plugin devoted to automatically commute to user browser language for WPML websites.</p>
<p>When the user lands on the initial page, the system tries to select the right language using javascript based on WPML code.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Automatic Language switching in specific pages</li>
</ul>
<h4>History & raison d’être</h4>
<p>In 2011 we needed a multilanguage plugin allowing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Content translation.</li>
<li>Integration with WordPress SEO by Yoast.</li>
<li>Different communication and SEO strategies based on language.</li>
<li>Automatic language selection based on browser language.</li>
</ul>
<p>As we didn’t find it, we decided to implement it and use it.</p>
<p>After many years using it, we moved to Polylang and later to WPML and we stopped using and developing this plugin.</p>
<p>Nowadays, we are using WPML but we like a great feature of our old plugin. Our old plugin was able to have each language in a directory and a landing page allowing to select the language you wanted if the system was not able to select one by itself.</p>
<p>So, we decided to redesign this plugin in order to provide this functionality to WPML.</p>

<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>You have to configure WPML with different folders for each language and use a folder for the default language.</p>
<p>You have to define a default home page that should have all the required languages.</p>
<p>You MUST insert <code>[dms3Language]</code> shortcode in the default home page.</p>

<h4>Compatibility with WordPress Themes</h4>
<ul>
<li>WPGlobus works correctly with all themes that apply proper filtering before outputting content.</li>
<li>As most of the themes save their settings in the <code>options</code> table, you can use the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpglobus-translate-options/" rel="ugc">WPGlobus Translate Options</a> plugin to process those settings correctly.</li>
<li>Some themes incorporate 3rd party plugins (e.g., sliders, forms, composers) – not all of them are 100% multilingual-ready. When you see elements that cannot be translated, please <strong>tell the theme/plugin authors</strong>. We are ready to help them.</li>
<li>Read more on the topic <a href="https://wpglobus.com/documentation/wpglobus-compatibility-with-themes-and-plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compatibility with WordPress Plugins</h4>
<p>We have tested WPGlobus with many plugins. However, since plugins are frequently updated, some adjustments may be required after a new update. We will do our best to monitor and make the necessary changes on our end.</p>
<p>Some 3rd-party plugins are supported with our <a href="https://wpglobus.com/shop/" rel="nofollow ugc">premium add-ons</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wpglobus.com/product/wpglobus-plus/#tablepress" rel="nofollow ugc">TablePress</a>,</li>
<li><a href="https://wpglobus.com/product/woocommerce-wpglobus/" rel="nofollow ugc">WooCommerce and some of its extensions</a>,</li>
</ul>
<h4>Permalinks</h4>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> WPGlobus will not work if your URLs look like <code>example.com?p=123</code> or <code>example.com/index.php/category/post/</code>.</p>
<p>Please go to <code>Settings->Permalinks</code> and change the permalink structure to non-default and with no <code>index.php</code> in it. If you are unable to do that for some reason, please talk to your hosting provider or systems administrator.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> WooCommerce adds their own section to the Permalinks. It is important to fill in all the information. For example, you need to specify your Shop Base, for example, <code>/product/</code>. If you leave it blank, WooCommerce will try to translate the base (eg <code>/produkt/</code> for German), which will result in a 404 error.</p>
<h4>Developing on `localhost` or custom ports</h4>
<p>WPGlobus may not work correctly on development servers having URLs like <code>//localhost/mysite</code> or on custom ports like <code>//myserver.dev:3000</code>. Please use a proper domain name (a fake one from <code>/etc/hosts</code> is OK), and port 80.</p>


WPGlobus – Multilingual WordPress

This is a fantastic plugin and very well coded.

A customer noticed a small compatibility issue with the plugin and my Total theme where certain background color settings wouldn't work in the customizer. This is because some of my settings are named using the format "element_background" and it looks like the plugin only excludes settings with the word "color" in them. 

Anyway, it was very easy to browse through their code since it's very clean and well commented to locate the "wpglobus_customize_disabled_setting_mask" filter so I could exclude settings that also have _background and _bg in the setting name.

The plugin is extremely developer friendly.

Great work!

Awesome plugin and well coded
