<p><strong>EffortLess Multisite Language Switcher</strong> is a lightweight plugin designed for WordPress Multisite networks.<br />
It adds a floating globe icon on the frontend, allowing users to quickly switch between subsites — each typically representing a different language or locale.</p>
<p>The plugin detects each site’s locale setting and displays an appropriate flag icon. Flags are automatically mapped using a JSON file and preloaded to enhance performance. Optimized caching ensures fast rendering of the switcher.</p>
<p>This plugin is ideal for multilingual networks using subdirectories or subdomains.</p>
<p><strong>Features:</strong><br />
– Automatically detects and displays flags for each site in the network.<br />
– Uses a floating, always-visible globe icon for an intuitive language switcher.<br />
– Intelligently switches to equivalent pages/posts with matching slugs across language sites.<br />
– Falls back to site homepage if equivalent page doesn’t exist on target site.<br />
– Option to hide the language switcher on all sites via network admin settings.<br />
– Customizable switcher position (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right) with adjusted top spacing.<br />
– Flag menu appears below the switcher for top positions and above for bottom positions.<br />
– Smart caching using WordPress transients for flag mappings and site lists.<br />
– Fully compatible with subdirectory and subdomain multisite setups.<br />
– Optimized for performance with minimal resource usage.</p>

 - ES
 - IT

╔═ Archive Template A (EN) -> condition category is "Red (EN)"
╠═ Archive Template A (ES) -> none (in front checks if category is ES translation of "Red (EN)")
╚═ Archive Template A (IT) -> none (in front checks if category is IT translation of "Red (EN)")

- Option 2 (not linked translations, all languages has display conditions):
══ Archive Template B (EN) -> condition category is "Red (EN)"
══ Archive Template B (ES) -> condition category is "Rojo (ES)"
══ Archive Template B (IT) -> condition category is "Rosso (IT)"
