<p>Evertongue helps WordPress sites carry one message across many languages without the overhead of a heavyweight multilingual system.</p>
<p>It was built for teams who need more than a handful of translations. Many popular multilingual plugins work well for a few languages, then become hard to manage as the language list grows. Evertongue keeps the workflow intentionally simple: real WordPress pages and posts, predictable language URLs, focused string translation, and switchers that remain usable when your audience spans dozens of languages.</p>
<p>Inspired by Revelation 5:9, “every tribe and tongue and people and nation,” Evertongue is for mission-driven teams working to make their message accessible to a global audience.</p>
<h4>What Evertongue does</h4>
<ul>
<li>Translate pages and posts as whole posts using the standard Gutenberg/classic editor</li>
<li>Translate theme/site strings</li>
<li>Default language at the site root, others under <code>/{code}/</code></li>
<li>Identical slugs across every language for a given page or post</li>
<li>Auto-swapping menu items with fallback to the default language</li>
<li>Floating language switcher, or manual template tag</li>
<li>hreflang alternate links and og:locale metadata on translated pages and posts</li>
<li>WPML and Polylang importers for migrating languages, content, and strings</li>
<li>PO file export/import for round-tripping strings</li>
</ul>
<h4>What Evertongue does not try to be</h4>
<p>Evertongue is not an all-in-one localization suite. It does not try to handle every edge case, automatic translation workflow, or site-specific integration inside the core plugin. The goal is a clean foundation for multilingual content that stays understandable, maintainable, and fast as your language count grows.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Add languages under Evertongue <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Languages. Configure your default. Translate pages and posts from the editor sidebar (Gutenberg) or side meta box (Classic).</p>
<p>Render the language switcher in your theme:</p>
<pre><code><?php if ( function_exists( 'evertongue_switcher' ) ) evertongue_switcher(); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>Use <code>style => 'combobox'</code> for a searchable dropdown.</p>
<p>For users who prefer not to edit theme code, enable the floating button or footer list under Evertongue <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Automatic switchers.</p>
