Evertongue helps WordPress sites carry one message across many languages without the overhead of a heavyweight multilingual system.
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.
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.
<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>
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.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Add languages under Evertongue → Languages. Configure your default. Translate pages and posts from the editor sidebar (Gutenberg) or side meta box (Classic).
Render the language switcher in your theme:
<pre><code><?php if ( function_exists( 'evertongue_switcher' ) ) evertongue_switcher(); ?>
</code></pre>
Use <code>style => 'combobox'</code> for a searchable dropdown.
For users who prefer not to edit theme code, enable the floating button or footer list under Evertongue → Settings → Automatic switchers.

must have


Great plugin. Very useful to be able to translate plugins without an external tool like poedit.


Great tool

I'm using it in all one language projects


So easy to translate strings in any plugin or theme! Also big plus for keeping updating plugin instantly, especially with the recent bug in WP 6.7


Outstanding plugin!


We recommend this to all of our clients who ask about translations.



It can even be used to "translate" (alter) default English texts within a plugin/theme too.


Awesome Plugin

Great support!


A must-have plugin for managing the lifecycle of translations in custom plugins and themes. 



There's a steep learning curve to climb when it comes to language and translation management. This plugin helps a lot and works really well.



Also impressed with the speed of response to my help topic. Thanks Tim!


Excellent plugin and support


This is a great tool. I've been using it for years, and it has never let me down.


Simply awesome
