Falang multilanguage for WordPress

After spending many hours searching for a solution for a multi-lingual site, I came across Falang.
It exactly solves my use-case. I don't need translation services and don't want to pay for an expensive premium plugin that includes 'translation credits' .. and it actually works!
I use Divi so installed Falang for Divi Lite.. also seamless and totally useful

I'm so happy I'm going to buy the (modestly priced) premium version anyway even though I don't need to for my functionality (which is rare for me!)

I did spend a few hours getting setup with my second language which is NZ Māori, which is not in Falang's or Wordpress' predefined languages. See my post in the Support section on this.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Falang is the easiest multilanguage plugin you can use to translate a WordPress site.

<p>Just tag parts of your text to be in different languages, and a flag will appear next to the text and allows users to switch between them.</p>
<p>No other elements of the blog will be translated.</p>
<p>Use <code>[:gb]</code> to specify that the following text part is english, or use any other two char language code.<br />
To use one text block in multiple languages use e.g. <code>[:gb,de]</code>, which is handy for parts like images.<br />
Write <code>[:*]</code> to use the block in all (within the text already known) languages.<br />
You can without any problem mix many of those tags. e.g. <code>[:gb]english-intro[:de]german-intro[:*]common image[...]</code>.</p>
<p>Optionally also the title of a text can be multilingual, but requires theme modification.</p>
<p>The flags can be placed:</p>
<ul>
<li>next to the text. This is the default and do work out of the box.</li>
<li>next to the title. This requires a template change.</li>
<li>an other place. If you would like to place e.g. the flags in a widget (which is included).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to:</p>
<ul>
<li>zorun for the flags</li>
<li>Tamas, Anton for beta testing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Contributing</h3>
<p>You may overwork the readme and also the other texts… that would be great.</p>
<p>If you have ideas/bugs please contact me.</p>
<h3>Code</h3>
<p>The package also contains an version for PHP5.3+. The file is functional identical to the other one (which only requires PHP 5.2) but makes usage of a nice new feature and is easier to read/write.</p>
<p>When WordPress requires PHP5.3+ (sometime in the future) that file will be used.</p>
<h3>Flags</h3>
<p>The flags are from http://www.free-country-flags.com/ and under CC-BY-SA License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).</p>
