NOTE: INSTALLING THIS PLUGIN ALONE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SITE FULLY COMPLIANT WITH GDPR, CCPA OR OTHER PRIVACY REGULATIONS. COMPLIANCE DEPENDS ON CORRECT CONFIGURATION AND MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL LEGAL MEASURES SPECIFIC TO YOUR ORGANISATION.
<h3>Multilingual Support</h3>
Kukie works out of the box with WPML and Polylang. When a visitor views a translated page, the cookie consent banner automatically displays in the matching language – no additional configuration needed.
Supported language sources (in priority order):
<ol>
<li>Manual override from plugin settings (“Banner language” dropdown)</li>
<li>WPML current language</li>
<li>Polylang current language</li>
<li>WordPress site locale</li>
</ol>
Banner translations (titles, descriptions, buttons, cookie categories) are managed in the Kukie dashboard at https://app.kukie.io. The plugin ships with built-in translations for 71 languages.
Developers can programmatically override the detected language via the <code>kukie_script_lang</code> filter:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'kukie_script_lang', function( $lang, $source ) {
 return 'de'; // Force German regardless of WPML/Polylang state
}, 10, 2 );
</code></pre>
The <code>$source</code> argument is one of <code>forced</code>, <code>wpml</code>, <code>polylang</code>, <code>wp_core</code>, or <code>none</code>, letting filter callbacks decide based on where the language came from.
