Adds a language taxonomy to posts, pages and other items.
This will add a URL scheme (Your Blog)/lang/(slug).
There is also a template tag for usage within the loop.
Example:
<pre><code><?php if(function_exists('lt_the_language')): ?>
<?php lt_the_language($post_id); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>

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


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
