LingoSlug Lite is a lightweight solution for multilingual URLs when you want localized permalinks (per-language slugs) and redirects, but you do not need a full multilingual suite.
It is designed for two common setups:
<ul>
<li>Sites where the same WordPress page (same page ID) is rendered in different languages by another language/translation solution (locale switching), and</li>
<li>Sites where each language is managed as a separate page — but you still want clean, localized URLs.</li>
</ul>
LingoSlug Lite handles URL slugs + redirects, but does not translate content.
Example:
Before: 
– (EN) <code>example.com/contact/</code> 
– (DE) <code>example.com/kontakt-page/</code>
After: 
– (EN) <code>example.com/en/contact/</code> 
– (DE) <code>example.com/de/kontakt/</code>
Slug cleanup example (same language):
Before (default WordPress slug): 
– <code>example.com/en/contact-page-2/</code>
After (configured clean slug): 
– <code>example.com/en/contact/</code>
LingoSlug Lite does not translate content and does not create language pages for you.
Problems this plugin solves:
<ul>
<li>Ugly or inconsistent URLs like <code>/sample-page/</code> or <code>/english-page-2/</code></li>
<li>Duplicate URLs / wrong-language URLs after switching languages (automatic redirects help keep URLs consistent)</li>
<li>Better search engine consistency: redirects help crawlers index the correct language URL instead of duplicates/wrong-language URLs.</li>
</ul>
Who this is for:
<ul>
<li>You want language-aware URLs (e.g. <code>/{lang}/{slug}/</code>) for selected pages.</li>
<li>You manage languages manually and just want URL hygiene (slugs + redirects).</li>
<li>Your language solution sets the WordPress locale per request and/or uses a <code>/{lang}/...</code> prefix.</li>
</ul>
Features:
1) Per-language slugs 
– Configure a page and define a slug per language code (e.g. <code>en</code>, <code>sv</code>). 
– The plugin adds rewrite rules so configured pages can have language-aware URLs. 
– Permalinks are filtered so links point to the configured slug for the current locale. 
– As a fallback, a query parameter can also be used (configurable in settings, e.g. <code>?lang=en</code>). 
– Free version note: the plugin allows the site default language + 1 additional language (max 2 total).
2) Automatic redirects 
– Helps avoid duplicate or wrong-language URLs after switching languages (redirects to the correct slug for the current locale).
3) Optional switcher 
– Enable an optional navigation switcher via shortcode <code>[lingoslug_lite_switcher]</code>. 
– Shortcode parameters: 
 – <code>page_id</code> (optional): Render the switcher for a specific page ID. If omitted, the plugin uses the currently viewed page when possible. 
– Important: The switcher requires another plugin to translate the page dynamically (same page ID) by switching the site language/locale. LingoSlug Lite does not automatically map separate translated pages to each other.
4) Slug cleanup 
– Configure clean, consistent slugs (per language) even if the default WordPress slug is “ugly”. 
– This also works within a single language (e.g. use <code>/en/contact/</code> instead of <code>/en/contact-page-2/</code>).
Privacy:
<ul>
<li>LingoSlug Lite does not collect personal data and does not send data to third-party services.</li>
</ul>
Upgrade to LingoSlug Pro for:

<li>Optional SEO tools: noindex controls and attachment page handling</li>
</ul>

LingoSlug Lite

Simple clean multilingual URLs with per-language slugs and automatic redirects — for sites where translations are handled separately.

This plugin allows you to use longer URLs (permalinks), by allowing much more characters in your titles and slug. The important is that this is done in a way that is future compatible with WordPress core updates. 
There is a 200 characters limitation on WordPress core nowadays and this limit is raised to 3000 with the plugin. 
Plugin is always extending the current WordPress core code – your long URLs will work even after WordPress core updates. 
This plugin is really useful especially in non-latin slugs because of the required url escaping that increases the length of your permalinks a lot.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Upon activation the available slug length (post title) will become 3000, allowing long permalinks.</li>
<li>Required functionality is automatically applied without changing WordPress core files.</li>
<li>Even after core updates, plugin will automatically apply required changes and just keep your long URLs working.</li>
<li>Plugin requires at least MySQL 5.0.3</li>
</ul>

Longer Permalinks

Excellent plugin

Allow long permalinks in your WordPress. Useful especially for using non-latin characters in permalinks.  Respects future relevant core updates.
