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>

This plugin is available for reference only. Its functionality has been replaced and extended by <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cyr2lat/" rel="ugc">Cyr-To-Lat</a>.
The original author of this plugin is Anton Skorobogatov, who passed away prematurely in 2007. I decided to make it available for installation through the Plugin Browser/Installer. I take no credit for the creation of this plugin.
Converts Cyrillic characters in post slugs to Latin characters. Very useful for Russian-speaking users of WordPress. 
You can use this plugin for creating human-readable links.
Thanks to Alexander Shilyaev for the idea.
