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:
<ul>
<li>Unlimited languages (no free 2-language limit)</li>
<li>Force a page to a specific language URL (useful for mixed-language menus)</li>
<li>Language switcher: shortcode or automatic output (no shortcode needed)</li>
<li>Multilingual SEO extras: optional <code>hreflang</code> output to help Google show the right language version to the right visitors</li>
<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 gives better transliteration of non-ASCII characters in slugs. Currently covers Esperanto, Swedish, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, German, Russian and Bulgarian. It can also handle dashes.
When WordPress creates slugs for the titles of posts and pages, and for tags and categories, it makes them all-ASCII, which among other things means removing diacritics (e.g. “é” becomes “e”, “ö” becomes “o”, “ĉ” becomes “c”, etc.). For some languages the default filtering is OK, but for others it gives very bad results. The results for languages that don’t even use a Latin script are especially unsatisfactory. The plugin Transliterado provides better transliteration systems for some languages. You can choose which of those systems should be used for your slugs. For some languages more than one transliteration system is available. Transliterado can also go through already existing posts and pages, and redo their slugs, if the user chooses that option. Another option does the same for tags and categories.
Significant parts of the code comes from the plugins Rustolat by Anton Skorobogatov, BGtoLat by Ognyan Mladenov, and Slugger by Hans Christian Saustrup.
Maybe you want to add systems for other languages. It’s very easy to do. Have a look at the files for the languages that are in the plugin package already. I’ll be happy to include any additions that are sent to me: “bertilow” at “gmail.com”.
Priskribo:
Ĉi tiu kromprogramo donas pli bonan transliteradon de ne-Askiaj literoj en URL-nomoj. Nun prizorgataj estas Esperanto, la Sveda, la Finna, la Dana, la Norvega, la Germana, la Rusa kaj la Bulgara.
Kiam WordPress kreas URL-nomojn por afiŝoj kaj paĝoj, kaj por etikedoj kaj kategorioj, ĝi transformas ilin al Askio, kio interalie signifas, ke ĝi forigas ĉiujn kromsignojn (ekz. “é” fariĝas “e”, “ö” fariĝas “o”, “ĉ” fariĝas “c”, k.t.p.). Por iuj lingvoj la defaŭlta filtrado estas en ordo, sed por aliaj ĝi donas tre malbonan rezulton. Precipe nekontentigaj estas la rezultoj por lingvoj, kiuj eĉ ne uzas la Latinan alfabeton. La kromprogramo Transliterado provizas pli bonajn transliteradajn sistemojn por kelkaj lingvoj. Oni povas elekti, kiuj el tiuj sistemoj estu uzataj por URL-nomoj. Por iuj lingvoj haveblas pli ol unu transliterada sistemo. Transliterado ankaŭ povas prilabori jam ekzistantajn afiŝojn kaj paĝoj, refarante ties URL-nomojn, se la uzanto elektas tiun eblon. Alia eblo faras la samon pri etikedoj kaj kategorioj.
Gravaj partoj de la kodo venas el la kromprogramoj Rustolat de Anton Skorobogatov, BGtoLat de Ognyan Mladenov, kaj Slugger de Hans Christian Saustrup.
Eble vi volas aldoni sistemojn por aliaj lingvoj. Tio estas tre facila. Rigardu la dosierojn de tiuj lingvoj, kiuj jam estas en la kromprograma paketo. Mi volonte enmetos aldonojn, kiujn vi sendos al mi: “bertilow” ĉe “gmail.com”.
