<h3>🔥 One free target language</h3>
<p>The first language translation is completely free for non-commercial websites. If your website is of a commercial nature (e-commerce, advertising, etc.), a commercial licence is available.</p>
<h3>🧮 No word limits!</h3>
<p>Don’t count the words on your website to decide which plan to choose, wpLingua doesn’t limit them! Simply choose the number of target languages and translate without counting!</p>
<h3>🚀 Optimized for international search engines (SEO)</h3>
<p>When you use wpLingua on your website, all elements of your content – even those that are invisible – are translated.</p>
<p>wpLingua is “SEO-Friendly” because it takes care of translating:</p>
<p>✓ Meta Title tags<br />
✓ Meta Description tags<br />
✓ Hreflang alternative links<br />
✓ Meta tags for social networks (Twitter X, OpenGraph Facebook…)<br />
✓ ALT attributes of images<br />
✓ And more.</p>
<p>By optimizing indexing, we ensure that your translated pages are not only understood by your audience, but are also easily found by search engines.</p>
<h3>🪄 Streamlined Setup Process</h3>
<p>Forget about complex plugins to set up, wpLingua enhances the user experience of the multilingual world.</p>
<p>All you need to do to get started is request your machine translation API key, then play with the language switcher appearance options!</p>
<p>Let wpLingua take care of the technical aspects while you concentrate on creating compelling content for your international audience. Our commitment is <strong>to make multilingual capabilities accessible and easy to use for all WordPress users</strong>.</p>
<h3>✍️ Tailor-made translations at your fingertips with our On-Page Editor</h3>
<p>Although wpLingua gives you the convenience of <strong>machine translations</strong>, we understand the nuances of each language.</p>
<p>wpLingua allows you <strong>to fine-tune each translation manually</strong> if you need to.</p>
<p>Experience the fusion of automation and the personal touch with our <strong>visual on-page editor</strong>.</p>
<h3>🔗 Editable URL translation</h3>
<p>The plugin <strong>automatically discovers URLs on your website and lets you translate them</strong>. URLs are split into slugs (parts of the URL), making them easy to edit. This feature boosts SEO performance!</p>
<h3>🎨 Fully customizable language switcher</h3>
<p>wpLingua’s language switcher is fully customizable. You can display the language selector in four ways:</p>
<p>✓ Automatic insertion via predefined positions.<br />
✓ Use a shortcode to display it wherever you like.<br />
✓ Insertion in the navigation menu using the design defined by the theme.<br />
✓ Insertion in the navigation menu from the site editor using the Gutenberg block named Language Switcher</p>
<p>You can also control the appearance of the language switcher using:</p>
<p>✓ Switcher styles (dropdown, inline, block…)<br />
✓ Predefined themes (light, dark, chameleon, etc.)<br />
✓ Configurable language names (translated name, original name, language ID, etc.)<br />
✓ Flag shapes (round, rectangle, wavy)<br />
✓ Language-based flag choices or import your own flag images<br />
✓ Adding custom CSS in a dedicated insert</p>
<p>With all these customization options, there’s no way your website’s language switcher will look like any other!</p>
<h3>📖 Translation rules by dictionary</h3>
<p>The dictionary allows you to define translation rules that apply when generating machine translations. You can specify words or sets of words that should never be translated, or define how they should be translated for each language.</p>
<h3>🖼️ Translation of links and media</h3>
<p>This feature lets you apply translation rules to links and media, offering even greater customization. You can display different images or modify link URLs according to the current language. These rules apply to the following elements: Link URLs, image URLs, iframe URLs and URLs in intercepted JSONs.</p>
<h3>🧭 Intuitive possibilities to exclude certain translations</h3>
<p>Navigate the complexities of website translation with wpLingua’s intelligent exclusion feature.</p>
<p>Want to preserve specific sections of a page in its original language? Our system seamlessly allows you to pinpoint and <strong>exclude translations using CSS selectors</strong>.</p>
<p>If entire pages need to remain untouched, effortlessly exclude them by their URL. All of this can be managed with ease through our user-friendly exclusions manager.</p>
<p>With wpLingua, you’re always in command of what gets translated and what doesn’t, ensuring your website’s essence remains intact.</p>

We invite you to consult our <a href="https://wplingua.com/terms-and-conditions/" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms & Conditions page</a> for more information.</p>

<h4>Compatibility with WordPress Themes</h4>
<ul>
<li>WPGlobus works correctly with all themes that apply proper filtering before outputting content.</li>

<li>Read more on the topic <a href="https://wpglobus.com/documentation/wpglobus-compatibility-with-themes-and-plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Compatibility with WordPress Plugins</h4>
<p>We have tested WPGlobus with many plugins. However, since plugins are frequently updated, some adjustments may be required after a new update. We will do our best to monitor and make the necessary changes on our end.</p>
<h4>Permalinks</h4>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT:</strong> WPGlobus will not work if your URLs look like <code>example.com?p=123</code> or <code>example.com/index.php/category/post/</code>.</p>
<p>Please go to <code>Settings->Permalinks</code> and change the permalink structure to non-default and with no <code>index.php</code> in it. If you are unable to do that for some reason, please talk to your hosting provider or systems administrator.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> WooCommerce adds their own section to the Permalinks. It is important to fill in all the information. For example, you need to specify your Shop Base, for example, <code>/product/</code>. If you leave it blank, WooCommerce will try to translate the base (eg <code>/produkt/</code> for German), which will result in a 404 error.</p>
<h4>Developing on `localhost` or custom ports</h4>
<p>WPGlobus may not work correctly on development servers having URLs like <code>//localhost/mysite</code> or on custom ports like <code>//myserver.dev:3000</code>. Please use a proper domain name (a fake one from <code>/etc/hosts</code> is OK), and port 80.</p>


WPGlobus

This is a fantastic plugin and very well coded.

A customer noticed a small compatibility issue with the plugin and my Total theme where certain background color settings wouldn't work in the customizer. This is because some of my settings are named using the format "element_background" and it looks like the plugin only excludes settings with the word "color" in them. 

Anyway, it was very easy to browse through their code since it's very clean and well commented to locate the "wpglobus_customize_disabled_setting_mask" filter so I could exclude settings that also have _background and _bg in the setting name.

The plugin is extremely developer friendly.

Great work!

Awesome plugin and well coded

Multilingual/Globalization: URL-based multilanguage with an easy translation interface.
