<p>This very simple WordPress plugin automatically sets up the WP language environment based on the first part of the url of any page.</p>
<p>It will automatically setup the right XML header lang attribute + the internal WordPress $locale variable that is used to load the right language files for i18n and l10n (.po, .mo).</p>
<h4>Usage:</h4>
<p>Your blog URL structure should always begin with an official two-letter langage code, for example:</p>
<ul>
<li>/en/… for english</li>
<li>/es/… for Spanish</li>
<li>/ja/… for Japanese</li>
<li>/fr/… for French</li>
<li>etc.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please use only lower-case codes.</p>
<p>Pages that don’t comply to this URL scheme will still get your blog’s default locale setting, as configured in your wp-config.php file.</p>
<p>Sometimes you need to rename or copy some of your po/mo files, for example French language PO files are usually named like this: <code>fr_FR.po</code>;<br />
just copy it to <code>fr.po</code> to make it work with a two-letter code.</p>
<h4>Example</h4>
<p>This plugin is used for extended multi-language support on the <a href="http://post2peer.com/about" title="Post2Peer posts and sites directory" rel="nofollow ugc">Post2Peer.com open posts directory</a>.</p>
<h4>Français</h4>
<p>Ce plugin permet très simplement de faire fonctionner un blog multilingue ou bilingue, français/anglais par exemple.</p>

<p>Are you welcoming visitors from different countries on your site and don’t know how to serve all of them the best possible reading experience? Then just give Lingo a spin and you won’t regret it.</p>
<p>A the best of it: You don’t need to even think about accomplishing this, the plugin does all of that work for you. The <strong>only thing</strong> you need to do is provide a translated version of each post you would like to show in multiple languages and there you go: Everything works right out of the box. There’s no need for configuring – it just works.</p>
<h4>Functionality</h4>
<p>The plugin provides you with a clean, simple workflow on how to create translations. After you’ve chosen a specific post which you want to translate, you just need to click ‘Translate’ on the post overview. Then Lingo will create a complete copy of the post and assign it a special post type so that it’s completely isolated from normal posts.</p>
<p>After that, you’ll see an edit screen that looks nearly exactly like the one for your original post. You can use the WYSIWYG-Editor, all types of metaboxes and so on. After providing a translation you just need to pick the suitable language and hit ‘Save’.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Support for <a href="http://www.advancedcustomfields.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> will soon be added.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>Supported Languages</h4>
<p>Lingo currently makes use of all languages that are available on the ‘Site Language’ select-field in the admin area of your site (‘Settings’ > ‘General’ > ‘Site Language’ ). But don’t get me wrong: It doesn’t matter how many languages are installed on your site, Lingo works with all of them anyway.</p>
