<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>

<h3>Tips for developers</h3>
<p>The Transifex Live plugin uses WordPress hooks to manipulate the links found in your website’s content, so they always point to the appropriate language. If you use custom post types (or one of your plugins does) that emits the ‘the_content’ filter, our code might not be triggered.</p>
<p>For those cases, it is recommended to manually trigger our custom filter ‘tx_link’ before you return your content, as seen in the example below:</p>
<p>Ex. $updated_content = apply_filters(‘tx_link’, $original_content);</p>
<p>It is also recommended  to use <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Widgets_API" rel="nofollow ugc">widgets</a> in your theme instead of custom code, since this allows you to make your integration more future proof against incompatibilities with 3rd party modules.</p>

Transifex have done an outstanding job reimagining how we translate content for the web with their Transifex Live service. I am proud to have contributed to the code early on and to see it continue to grow. It not only saves hours of time when compared to other translation methods, but also integrates with one of the most powerful and intuitive localization platforms I have ever seen.
