Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin support automatic translate my texts in easy language?

Actually no. But this feature will be implemented in future versions. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions.

Why this plugin adds 3 Easy Languages?

The plugin supports the following 3 simple languages by itself:

  • Leichte Sprache in german
  • Easy Language in englisch
  • FALC for french

They are all included during plugin activation and can then be used or disabled depending on the plugin.

How does this plugin change the HTML-output in frontend?

We set the language abbreviation in the HTML code to the corresponding main language. This allows screen readers to read out the plain language in the visitor’s language. Unfortunately, this is necessary because there is no standardized ISO abbreviation for plain language that is also recognized by screen readers.
