Description

Sublanguage is a multilanguage plugin for wordpress.

Concept

  • no duplicated content (untranslated or untranslatable data inherits main language value)
  • no additional database table (translation data is stored in post_meta)
  • no markup added into content (unlike q-translate)
  • no cookies (language is defined solely by URLs, better for SEO)

Features

  • [NEW] support for Gutenberg (beta feature)
  • translation UI for posts content, title, permalink, excerpt and meta (for posts, pages and custom posts)
  • translation UI for terms name, slug and description
  • translation UI for attachments title, caption, description, alt and meta
  • translation UI for nav menus
  • translate localized text
  • translate login, password change, etc.
  • translatability: define which content is translatable or not
  • URL rewrite: translate posts and terms permalinks and child pages path
  • support revisions
  • support multisite
  • extendable

Notes

In version 2.9, a security vulnerability (“The plugin settings can be executed by lower privilleged (sic) user”) was reported for Sublanguage. In order to ease the fixing, we chose to permanently remove a few under-used features concerned by this exploit in v 2.10. Please write in the forum if you disagree with this choice.

  • remove automatic upgrade from version 1.x (version 2.0 is now about 10 years old).
  • remove a quick edit button in classic editor that was available width Tinymce Advanced plugin.
  • remove the possibility to translate options (Options translated so far will still works as usual in the front-end, you just no longer can edit translations in the back-end).
