The very first post on, quoted by Sarah Gooding above, said exactly that: Yes, here in Canada, we know the problem of having one flag and two official languages :-). I tested the plugin, and, although it’s still technically in beta, it works as advertised for providing your own translations on a small website.
#Language switcher plugin for frontend full
It’s a long way down the road but we are full of energy and optimism.Īt the moment, the plugin is suitable for WordPress administrators who want to make their sites more global and are willing to provide their own translations. WPGlobus attempts to solve those problems. Some countries are multilingual, so clicking on a country flag is not always enough. A user may have a non-trivial combination of residence, language and currency. The Buyer, the Seller and the Site Administrator may all speak different languages. When it comes to e-Commerce, additional challenges may arise. Further down the road, Karpinsky hopes to integrate functionality that will assist e-commerce vendors: In this instance, the event staff can easily translate event details on the various pages to provide information for attendees in their own languages.įor large sites and blogs, an expanded version of WPGlobus is in the works, which would integrate with multilingual plugins, such as WPML, qTranslate, or Polylang.
For example, it could be useful for an event where attendees speak a handful of different languages. In its current state, WPGlobus was designed for simple, static sites. The frontend dropdown menu allows visitors to switch between languages and displays them by changing the URL (//page/). If you have a relatively small website that is quick to translate, you can paste translations for other languages directly into WPGlobus’ tabbed interface in the post editor. The images are also customizable, should you wish to add your own or define custom combinations of country flags and language abbreviations. WPGlobus offers different ways to customize the way the languages appear in the menu and comes with flag images pre-installed for each language. The first step in using the plugin is to select the languages you want to be available in the frontend dropdown.
The plugin offers an interesting new attempt at providing multi-language support for WordPress sites. Last week WPGlobus 1.0 beta was released on.
