Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Multilanguage by BestWebSoft - WordPress Translation Plugin and Language Switcher
function get_additional_links( $links_attr ) {
/* English for New Zealand */
$links_attr[] = array( 'hreflang' => 'en_NZ', 'link_param' => 'en_GB' );
/* English for South Africa */
$links_attr[] = array( 'hreflang' => 'en_ZA', 'link_param' => 'en_GB' );
return $links_attr;
}
add_filter( 'bwsplgns_mltlngg_add_alt_links', 'get_additional_links' );
Note: before you have to choose English (for England) as one of languages of your website.
I added several whitespaces between words during the post content editing in the text mode. They are gone after I switched to the visual mode. Why?
After the mode switching, the post content has been automatically filtered to remove all odd symbols or HTML tags which can disrupt pages layout on your website. This functionality is related to WordPress core and our plugin does not affect it in any way.
When title and content is empty, none of the changes get saved when I update the post
When title and content fields in active language tab are empty when you are trying to update the post after editing, the changes will not be saved and an error message will appear. You need to fill at least one field or switch to another language tab (which contains some content in the specified input fields) and try to update once again.
How can I change element's style in the frontend for certain language?
"mltlngg-{current language slug}" class type has been added to <body> tag for an ability to stylize content of certain language. For example, if you want to set a green color for <p> when the English language is selected, it is necessary to:
1. Go to WordPress admin panel "Multilanguage" -> "Custom Code";
2. Check off "Activate" in "Editing bws-custom-code.css" block and enter the following code:
.mltlngg-en_US p {
color: green;
}
Save changes.
How can I add a language that is not in the list?
You can add the necessary language by adding the appropriate line with language data to "languages.php" file (wp-content/plugins/multilanguage/include/languages.php).
Follow the next steps:
1. Find the wp-content/plugins/multilanguage/include/languages.php using the FTP software.
2. Open the languages.php file in a text editor.
3. Add a language following the example of others from the list.
4. Save changes.
5. Add the corresponding flag icon image (png, 16x11px) to the 'images/flags/' folder using the FTP software.
