Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about WakaLang
Add your languages under WakaLang → Languages, set the default language, choose switcher placement under WakaLang → Settings, then assign languages and translation groups in the post or page editor.
Flush rewrite rules from WakaLang → Tools, clear page/object/CDN caches, and confirm you are viewing a URL with the expected language prefix.
Language assignments and translation groups are stored in a WakaLang database table, so a WordPress export (WXR) does not carry them. Move the content first, then use WakaLang → Tools → Import and export translation relationships on the old site to download the relationships and on the new site to import them. Objects are matched by post type and slug (never by ID), a preview reports what would happen before anything is written, and rows that cannot be matched are listed with a reason.
WakaLang translates your content, URLs, and the site's core "face" fields (site title, tagline, date/time display, logo, and site icon). It does not scan or translate the gettext strings built into themes and plugins (button labels, widget titles, form messages). Install a WordPress language pack for each language under Settings → General to translate those automatically. For strings without an official translation, hand-edit them with a dedicated string-translation plugin such as Loco Translate — a complementary tool that WakaLang never installs or changes for you. WakaLang and Loco Translate share the work rather than duplicating it.
Yes in normal setups. If root browser-language detection is enabled, exclude the bare site root (/) from full-page caching, host cache, and CDN cache, or turn that detection off in WakaLang → Settings. Prefixed URLs such as /en/ and /ja/ remain safe to cache normally because the URL prefix is the language source of truth. Clear caches after changing URL, menu, or switcher settings.
WakaLang Free is complete for manual multilingual publishing. WakaLang Pro is a separate add-on for licensed AI-assisted translation workflows and is not bundled in the free WordPress.org plugin.
Use the WordPress.org support forum for WakaLang Free. Do not post license keys, API keys, account details, payment information, or refund requests in public forum threads; use the Pro support route shown inside the plugin when applicable.
No. WakaLang Free makes no external network calls, does not use a CDN, does not include telemetry, and does not perform license checks.
Yes. Every page's <html> tag gets a lang attribute and, for a right-to-left language, dir="rtl", guaranteed directly from your configured language registry rather than from WordPress's own installed language packs — so it is correct even before you install that language's translation files. This covers WCAG success criteria 3.1.1 (Language of Page) and 3.1.2 (Language of Parts) for the language-of-page/switcher parts of your site. The language switcher also marks each right-to-left language's link with dir="rtl".
To stay lightweight, WakaLang does not include a visual front-end translation editor, a full theme/plugin string-scanning panel, media/attachment translation, translated or shared slugs, per-language domains or subdomains, WooCommerce or page-builder specific integrations, translation-agency workflows, multisite language networks, or a visitor-facing machine-translation widget. The URL prefix stays the source of truth for the current language, WordPress slugs stay canonical, and no translation credits are sold.
