Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Wimpel

No. Everything runs on your own server. Wimpel makes no request to any other server, neither in the admin area nor on the front end.

Not automatically. Wimpel deliberately registers no rewrite rules and does not change your permalink structure. Each translation has the permalink you give it, for example /en/about-us/ as a normal page hierarchy. Search engines do not require a particular URL structure for multilingual sites; what matters are the hreflang links, and Wimpel sets those.

They stay. Translations are ordinary posts and pages and belong to you, not to the plugin. Nothing is deleted on uninstall unless you explicitly switch that on in the settings. Even then Wimpel removes only its own linking data and its settings.

Usually not: common SEO plugins do not output hreflang of their own without a multilingual plugin. After setting up, check the source of a translated page once for "rel=alternate". If a line appears twice, switch the hreflang output off in the Wimpel settings.

No. Wimpel creates copies as drafts so that you do not start from an empty page, and the translating is done by people. Nothing is published automatically, and an existing translation is never overwritten.

No. Wimpel handles posts, pages and the content types you select. Menus, tags, categories and theme texts stay untouched.

Yes. The switcher is a plain list of links and needs no JavaScript.
