Multilify is a lightweight yet powerful multilingual plugin for WordPress that allows you to create and manage content in multiple languages with ease.

Key Features

Unlimited Languages – Add as many languages as you need
Custom Slugs – Set a different URL for every language, including nested pages
hreflang Tags – rel="alternate" tags in <head>, plus x-default, so search engines index each language correctly
Correct Page Language – <html lang> and a Content-Language header follow the language being viewed
Browser Language Detection – First-time visitors land in the language their browser asks for; their own choice is remembered afterwards
Translation Progress – The settings page shows how many entries each language still needs
Flag Picker – Choose a flag from a grid instead of hunting for the emoji
Performance First – Object caching on the slug lookup, with an index to match
Visual Editor – Translate content using the familiar WordPress editor
Language Switcher – Built-in switcher with flag-only or flag + name display
Any Post Type – Posts and pages out of the box, anything else through the multilify_post_types filter
Shortcode & Template Tag – Drop the switcher anywhere with [multilify_switcher]
Developer Friendly – Filters for the post type list, the translated title and content, the flag choices and the locale

Perfect For

Blogs and magazines
Business websites
E-commerce stores (works with WooCommerce)
Portfolio sites
Any WordPress site that needs multilingual support

Translating Content

When editing a post or page, you’ll see meta boxes for each active language where you can:

Enter translated title
Add translated content using the WordPress editor
Set custom URL slugs for each language
All fields are optional – fallback to default language if not translated

Language Switcher

Add the language switcher to your theme using:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'multilify_switcher' ) ) multilify_switcher(); ?>

Or use the shortcode: [multilify_switcher]

To show flags only (no language name):

<?php if ( function_exists( 'multilify_switcher' ) ) multilify_switcher( array( 'show_name' => false ) ); ?>

Or with the shortcode:

[multilify_switcher show_name="false"]

The language name is optional. If you leave it empty when adding a language, the language code is used as a fallback. You can also edit a language’s name and flag at any time from the Multilify settings page.
