Multilingual Text

Just tag parts of your text to be in different languages, and a flag will appear next to the text and allows users to switch between them.

No other elements of the blog will be translated.

Use [:gb] to specify that the following text part is english, or use any other two char language code.
To use one text block in multiple languages use e.g. [:gb,de], which is handy for parts like images.
Write [:*] to use the block in all (within the text already known) languages.
You can without any problem mix many of those tags. e.g. [:gb]english-intro[:de]german-intro[:*]common image[...].

Optionally also the title of a text can be multilingual, but requires theme modification.

The flags can be placed:

  • next to the text. This is the default and do work out of the box.
  • next to the title. This requires a template change.
  • an other place. If you would like to place e.g. the flags in a widget (which is included).

Thanks

Thanks to:

  • zorun for the flags
  • Tamas, Anton for beta testing

Contributing

You may overwork the readme and also the other texts… that would be great.

If you have ideas/bugs please contact me.

Code

The package also contains an version for PHP5.3+. The file is functional identical to the other one (which only requires PHP 5.2) but makes usage of a nice new feature and is easier to read/write.

When WordPress requires PHP5.3+ (sometime in the future) that file will be used.

Flags

The flags are from http://www.free-country-flags.com/ and under CC-BY-SA License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).
