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.
