Multilingual / Globalization: URL-based multilanguage; easy translation interface, compatible with Yoast SEO, All in One SEO Pack and ACF!

== Description ==

**WPGlobus** is a family of WordPress plugins assisting you in making bilingual / multilingual WordPress blogs and sites.

> **WPGlobus**

The **WPGlobus Free Core plugin** provides you with the main multilingual tools.

* **Manually translate** posts, pages, categories, tags menus and widgets; **NOTE: WPGlobus does NOT translate texts automatically!** To see how it works, please read the [Quick Start Guide](http://www.wpglobus.com/quick-start/);
* **Add one or several languages** to your WP blog/site using custom combinations of country flags, locales and language names;
* **Enable multilingual SEO features** of Yoast SEO and All in One SEO plugins;
* **Switch the languages at the front-end** using: a drop-down menu extension and/or a customizable widget with various display options;
* **Switch the Administrator interface language** using a top bar selector;

The WPGlobus plugin serves as the **foundation** to other plugins in the family.

> **Free Add-ons**

* [WPGlobus Featured Images](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpglobus-featured-images/): allows setting featured images separately for each language.
* [WPGlobus Translate Options](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpglobus-translate-options/): enables selective translation of the `wp_options` table strings. You need to use it when your theme or a 3rd party plugin (a slider, for example) has its own option panel, where you enter texts.
* [WPGlobus for WPBakery Visual Composer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpglobus-for-wpbakery-visual-composer/): enables WPGlobus on certain themes that use WPBakery's Composer. Please note that Visual Composer is a commercial product, and therefore our support is limited.
* [WPGlobus for Black Studio TinyMCE Widget](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpglobus-for-black-studio-tinymce-widget/): adds multilingual editing capabilities to the visual editor widget.

> **Premium Extensions**

* [WooCommerce WPGlobus](http://www.wpglobus.com/shop/extensions/woocommerce-wpglobus/): adds multilingual capabilities to WooCommerce-based online stores.
* [WPGlobus Plus](http://www.wpglobus.com/shop/extensions/wpglobus-plus/): adds URL fine-tuning, publishing status per translation, multilingual Yoast SEO analysis and more.

= Compatibility with Themes =

WPGlobus works correctly with all themes that apply proper filtering before outputting content.
Some themes incorporate 3rd party plugins (e.g., sliders, forms, composers) - not all of them are 100% multilingual-ready. When you see elements that cannot be translated, please let the theme / plugin authors know. We are ready to help them.

* [WPGlobus Configuration File and a Theme Configuration Case Studies](http://www.wpglobus.com/documentation/wpglobus-configuration-file/)

= Permalinks =

**IMPORTANT:** WPGlobus will not work if your URLs look like `example.com?p=123` or `example.com/index.php/category/post/`.

Please go to `Settings->Permalinks` and change the permalink structure to non-default and with no `index.php` in it. If you are unable to do that for some reason, please talk to your hosting provider / systems administrator.

= Developing on `localhost` or custom ports =

WPGlobus may not work correctly on development servers having URLs like `//localhost/mysite` or on custom ports like `//myserver.dev:3000`. Please use a proper domain name (a fake one from `/etc/hosts` is OK) and port 80.
