The main differentiator for SML is the ability to add multilingual content to your pages without having to duplicate pages and content. A simple custom delimiter will seperate the text in different languages. The appropriate text is then displayed according to the user selection on the language switcher. You can use as many languages as you wish. RTL languages are supported. No need for language packs, or add-ons. You can translate posts, pages, media, categories, post tags, menus, and widgets. The language is set in the plugin settings page by enserting a comma seperated list of languages that you wish to use by using ISO alpha-2 two character language codes. The order of the languages in this list must be followed throughout the site. For exemple, if you add the languages (en, fr) you will have to insert the english text and then the French text in the site content. ### What the Plugin Does #### ❤️ Template translation and show in the correct language Create translations for your WordPress pages without duplicating content, place language switchers where you want. #### 🔁 Language Switcher Use the provided shortcode to insert language switcher Widget. * Use flags, language name, or Dropdown list. * Provided **easy CSS styler**. #### 👁️‍🗨️ Language Visibility Allows you to **show or hide every element** on your website **by language**. #### ⚙️ Simple Editor You can view all languages on the page simultaneously, **no more switching between pages to translate** and no more **duplicate pages** ### Key Features * Simple translation management plugin. * SML is a minamalist translation switcher with no bloat and unnecessary features. * Allows users to insert as many languages as they wish on a single page without having to duplicate content. * You can insert the language switcher where you want by simply pasting a shortcode that is provided. * You can choose what jQuery selectors you want to be able to translate. * You can decide what differentiator (special character) you wish to use to seperate the language text. * You can choose from three switcher types; text, flags, or dropdown. * The language switcher can be easily customized using our convenient CSS styler. #### Installation 1.
