Este plugin **no se ha probado con las últimas 3 versiones mayores de WordPress**.
Puede que ya no tenga soporte ni lo mantenga nadie, o puede que tenga problemas 
de compatibilidad cuando se usa con las versiones más recientes de WordPress.

## Descripción

**Version not compatible with php 8+ – maxi php7.4.33

**xili-language provides for a bilingual (or multilingual) website an automatic 
selection of language (.mo) in theme according to the language of current post(s)
or page. Theme’s behaviour can be fully personalized through settings, hooks and
api. Ready for CMS developers and designers.**

 * W A R N I N G – see [tab and chapters in changelog](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/#developers)–
   further versions are in [github repository](https://github.com/dev-xiligroup/)
 * xili-language plugin provides an automatic selection of language in theme according
   to the language of displayed post, series of posts, page or articles. _If the
   post is in gaelic, the texts of the theme will be in gaelic if the author checks
   the post as gaelic and if the theme contains the right .mo file for this target
   language._
 * A very readable interface with a list of titles (and links) to help you write/
   edit/modify articles and their translations.
 * To help authoring, current user can choose language of his dashboard.
 * xili-language select _on the fly_ the multilingual .mo files present in the theme’s
   folder (no cookies, no redirections like «301»).
 * xili-language uses a custom taxonomy to specify language of post, page and custom
   post. **Full compatible with WP JSON REST API**
 * xili-language plugin works on WordPress installation in mono (standalone) or 
   on one site belonging to a multisite (network) install.
 * xili-language plugin works on WordPress installation for WebApp with JSON REST
   API – see [changelog](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/#developers)
   because [WP JSON REST API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/) 1.2.1
   in under full development but yet powerful.
 * As _educational plateform_ in constant changing since 2009, xili-language trilogy
   tries to use most of the WordPress Core functions and features (Custom taxonomy,
   API, metabox, pointer, help, pomo libraries, …). The options are adjustable.

#### TESTERS WANTED

According some users, current versions can be stable with recent WP versions. BUT
since 2 years, a new version is fully rewritten and tested in few websites. These
new versions are available in Github and here in WP repository in tag [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/advanced/).
Your feedback will be very valuable.

#### Version 2.21.3

 * fixes issues (thanks to patchstack.com)

#### Version 2.21.2

 * Last Updated 2017-04-17 (readme for new look of plugins repository – tested in
   websites with WP 4.7.3), further versions are in github
 * W A R N I N G – see [tab and chapters in changelog](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/#developers)

> optionally (if bbPress active) included. An option is also added in Experts tab
> of settings.

   ready like twentyfourteen) can be easily used (and improved) for realtime multilingual
   sites.

   xili-dictionary – _see below_ ).
 * see [this page in wiki.xiligroup.org](http://wiki.xiligroup.org/index.php/Xili-language:_Getting_started,_prerequisites).

#### What to prepare before and during installation before activating

#### Links and documentation to read before activating

#### Other compatible plugins by xiligroup dev

**TRILOGY FOR MULTILINGUAL CMS WEBSITE**
 including [xili-language plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/)

Please verify that you have installed the latest versions of:

 * [xili-dictionary plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-dictionary/): With
   xili-dictionary, it is easier to create or update online, via admin/dashboard
   UI, the files .mo of each language.
 * [xili-tidy-tags plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-tidy-tags/): With 
   xili-tidy-tags, it is now possible to display sub-selection (cloud) of **tags**
   according language and semantic trans-language group (trademark,…).

#### That this plugin does not

_With around 8000 php lines, xili-language is not everything…_

 * xili-language plugin **does not create additional tables in the database**, do
   not create cookies and only use 4 lines in Options table. xili-language simply
   makes proper use of the taxonomy tables and postmeta table offered by WordPress
   to define language and link items between them. Because xili-language plugin 
   does not modify deeply the post edit UI, it is possible to use **iPhone / iPod
   Touch** WordPress app to prepare and draft the post.
 * xili-language plugin does not replace the author or the editor. No automatic 
   translation. Content strategist is the master of the languages, the contents 
   and the navigation inside the website. With xili-dictionary, webmaster can translate
   the theme’s items and when .mo files are in place, xili-dictionary can be deactivated.
   For design, the creator is free to choose text or graphic. xili-language does
   not provide flags (or few as example in child-theme example like [twentytwelve-xili](http://2012.wpmu.xilione.com))!

#### Newbie, WP user, Developer,…

 * Dear **Newbie:** originally built for webmaster and developer, the plugin trilogy
   progress since 6 years to be more and more plug and play for newbies who can 
   read and spend a little time mainly for translation.
 * xili-language is also dedicated for theme’s creator or webmaster with knowledges
   in CMS and WP and having (or not) tools to create .mo language files. Through
   API (hook), the plugin add automatic tools (or links or filters) for sidebar 
   or top menus. Categories or Archives lists are translated also.
 * xili-language provides also series of functions which can be _hooked_ in the 
   functions.php file of the theme that you create i.e. for a cms like multilingual
   website.

#### Licence, donation, services, «as is», …

Contrary to popular belief, _GPL doesn’t say that everything must be zero-cost_,
just that when you receive the software (plugin or theme) that it not restrict your
freedoms in how you use it. _Free open source plugin does not mean free services_

## Instalación

READ CAREFULLY ALL THE README FILE AND PREREQUISITES

Read this [recent page](http://2014.extend.xiligroup.org/en/description-and-features/xili-language-first-installation-by-vladimir/)
and also [wiki](http://wiki.xiligroup.org) for older versions and features.

 1. Upload the folder containing `xili-language.php` and language files to the `/wp-
    content/plugins/` directory,
 2. Verify that your theme is international compatible – translatable terms like `_e('
    the term','mytheme')` and no text hardcoded – and contains .mo and .po files for
    each target language – (application poEdit and/or plugin [xili-dictionary](http://dev.xiligroup.com/xili-dictionary/)
    can be used)
 3. Verify that a domain name is defined in your theme – see note at end list below,
 4. Activate the plugin through the _‘Plugins’_ menu in WordPress,
 5. Go to the dashboard settings tab – languages – and adapt default values if necessary
    by adding your languages in the catalog. You can set the order (1,2,3…) of the 
    series. (used in `language_attributes()` template_tag).
 6. Modify each post by setting (checking) the language in xili-language box (under
    the content box) before publishing.
 7. Other settings and parts (Browser detection, widgets, shortcode, template tags)
    see below… and examples.

Some steps to prepare a rich installation:

#### Tabs of settings

Settings are progressively reorganized in 6 tabs:

 1. **Languages list**: Where you define the list of languages needed in your multilingual
    website.
 2. **Languages front-end settings**: Where you define some rules and behaviour when
    visitor arrives in the website or navigates inside.
 3. **Settings for experts**: Where experts are able to set and recovers previous sets.(
    backwards compatibility)
 4. **Managing language files**: To import .mo files for theme or dashboard (if available
    in GlotPress or Automattic servers).
 5. **Managing Authoring rules**: To define rules and settings in the dashboard side
    and help authoring.
 6. **xili-language support**: A form to send an email to xiligroup support.

(online help on the top right tab for each settings page)

#### Additional infos

 1. Before using your own theme, to understand how xili-language works, install the
    example child theme of one of the bundled themes like TwentyFourteen shown in this
    commented [demo site](http://2014.extend.xiligroup.org).
 2. Child of bundled themes include a navigation menu – [see links in FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/xili-language/faq/)-.
    In xili-language settings, it is possible to insert automatically languages list
    in the menu previously set by you.
 3. If you are webmaster and want to add lot of personalizations in your theme, read
    source and visit [latest news](http://2014.extend.xiligroup.org).

#### Browser detection for visitors or authors

To change the language of the frontpage according to the language of the visitor’s
browser, check the popup in right small box in settings.
 To change the default 
language of a new post according to the language of the author’s browser, check 
the popup in right small box in settings.

#### xili-language and widgets

Three widgets are created to enrich sidebar : list of languages, recent posts and
recent comments with sub-selection according current language.

#### xili-language and shortcode

SHORTCODE to add a link to other language inside content of a post like:

    ```
    [linked-post-in lang="fr_fr"]Voir cet article[/linked-post-in]
    ```

by default use context ‘linktitle’ for translation ‘A similar post in %s’ text of
link title attribut.

SHORTCODE to display only content if current language:

    ```
    [xili-show-if lang=fr_FR ]contenu de la page boutique multilingue[/xili-show-if]
    ```

param lang can be ISO or slug.

SHORTCODE to insert translated msgid content according current language

Easy to insert .mo item in your current content.
 [xili18n msgid=’yes’] domain by
default is here theme textdomain [xili18n msgid=’yes’ ctxt=’front’ textdomain=’default’]
above it is the WP core textdomain

SHORTCODE to insert URL of flag set with a language:
 [xili-flag lang=’fr_FR’] returns
url of french flag

#### xili-language and template tags

 * xili-language «_translates_» template tags and permits some variations for webmasters:

The most current template tags don’t need special work: `wp_list_categories()`, `
wp_title()`,…

    ```
    wp_get_archives
    ```

Possible that very special permalinks need to use hook named `xiliml_get_archives_link`.–

Sub selection of archives for `wp_get_archives()` with &lang= (see § below)

    ```
    wp_list_pages() with optional query tag &lang=
    ```

 * xili-language «_provides_» new template tags (or widgets) to solve issues from
   WP core or add new features for CMS:
 * xili_language_list() – outside loop (sidebar) display the languages of the site(
   used also by widget)
 * xiliml_the_category() – replace the_category() template tag of WP Core

improved `xiliml_the_others_posts()` function and theme tag to be used in multilingual
category loop and by option (array) to return an array of linked posts in other 
languages (useful for CMS webmasters) (array of lang and id ) – the id is easily
transformable in permalink with function `get_permalink()` when using this array.

#### xili-language and specific functions

Requires knowledges in php and WP !
 After class in sources files, some functions
are available – see sources for details.

 * `the_curlang()` returns by default the slug of the current language of the displayed
   webpage (alias `xili_curlang()` since 2.11+). If param is specified, return ISO,
   Full Name or alias of current webpage – see sources –
 * `is_xili_curlang( $lang )` tests (returns true or false) after testing language
   of current webpage. Param can be a language slug (as string) or a list of slugs(
   as an array). Example: `is_xili_curlang( 'fr_fr' )` returns true if webpage is
   in french – since 2.11+
 * widget for recent comments that can subselect those for current language. (a 
   function `xiliml_recent_comments()` is also available if you want to create a
   template tag with resulting objects array).

#### Archives selection

Archives tags is a very complex template tag in his background and not very easy
source hookable. So we decided to add few features : by adding query in vars of 
the function, it will be possible to display a monthly list of archives for a selected
language – `wp_get_archives('..your.vars..&lang=fr_fr')` – or the current the theme
language – `wp_get_archives('..your.vars..&lang=')` -. The displayed list of links
will be translated and link restrited to display only archives of this language.

where you have add the .po and .mo files. Don’t forget to fill the header of the.
po file with your name and email. If all is ok, the files will be added to the xili-
language WP plugins repository. Because I am not able to verify the content, you
remain responsible of your translation.

### What about bookmarks and sub-selection according current language of displayed loop ?

Since version 1.8.5, xili-language has inside his class filters and actions to permit
displaying sub-selection of links and bookmarks.

 * case of default widget-links : in xili-language settings, only check link categories
   where sub-selection is wanted.

   >` here this new arg named _lang_ is set to the current language.

Visit links list editor settings page and set for each link the language.

### What happens if frontpage is a page ?

The page as frontpage must have its clones in each other languages. Like for posts,
if the user’s browser is not in the default language, xili-language will display
the page in the corresponding language if set by the editor. [home page of website dev.xiligroup.com](http://dev.xiligroup.com/)
uses this feature.

### How to enlarge languages list of the dashboard ?

Since version 2.8, the current user (author) can choose language of his dashboard.
To enlarge list of available languages, you must upload the xx_YY.mo files of other
localized WP installs in the folder wp-content/languages/. For example, here a list
for a trilingual website (english, french, german : fr_FR.mo, de_DE.mo.
 See this
[codex page](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language) _about WP in
your language_ to find kit containing wanted files.

Since 2.8.8, xili-language is able to help you to download admin translation files
from Automattic and GlotPress site. See the 4th tab in settings. For official embedded
themes ( Twentyten and others), the .mo files can also be downloaded.

Xili language is not compatible with WP 4.6. Activation of the plugin results in
Error 500, or some unspecified database error. Considering that Xili language is
meant to be one of the core plugins of a multilingual site, this is a disaster. 
Deactivation creates havoc on a site: menus disappear, all content gets all mixed
up.

Hi, I installed the plugin just for testing purposes with my multisite installation,
then I activated it on just one of the blogs and then deactivated it and went to
Network admin to delete it. However, I receive the following error message that 
I cannot delete it: Impossible to erase plugin settings in multisite mode – need
to done site by site before erasing folder ! How can I delete that plugin now? Thanks

### 󠀁[Ok, but not intuitive and the language is confusing](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ok-but-not-intuitive-and-the-language-is-confusing-3/)󠁿

 [Elias Mossholm](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elias-mossholm/) 7 de febrero de

This plugin is on the way to become useful but it has two major problems: • The 
UI is not as self-explanatory as it ought to be. • The poor English used in parts
of the plugin and in parts of the documentation makes it hard to understand what
to do at times. An example of the former is that while it’s easy to find how to 
translate posts (just click the «Create and edit» link in the «Translations of this
post» section below the editing area for the post) – there is no obvious pointer
to how to make the language menu appear. If you search through the settings you 
are likely to find it eventually (I did) but some kind of hint of how to do it when
you start translating would have been very helpful. (Hint: go to «Appearance» –>«
Menus» in the general settings and add the xili language menu. It’d be great if 
there were some kind of warning in the xili language plugin if this hasn’t been 
done (or at least some kind of hint the first time you add a translation).) A getting
started guide would be really helpful too. There is a forum and a blog but they 
mostly address random questions and information about plugin updates, not how to
get started. Even the FAQ doesn’t show the necessary steps to get it up and running
to the point that you have (i) a translated post and (ii) a working language menu
which also (iii) changes the language of the interface. The second point (poor English)
is only a minor nuisance sometimes, and sometimes it makes it pretty hard to understand
what should be done. In the text below, for example, I understand that I should 
be careful about checking the checkbox below the text and that all the xili-language
data will be erased if I do check it, but I don’t get the part about doing it after
deactivating the plugin (what happens if I don’t deactivate the plugin first, is
it still bad or nothing happens?) and I assume «(only multilingual features)» is
trying to reassure me that the posts themselves will remain intact but I’m not certain
I got that right: «CAUTION: When checking below, after deactivating xili-language
plugin, if delete it through plugins list, ALL the xili-language datas in database
will be definitively ERASED !!! (only multilingual features). See Wiki for more 
details» A cleanup of the language both in the plugin itself and in the documentation
would be really helpful. Duplicate: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ok-but-not-
intuitive-and-the-language-is-confusing?replies=1

as web designer the long story (versioning) since WP 2.3 providing more more features.

   will be easier to link posts according languages with widget.
 * for previous users of navigation menus : v2.1.0 is compatible with settings of

 * fixes unexpected rewritting (when permalinks is set) and fixes query of category

#### 1.3.x to 1.4.2a (2010-04-03)

 * Rename two filters for compatibility with filters renamed by WP3.0. Incorporate
   posts edit UI modifications of WP3.0.
 * no unwanted message in homepage when theme-domain is not defined – plugin must
   be activated AFTER theme domain settings.
 * improved template_tags : xiliml_the_category, xiliml_the_other_posts (see source
   doc)
 * Browser’s window title now translated for categories (`wp_title()`). Option in
   post edit UI to auto-search linked posts in other languages – [see this post](http://dev.xiligroup.com/?p=1498).
 * New option to adapt the home query according rules defined by chief editor. If
   home page loop is filled by most recent posts (via index or home.php), formerly,
   by default xili-language is able to choose the theme’s language but not to sub-
   select the loop (without php coding). Now when checking in Settings _‘Modify 
   home query’_ – no need to be a php developer.
 * New widget for **recent posts** (able to choose language). This new widget solves
   conflicts or issues occuring when WP default widget is present (contains an _obscur_`
   wp_reset_query`). Also a choice of language of this list of recent posts is possible–
   not necessary the same of the current page. And you can install multiple widgets.**
   Replace WP Recent Posts widget by this one named** – _List of recent posts_ –
 * New functions to change and restore loop’s language query-tag (see functions 
   [table](http://dev.xiligroup.com/?p=1432) ).
 * Better dashboard post UI to create linked post (and page): _from one post, it
   possible to create linked post in another language and the links are prefilled.
   Just need to save draft to save the links between root and translated posts filled
   by authors._ [See](http://dev.xiligroup.com/?p=1498)
 * fixes lost languages’s link when trash or untrash (WP 2.9.1).
