Plugin Description

Lobbit Multilingual translates what your site shows, as it is sent to the visitor. There are no copies of pages and posts to keep in step: you keep editing your site in its main language, and the other languages follow.

It works with any theme and page builder, because it translates the final page: the block editor, Elementor, GeneratePress and the rest, menus, widgets and the texts of the theme alike.

One address per language

• The main language stays at the root of the site: your addresses do not change.
• Every other language lives under its own prefix: /en/, /de/, /fr/…
• The language comes only from the address: visitors are never redirected by the language of their browser, and every language has its own address for search engines.

Translate once, keep it forever

• Write the translations by hand, in a simple editor that lists every text of the site.
• Or generate them once with the AI service you prefer, with your own API key: Claude (Anthropic), ChatGPT (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Grok (xAI) or DeepL. A small site costs a few cents per language, paid to the service directly.
• On WordPress 7.0 and later, a service already connected in Settings → Connectors is used as it is, without entering the key again.
• The translations are saved in your database. Visitors never call the AI service: pages are as fast as before, and nothing is billed per visit or per word.
• A text the service cannot translate is marked, with the reason, and can be retried or written by hand. It is never saved as if it were translated.
• Texts written or corrected by hand are never overwritten.

Search engines

• hreflang links between the languages of every page, with the main language as x-default.
• The lang attribute, the canonical address, og:url and og:locale follow the language of the page; titles, descriptions and the Open Graph texts of Yoast SEO and Rank Math are translated.
• One sitemap per language: in the WordPress sitemap, and in the sitemap index of Yoast SEO and Rank Math.

Language switcher

• In your menus: theme menus, the Elementor menu widget, and also themes that print the menu links themselves. In a row, or as a dropdown that uses the submenus of the theme; with flag, code, name, or flag and code, while colors and fonts stay those of the theme.
• As a floating button in one of the four corners of the page, at the distance you choose. At the top it moves under the header when the header would be covered.
• As a block, or with the shortcode [lobbit_ml_switcher] (style="list" for a row, style="dropdown" for a dropdown).
• Its look is yours, with a live preview: flag, code (IT, EN), name of the language, or flag and code; the flag of each language (English with the flag of the United Kingdom or of the United States, Spanish with Spain or Mexico…); background, text and border colors; rounded corners, from square to pill; small, medium or large; shadow; languages in a row or a dropdown that opens on click and works with the keyboard.
• Flags are images inside the plugin, never emoji: they look the same on every device, Windows included.

What is translated

Paragraphs, headings, menus, buttons and every visible text, with links and bold words kept inside their sentence; the alternative text and title of images; form placeholders and buttons; the title of the page and the meta descriptions for search engines and social networks.

Scripts, styles, code and every element marked translate="no" or with the class notranslate are left as they are.

Free and Pro

The free version is complete: every feature above, in as many languages as you want, translated by hand or with AI. Lobbit Multilingual Pro, available on the website of the developer, adds translated addresses (/en/about-us/ instead of /en/chi-siamo/, for pages, posts and categories), the glossary (terms never translated, or always translated the same way) and support by the developer.

Credits

Flags from flag-icons by Panayiotis Lipiridis, MIT license (see assets/flags/LICENSE-flag-icons.txt). Spain and Serbia use their civil flags.

External services

The plugin connects to an external service only when you ask it to translate from the settings page, and only to the service you chose. It sends the texts of your site to translate, in the main language, together with your API key. Nothing is sent when visitors browse the site.

The scan of the site requests the pages of your own site, from your server.

The plugin includes the Freemius SDK, which handles the optional opt-in, the upgrade to Pro and the Pro license. Freemius is contacted only when you opt in on activation, open the upgrade or account pages of the plugin, activate a Pro license, or send the optional feedback form when deactivating; it then receives the data shown on that screen (such as the address of your site, the versions of WordPress, PHP and the plugin, and your email address when you opt in).
