FacetWP WPML Multilingual Addon GPL v1.3.0

The FacetWP Multilingual Addon is an extension for the FacetWP plugin that enables support for multilingual websites, allowing you to offer faceted search and filtering features in multiple languages. Here’s an overview of its key features:

1. WPML Support

• Normal Translations: The addon supports standard translations for facets, allowing you to translate facet labels and other elements into different languages.
• Dynamic Strings Support: It works with WPML’s String Translation plugin, enabling translation of dynamic strings like facet placeholder text, making sure all user-facing elements are translated properly.
• Permalink Support: It supports sub-site (e.g., fr.mysite.com) and sub-directory (e.g., mysite.com/fr/) permalink structures for different languages.
• Exclusion: It does not support URL-based language switching using query strings like ?lang=fr, which means the language switching is handled via subdomains or subdirectories.

2. Polylang Support

• The addon also works with Polylang, another popular multilingual plugin for WordPress.
• It supports normal Polylang translations, ensuring that facets and other elements can be translated and displayed correctly across different languages on the site.

3. Seamless Integration

• The addon integrates seamlessly with both WPML and Polylang, making it easy to manage multilingual content and filtering on your WordPress site.
• It ensures that all facets (filtering options) and search results are properly localized and displayed in the user’s selected language.

4. GPL License

• Like other FacetWP addons, the Multilingual Addon is available under the GPL (General Public License), which allows for free use, modification, and distribution, providing flexibility for developers and site owners.

Summary

The FacetWP Multilingual Addon enhances the FacetWP plugin by enabling multilingual support for faceted search and filtering. It supports both WPML and Polylang, making it a great solution for WordPress sites targeting multiple language audiences. It ensures that facets, labels, and dynamic strings are translated correctly, improving the user experience for multilingual sites.
