## Description

This plugin assumes you have a site in two or more languages, and that you are using
a separate WordPress install for each language. It helps you create links between
the same pages in different
 language versions.

You should have a pattern of parallel sites with urls like http://stephanie-booth.
com/en/, http://stephanie-booth.com/de/, http://stephanie-booth.com/fr/. Maybe the
page
 http://stephanie-booth.com/en/about is equivalent to the page http://stephanie-
booth.com/fr/a-propos. The plugin adds a DBX box in the edit/create page admin form,
named “Other Language Slugs”. In this case, you’d edit the “about” page, and paste
the fr slug (“a-propos”) in the appropriate field.

The plugin will then display a small link to the page in the other language at the
bottom of your page, or in your menu bar if you’re using a Sandbox-based theme.

Careful! This only works for Pages, not posts!

For intelligent user redirection when they land on the home page, you might want
to try using the technique described here: http://climbtothestars.org/archives/2007/
12/28/browser-language-detection-and-redirection/

### Future Development

Here’s what I’d like this plugin to do, someday:

 * automatically capture URLs like http://stephanie-booth.com/en/a-propos and redirect
   them to http://stephanie-booth.com/en/about (that’s what happens when people 
   edit URLs directly, just replacing
    the language code — I do it all the time)

## Installation

 1. Upload the `language-linker` directory into `/wp-content/plugins/`
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
 3. Edit the settings at the beginning of the plugin file to indicate what languages
    you are working with.
 4. Start linking!

## FAQ

  Is this compatible with other language/translation plugins?

No idea, sorry. Let me know if you discover anything exciting.

  Does it work with more than two languages?

Yes. Unlike Basic Bilingual, Language Linker allows you to create links between 
as many different linguistic versions of your site as you wish. You just need to
specify the languages in the settings
 at the top of the plugin file.

  Aren’t there more complete plugins out there if I want to make all my content 
available in more than one language?

Yes, there certainly are. My approach is to keep it simple and minimal, so that 
it works.

  Can I make the links to the other languages appear elsewhere?

Yes, but you need to get your hands dirty. The function `bll_embed_slug_links` controls
if the links go after or before the content. If you want them completely elsewhere,
you need to comment out the
 line `add_action('the_content', 'bll_embed_slug_links');`
by adding “//” in front of it (or deleting it, but that’s not recommended), and 
use the template tag `bll_the_slug_links()`. Just paste `<?php bll_the_slug_links();?
>` in your template where you want the links to appear.

  I don’t like the [lg] notation, couldn’t we have flags?

[Flags should never be used as a symbol of language](http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/flags.html).
Languages and countries don’t match. If you’d rather replace the square brackets
with curly ones or
 other fancy stuff, you can try editing the function `bll_make_the_slug_link()`
if you can figure it out.
