## Beskrivelse

A simple, powerful, and user-friendly plugin that adds multilingual support to your
[WordPress multisite](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/create-a-network/)
installation, whether using multiple subdomains or folders. Multisite Language Switcher
allows you to effortlessly manage translations for posts, pages, custom post types,
categories, tags, and custom taxonomies.

The plugin uses flag icons from [FamFamFam](http://famfamfam.com). Thanks to Mark
James for his great work. In addition, I would like to thank [Jürgen Mayer](https://creativpin.com)
for creating the plugin’s banner.

## FAQ

### Jeg har ikke nogen sprogvalg i de Generelle Indstillinger.

You might read first [WordPress in your language](https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_in_Your_Language).

### But I’d like the interface to stay in English.

You can choose the language of the dashboard in the settings of your user profile.

### Do I need a multisite?

Det er op til dig – selvfølgelig. Men ja, hvis du vil bruge vores Multisite Language
Switcher.

### Hvordan kan jeg automatisk omdirigere brugere baseret på browserens sprog?

The Multisite Language Switcher does not redirect the users automatically. I’m not
sure if the plugin should do that. You might check out this [jQuery plugin](https://github.com/danieledesantis/jquery-language-detection)
or [this approach with a theme](https://github.com/oncleben31/Multisite-Language-Switcher-Theme)

if you need such functionality.

### Hvordan kan jeg tilføje Multisite Language Switcher til navigationsmenuen på min blog?

Tjek venligst add-on’et [MslsMenu](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mslsmenu/) ud.

### Jeg vil gerne have sprogene i en HTML select. Hvordan kan jeg gøre det?

Tjek venligst add-on’et [MslsSelect](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mslsselect/) 
ud.

### Can I call a function to get the language of the page the user is viewing?

Yes, you should use the WordPress API function `get_locale()` but you could also
use code like that

    ```
    use lloc\Msls\MslsBlogCollection;

    $blog     = MslsBlogCollection::instance()->get_current_blog();
    $language = $blog->get_language();
    ```

### If I have another question, where can I ask?

Please visit the [MSLS website](https://msls.co/) or use the [WordPress support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/multisite-language-switcher)
for more information.

I gave up the chaotic WPML, MSLS is the solution to deal with multilingual site.

Simple yet universally functional. Every language is separate sub-site, so you can
have them identical or as different as necessary and plugin provides means to tie
it all together. Have been using it for years and never disappointed.

At first I had some trouble with the plugin. But now – I wouldn’t want to be without
it! I really like the plugin’s functional simplicity! Thanks, Dennis, for this wonderful
plugin!

I think we still need to wait some time before WordPress core implementation for
Multilingual sites. See WordPress roadmap I’ve tried WPML in the past but did not
really like it. Haven’t tried Polylang plugin yet In my opinion the best setup for
multilingual sites is a wordpress multisite setup. Then this great Multisite Language
Switcher plugin is the way to go. Simply loving it and also top support deserves
a 5 * star rating please keep up the good work you’re doing! greetingsBecki

I always use this plugin when creating multi-language multisite wordpress sites.
Easy to set up and very useful. Top-rate support too

 [Gunther H.](https://profiles.wordpress.org/highlive/) 7. maj, 2024

There is a learning curve and i think someone should make a tutorial how to implement
the language switcher and menu and how to work with it. But after all a great plugin.
