Readme github.com/adikica/coco-multilingual-wordpress-plugin ↗

A modern multilingual management plugin for WordPress.
Designed for agencies and advanced developers who want full control over multilingual content, translation groups, locale-aware routing, and clean editorial workflows — without relying on heavy translation suites.

🚀 Features

🧩 Translation Groups

  • Group pages, posts, and custom post types under a single “translation group”
  • Each group contains one post per locale (e.g. EN, IT, FR, DE)
  • Perfect for custom themes, headless apps, and clean multilingual architectures

🔤 Locale Management

  • Store locale via _coco_locale (e.g. en, it, fr)
  • Store group link via _coco_group_id
  • Optional: mark a group as the “homepage group” for automatic locale home routing

🧱 Create Missing Translations

Inside the multilingual admin screen you can:

✔ Create a blank post for the missing locale
✔ Move an existing post into the group
✔ NEW: Clone From Group – duplicate an existing translation

  • Copies title, content, excerpt
  • Copies ACF fields and post meta
  • Copies taxonomies
  • Auto-generates a unique slug (e.g. /contact-us-fr/)
  • Assigns it to the correct group + locale
  • Saves as draft for editing

This allows you to build new translations fast while keeping the same layout and structure.

🏡 Homepage Locale Routing

  • Detect requests to /
  • Serve the correct page for your default locale
  • Prevent duplicate homepage URLs (e.g. /en/home/ → /)
  • SEO-safe redirects for translated homepage slugs

🧭 Language Switcher Shortcode

A developer-friendly shortcode:

Outputs a locale-aware language dropdown or inline switcher using your theme.

🧱 Developer-First Architecture

  • PHP 8.3+
  • Namespaces + autoloading
  • No legacy WPML/Polylang dependencies
  • Clean separation of admin, frontend, and routing logic
  • Easy to integrate with custom themes, block themes, and headless setups

🆕 What’s New

✨ Clone From Group (vX.X)

You can now create a missing translation by cloning an existing locale inside the same group.

This clones:

  • Title
  • Content (HTML + blocks)
  • Excerpt
  • Meta fields (except internal editor keys)
  • ACF fields
  • Taxonomies
  • Menu order / parents

Then assigns:

  • Correct _coco_group_id
  • Correct _coco_locale
  • New unique slug
  • Draft status

This gives you identical layout + structure → ready for your manual translation.

(AI-assisted translation will be added as a separate module later.)

🔧 How It Works

The plugin provides:

  • Admin screen: /wp-admin/admin.php?page=coco-groups-page
  • Group table for each post type
  • One row per group
  • One column per locale

Each cell shows one of:

  • Published (with Edit / View)
  • Draft (with Edit)
  • Missing (with Create, Move, Clone)
