Configuration

Default Languages

By default, the plugin installs English and Dutch. To use different languages, add this filter to your theme's functions.php:

add_filter('stm_default_languages', function($languages) {
    return [
        [
            'code' => 'es',
            'name' => 'Spanish',
            'native_name' => 'Español',
            'is_default' => 1,
            'flag_emoji' => '🇪🇸',
            'order_index' => 1
        ],
        [
            'code' => 'fr',
            'name' => 'French',
            'native_name' => 'Français',
            'is_default' => 0,
            'flag_emoji' => '🇫🇷',
            'order_index' => 2
