It is an advanced styling and integration tool that provides a beautiful, customizable interface for the [Transposh Translation Filter plugin](https://transposh.org/download). **LSfT REQUIRES TRANSPOSH TO WORK.** It will not translate your content on its own and cannot be activated unless Transposh is already installed and active. **How to get started:** 1. **First:** Download, install, and activate [Transposh Translation Filter](https://transposh.org/download). Configure your languages in the Transposh settings. 2. **Second:** Install and activate** Language Switcher for Transposh**. You can now choose how to display your flags and language names. **Main Features:** * **Integrated CSS Editor (New in 2.0):** Customize the switcher’s appearance directly from the admin panel with a professional code editor (CodeMirror).*** Safe Customization:** Experiment with confidence! If something goes wrong with your custom styles, you can always restore the original plugin stylesheet with a single click. * **Fast & Smart Loading:** Your custom styles are saved in the database for maximum performance, while keeping the original files untouched as a secure backup. * **Flexbox Powered:** Modernized layout for perfect vertical and horizontal alignment in any theme. * **Automode:** Automatically inject the switcher into your primary or selected WordPress menu. * **Shortcodes & Widgets:** Full support for Shortcodes and Legacy Widgets, compatible with Classic and Block-based themes. *** Admin Tools:** Adds an “Edit Translation” button for authorized roles (Admin, Author, Editor) to quickly toggle the Transposh Editor. ### Switcher Types The version 2.0.0 provides 10 distinct switcher styles: 1. **Horizontal:** Flags only or Code only. 2. **Vertical:** Flags only ir Code only. 3. **Dropdown (Custom JS):** Flags only, Text only, Code only or Flags and Text. 4. **Native Select:** Lightweight browser-native dropdown: Code only or Text only. ## Installation 1. Ensure Transposh is installed and configured. 2. Upload the `cfx-language-switcher-for-transposh` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. 4. Navigate to **Settings > LSfT Settings** to choose your style. ## FAQ ### Why isn’t it translating anything? Please check if Transposh is configured correctly. LSfT only handles the visual switcher. If Transposh is not translating, the issue is likely in the Transposh settings or your Permalinks. ### My switcher doesn’t appear in the menu In Full Site Editing (FSE) themes, the “Automode” may not work. Please use the provided shortcodes or the widget in your navigation block. ### Avada Theme compatibility If you use Avada Theme Builder and the switcher doesn’t appear, we recommend using the [Shortcode in Menus](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-in-menus/) plugin to manually place the LSfT shortcode in your header. ### Page Not Found (404) errors Ensure “Rewrite URLs to be search engine friendly” is enabled in Transposh Settings and your WordPress Permalinks are active. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8da0a11383d2fc567b50922fc26080a5338c9770ab974751b5297109882fb1cc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Greate Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/greate-plugin-164/)󠁿 [daerren](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daerren/) October 29, 2024 It works well on my sites, looks much better . ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/47049d827c71bca5e909113de8e3863f2f139254a9d0edc4bb3c2fd8fbd338f0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great addition! Just one suggestion…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-addition-just-one-suggestion/)󠁿 [Anton_Th](https://profiles.wordpress.org/anton_th/) April 9, 2024 4 replies Great work! The Language Switcher is a valuable addition to an already awesome plugin. The suggestions (and a bug) that I reported were all resolved in an update – within a few hours. I really hope that you and Ofer keep up the good work of improving Transposh. Transposh is the ideal approach for multilanguage sites that have their contents in sync across languages. =============(RESOLVED: I do have one suggestion though: please add an option to choose a flag that distinguishes between en-gb and en-us. Some clients don't want a US flag on their site, some explicitly need a US flag on their site… I now rename the .png files but I'll have to remember doing so after each update. Also I read about a feature to choose between Transposh flags and plugin flags. (TP defaults to US flag, the Switcher plugin defaults to GB flag so that option could solve my specific problem.) I don't see that option. Maybe it's in the "Styles" tab in the Settings page, which is not accessible.) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef6bdaba22c76a578e2f09d5e52a60b3cd2fa641ac2491313f62756708333cdf? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome plugin for Transposh users.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-plugin-for-transposh-users/)󠁿 [Edivaldo A Fontes](https://profiles.wordpress.org/edivaldofontes/) October 2, 2023 1 reply I am a long-time user of Transposh. This plugin has been a powerful tool for me. But, I also use the Avada theme, which makes Transposh use a nightmare. Thanks to the quick support of Marco Gasi, I can now use it on my websites. This plugin works perfectly. Thanks a lot!!! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fcf1c2d123664137639d112c0f832e5ed32e18e451d0b8515f65bd1d52b6202b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Nice plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nice-plugin-4837/)󠁿 [nafamedia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/nafamedia/) January 27, 2023 This plugin is so good, i hope you will make more design for dropdown with flag. coz dropdown with flag you have added not working to my site. but actually this is a great plugin for transposh ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fd1b9143988de5a7618b651757a49e7f72623a1bf5818eaa3c921140d0d19591? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[a nice tool if you use Transposh](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-nice-tool-if-you-use-transposh/)󠁿 [d_alinus2004](https://profiles.wordpress.org/d_alinus2004/) August 24, 2022 Verry good tools if you use Transposh for translate your website. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5f549a52d6bd29020e3f4cde4b20c80883c99fa03f6302fd382e6772ec2ae1c3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great Transposh Add-On](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-transposh-add-on/)󠁿 [ruudio](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ruudio/) August 18, 2021 1 reply Already the Transposh translator is a standout in making a multi-lingual website. Under the Divi theme, the widget does not work well. But this plugin solves that. It gives us beautiful flags for translation where we need them. Congratulations to Transposh and the developer. Ofer great job and Marco well done.
