Title: Flex Translate Author: Flex Plugins Published: ነሐሴ 13, 2026 Last modified: ነሐሴ 13, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/flex-translate/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3645631) ![](https://ps.w.org/flex-translate/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3645631) # Flex Translate By [Flex Plugins](https://profiles.wordpress.org/flexfields/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/flex-translate.1.3.2.zip) * [Details](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/flex-translate/#description) * [Reviews](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/flex-translate/#reviews) * [Installation](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/flex-translate/#installation) * [Development](https://am.wordpress.org/plugins/flex-translate/#developers) [ድጋፍ](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/flex-translate/) ## ማብራሪያ **Flex Translate** is a lightweight, developer-friendly plugin for multilingual WordPress sites. * **Text translations** with `ft( 'code' )` and `ft_get( 'code' )` * **Content translations** for posts and pages (same slug per language) * **Path-based URLs** such as `/ru/about` and `/en/contact` * **Language switcher** helper with optional flag images * **Per-language fonts** (self-hosted uploads or optional Google Fonts by family name) * **Taxonomy term** name/description translations * Clean uninstall (tables, options, and meta removed) #### External services Optionally, when you enter a Google Font family name in **Manage Fonts**, the plugin builds a Google Fonts stylesheet URL and loads it on the front end for visitors of that language. This is optional; you can use self-hosted font files instead. Users never paste arbitrary CSS/JS. * Service: [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/) * Terms: [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms) * Privacy: [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) No Google Fonts requests are made unless you choose a Google Font family for a language. #### Privacy Flex Translate stores language settings, translation strings, and optional font settings in your WordPress database. It does not send site content to Flex Translate servers. If you enable Google Fonts, browsers may request font files from Google; see the links above. ## መጫን 1. Upload the `flex-translate` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the zip via **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**. 2. Activate **Flex Translate**. 3. Go to **Flex Translate Languages** and add your languages (set one as default). 4. Optionally configure fonts under **Manage Fonts** and string translations under** Text Translations**. 5. For posts/pages, use the **Translation** sidebar to assign a language or duplicate into another language. 6. Visit **Settings Permalinks** and click **Save** once after activation (or after adding languages) so rewrite rules refresh. ## የተለመዱ ጥያቄዎች ### How do I show a translated string? Use these helpers in your theme templates: ``` ft( 'main' ); // echoes the translation $val = ft_get( 'main' ); // returns the translation ``` ### What URL format does the plugin use? Clean path-based URLs: /ru/about, /am/contact. The default language has no prefix(/ about) unless you enable “Prefix for Default Language” in Settings. ### Can posts share the same slug in different languages? Yes. For example /test-page (default) and /ru/test-page can use the same slug when each has a different language assigned. ### How do I show a language switcher? echo ft_language_switcher(); ### Does the plugin require Google Fonts? No. Google Fonts are optional. Prefer uploading `.woff2` / `.woff` / `.ttf` / `. otf` files in Manage Fonts if you want fully self-hosted fonts. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Flex Translate” is open source software.
