Descrição

Bogo is a straight-forward multilingual plugin for WordPress.

The core of WordPress itself has the built-in localization capability so you can use the dashboard and theme in one language other than English. Bogo expands this capability to let you easily build a multilingual blog on a single WordPress install.

Here are some technical details for those interested. Bogo plugin assigns one language per post. It plays nice with WordPress – Bogo does not create any additional custom table on your database, unlike some other plugins in this category. This design makes Bogo a solid, reliable and conflict-free multilingual plugin.

Getting started with Bogo

  1. Install language packs

    First, install language packs for languages you use on the site. You can view and install language packs in the Language Packs screen (Languages > Language Packs).

  2. Select your language for admin screen

    Bogo lets each logged-in user select a language for their admin screen UI. Select a language from the menu on the Toolbar, or from the menu in the Profile screen (Users > Your Profile) if the Toolbar is invisible.

  3. Translate your posts and pages

    To create a translation post, go to the editor screen for the original post and find the Language box. Bogo does only make a copy of the post; translating the copied post is your task.

  4. Add language switcher widgets

    It would be useful for site visitors if you have a language switcher on your site. Bogo provides the Language Switcher widget in the Widgets screen (Appearance > Widgets).

    You can also use the [bogo] shortcode to put a language switcher inside a post content. If you want to use this shortcode in your theme’s template files, embed the following code into the template:

    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[bogo]' ); ?>
    

Privacy notices

With the default configuration, this plugin, in itself, does not:

  • track users by stealth;
  • write any user personal data to the database;
  • send any data to external servers;

I’ve used WPML, and hated every minute with that bloated monstrosity. So I switched to Polylang Pro. A far better solution, which I’ve been using for many years on various websites. But then I had a client who didn’t want to pay for Polylang Pro. So I decided to have another look at the market to see what was out there. As a developer, the principles of DRY, KISS and YAGNI are my guiding stars. So I wanted to find a plugin that matched these principles, and I found Bogo. At first, I was a bit sceptical. Could such a seemingly simple plugin meet my requirements? After testing it on a few websites, I have to say I’ve found the best multilingual plugin for WordPress out there. Sure, it has its rough edges and, out of the box, it’s no more capable than any other multilingual WordPress plugin of handling every conceivable configuration and integration. But it’s been very easy for me to write a simple mu-plugin to solve the specific needs I’ve had, and with AI, anyone can do it. That’s why I’m giving Bogo five out of five stars and my very warmest recommendations.

Solid multilingual plugin for simple projects like brochure site or blog. There are many action hooks and filters for developers to use. Despite the lack of comments, they’re relatively easy to understand.

There are some functionalities needed that should be in the core like change the post language, or linking to another post. Do you have a repository to contribute?

I learned about this plugin a day ago. Tested the plugin today. It just works! Choosing another language in a page creates a copy, and you can edit the page or post as you wish. The BOGO shortcode works immediately, so the reader can switch from one language to another. I just wonder why everyone else makes a language plugin / switcher so difficult! Okay, the menu and footer remain the same when changing language, but for a simple multi-language site and using as many international terms as possible, it’s the perfect language plugin!

Thank you, Takayuki Miyoshi. Bogo is exactly what developers crave: minimal, transparent, and fast. No custom DB tables, one post per language, clean URLs, simple switcher—built on top of WordPress’ native localization.From a Developer standpoint, it extends naturally (clean hooks), plays nicely with ACF/CPT, and the [bogo] shortcode gets you running fast—then you can build a custom language selector for full control.Only gripe: documentation is thin; many filters/entry points are discoverable only by reading the source. A concise official guide (hooks overview, CPT/taxonomy examples) would make Bogo unbeatable for developers.Bottom line: for code-first teams, Bogo is fresh air compared to bulky suites: it does a few things, does them well, and stays out of your way.
