The default English slug will be ‘en’. You can create any that you want. For example, for US and UK English, I’d create ‘en_US’ and ‘en_UK’. You can edit this in your site in WPML->Languages->Edit languages.

So, essentially I can generate a complete list of english variants. Whats the default variant for English. Is there a demo site where I can try out these features, before I decide to adopt this in our proposed CMS site ?

You can add as many custom languages as you want. Go to WPML->Languages->Edit languages for that.

I would be really keen to know if WPML will support languages for different countries, e.g. English in UK (en GB) is different from that in US (en US). If it already allows, Would be great if someone can share the details.

Hi! It would be great if I could use more than one site logo (and footer logo if possible) e.g. an english logo for my english pages, and a logo in local language for other languages. Because in many occasions, the tagline, or a slogan is embedded in the logo image, and it is left untranslated when the page language changes. see below in my page, the page is turkish, but the logo says “Business Development & Marketing Solutions”: http://www.pro-bd.com/tr/

keep up the great work!

I think there are lots of improvements apart from the listed above. Working with this plug-in has been a real pain, especially for cms wordpress installations. Completely agree with Staffan.

On top of my wish list of things to to add for WPML I’d say admin slug rewrite option for custom post types. It’s easily more important than not being able to style the language switcher (it’s so easy to create one of those by yourself).
Say you’re adding a CPT and want two different slugs to present the posts’ parents with their respective translation. Sure you can add 1 CPT for each language but if the option existed it would be a whole lot more effective.

You need to control the z-index for WPML’s language selector. To do this, add the following to your CSS:

#lang_sel { z-index:9; }

In language-selector.css it’s first line of res/css/language-selector.css.

The Language selector is not compatible with lightbox. The switcher does not shade, when it should. Do you have a suggestion? I tried to set up a custom language switcher, but after several fatal errors I gave up.

Thanks

Hi!

Could you please suggest a mod to the standard CSS in language-selector.css (or wherever) to alter the Selector so that all options would be visible (not hidden) and they’d be listed left-to-right instead of top-to-bottom?

Thanks!
