Deze plugin **is niet getest met de laatste 3 grotere versies van WordPress**. Mogelijk
wordt het niet meer onderhouden of ondersteund. Ook kunnen er compatibiliteitsproblemen
ontstaan wanneer het wordt gebruikt met recentere versies van WordPress.

### 󠀁[Great plugin for multilanguage sites with own wordpress installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/just-what-i-was-searching-for-3/)󠁿

 [Fabian_Niesen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/fabian_niesen/) 28 november 2023

<!– wp:paragraph –> <p class="">I have tried my bilingual blog with different approaches,
multisite with plugins, and single site with plugins. The best an also cost cost-
effective solution ended up in two separate WordPress blogs with a unique domain
for each language. This plug-in helps to link the articles with an available translation.

Themes like twenty-twentytree or twenty-twenty four are supported. </p> <!– /wp:

### 󠀁[Good But Cryptic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-cryptic/)󠁿

 [Pat K](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackcapdesign/) 3 september 2016

I have been searching for a simple and supported method for switching between a 
2-language version of the same site; 2 WordPress installations, 2 databases and 
NO multisite. I'm giving this 4 stars because it works and does exactly what I need.
The ONLY reason I'm NOT giving it 5 stars is because it's cryptic as hell. I realize
the plugin developer has freely donated his time to create and share the plugin.
Yay. Thanks! If the developer really wants it to be accessible and user-friendly,
I suggest doing one or more of the following (bearing in mind that many people using
the plugin are not professional coders): – Provide up to date written documentation,
including examples of how the plugin can be used in a theme. – Provide some screenshots
of how to properly configure the plugin settings. – Provide some FAQs reflecting
some of the common questions being asked in the support forum. – Provide a basic
bilingual demo. If you're like me and you only need basic switching between 2 sites,
pop this into the header.php file on each site: <?php the_bilingual_link(); ?> …
despite what it says in the "instructions". Thus endeth my rant.
