This is a Multilingual Wordpress functions to detect a language by pretty URLs like.. `domain.com/en/` `domain.com/postname/en/` `domain.com/pagetname/en/` Add this code in your `functions.php` After added code go to `wp-admin/options-permalink.php` press `Save Changes` So you can use `<?php echo lang();?>` `<?php if( lang() === "en" ) ?>` In yo…

functions.php

function lang_support() {
    return array('en','fr'); // Add your support lang-code (1st place is a default)
}

function rewrite_lang(){
    $langs = lang_support();
    foreach($langs as $lang) {
        add_rewrite_endpoint($lang,EP_PERMALINK|EP_PAGES|EP_ROOT|EP_CATEGORIES);
    }
}
add_action('init','rewrite_lang');

function lang(){
    global $wp_query;
    $langs = lang_support();
    $lang_r = "";
    foreach($langs as $lang) {
        if(isset($wp_query->query_vars[$lang])) {
            $lang_r = $lang;
            $_SESSION['lang'] = $lang_r;
        }
    }
    if(in_array($lang_r,$langs)) {
        return $lang_r;
    } else {
        return $langs[0];
    }
}

function init_session(){session_start();}
add_action('init','init_session',1);

function lang_session() { // Redirect by JS if session is set
    $url_lang= basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    if(!in_array($url_lang,lang_support()) && isset($_SESSION['lang'])) {
        if(!is_404()) {
          wp_redirect(currentURL().$_SESSION['lang'],301);
          exit;
        }

Hey, I'm trying to use this, and it works great.. although there seems to be one slight but major issue.

When trying to view the homepage, it will redirect to /localhost/en (for example).. and as a result will not show my static homepage (but instead shows the latest posts). I'm not using a blog on this site. Is there something that can be added to deal with static Front pages?

Hi, I know this is old, but I was just wondering how this detects what language the site is showing? I am using the PRISNA plugin and am having trouble with the permalinks too.

I want to achieve like this one domain.com/ja and the site is in Japanese. However it returns 404 on mine.
