About Multilify

Why the plugin exists, how it is built, and what it will never do.

Why it exists

Every established multilingual plugin for WordPress either duplicates your posts or routes your content through someone else’s servers, and the feature you actually need tends to sit behind a licence. Multilify started as the version of that tool with none of those trade-offs.

How it is built

A translation is not a second post. Each post carries all of its translations in post meta, keyed by language code, and per-language rewrite rules resolve the localized URL back to the original. That is the whole design, and everything else follows from it.

What it will not do

  • Ship a paid tier
  • Call a third-party translation API
  • Send your content anywhere
  • Require another plugin to work
