Compatibility with WPML

Plugin is officially compatible with WPML.

Plugin perfroms transliteration basing on current locale. When language locale is switched in WPML, plugin switches transliteration table accordingly.

Cyr-To-Lat was initially tested with WPML 4.2.7. However, there is no doubt that it can work with much more recent versions of WPML. To function properly on multilingual site, Cyr-To-Lat needs only main WPML plugin (WPML Multilingual CMS).

Activation and usage of Cyr-To-Lat with WPML has no difference with standard usage. All required actions on multilingual site plugin performs automatically.

Cyr-To-Lat is translated to several languages: Russian, Ukrainian, Swedish. Translation to other languages is the same as standard WordPress procedure:

Example of usage

Let us assume that on site with WPML we have two languages: Russian and Ukrainian. These languages have a word with the same spelling and meaning: пиво (beer). When a post with the title “Пиво” to be created, it will get slug pivo. After switching language in WPML to Ukrainian, a newly created post with the same title will get the slug pyvo.

This is because of that on language switching Cyr-To-Lat switches its transliteration table.
