Add your languages
Add a language
- Open Languages → Settings in WordPress.
- Enter its display name in any script, such as 日本語, हिन्दी or العربية.
- Enter a language tag:
ja,hi,ar,pt-BRorzh-Hant. Custom BCP 47 tags are supported; you are not limited to a predefined list. - Set an optional WordPress locale such as
pt_BR. Choose Right to left for RTL content; otherwise use Left to right. - Select Save language.
What changes?
The language becomes available in translation management. Existing unassigned content keeps the default language. Adding a language does not translate text or publish copies.
The plugin stores content in any Unicode script. Its admin interface uses available WordPress translation files; this does not mean the interface has already been translated into every language.
