WARNING: This is an experimental addon designed for websites which do not have pretty permalinks enabled. It might cause unexpected side-effects and it』s usage is not recommended.
If your website doesn』t have pretty permalinks available you can still use TranslatePress by installing an add-on.
Using the Language by GET parameter Add-on you can encode language in the url as a GET parameter. Your website will use URLs such as this one:
http://www.example.com/?lang=en
This will replace the language directory system which uses the following URL format:
http://www.example.com/en/
There is no need for extra configuration. You just have to activate it and that』s it.
Download Language by GET parameter Add-on
The default GET parameter used is lang. This can be changed using a bit of coding:
Create an empty plugin like this: https://gist.github.com/sareiodata/76f701e01db6685829db
Add the following code to the end of it:
add_filter( 'trp_gp_lang_parameter', 'trp_gp_change_parameter_name' );
function trp_gp_change_parameter_name( $name ){
return 'language';
}
Replace language with the GET parameter of your choice.
Install this plugin via FTP (copy it inside wp-content/plugins) or create a zip archive with it and install it via the WordPress plugin upload functionality
