About LingoToggle
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
LingoToggle allows you to display multiple language versions of the same text using a custom separator. No duplicate pages, custom post types, or language-specific content management is required. Simply write all language versions in the same content block.
Example:
The plugin automatically detects such text, shows only the selected language, and adds a fixed language switch button in the upper-right corner of the page.
In the WordPress editor:
Heading
Hello everyone! # Привіт усім! # Привет всем!
Paragraph
Welcome. # Ласкаво просимо. # Добро пожаловать.
In HTML:
<h1>
Hello everyone! # Привіт усім! # Привет всем!
</h1>
<p>
Welcome. # Ласкаво просимо. # Добро пожаловать.
</p>
