Multilingual Support

Herodotus is fully compatible with multilingual WordPress setups.

WPML

The plugin includes a wpml-config.xml file that automatically configures WPML to:

• Translate the herodotus_post Custom Post Type
• Translate the herodotus_category taxonomy
• Copy/translate the date meta fields (_herodotus_day, _herodotus_month, _herodotus_year)

No manual WPML configuration is needed.

How It Works with WPML

1. Create events in your default language.
2. Use WPML's translation editor to create translated versions.
3. The date meta fields are automatically copied to translations.
4. Each language version is cached separately.

Polylang

Polylang works automatically because Herodotus registers its CPT and taxonomy using standard WordPress hooks that Polylang detects.

1. After activating Herodotus, go to Languages → Settings in Polylang.
2. Under Custom Post Types and Taxonomies, ensure herodotus_post and herodotus_category are enabled.
3. Create events and assign languages as you normally would.
