Description

To improve your SEO and the accessibility of your content, you are supposed to announce translations of your pages to Google to avoid duplicate content. The Editor button to add lang and hreflang attributes on your content are here to improve accessibility when screen readers are passing on words from different languages than your main language.

Example of cases you need this plugin:

• You translated a blog post in your language from another blog, (hreflang alternate links)
• You publish the same article in 2 languages on 2 different websites, (hreflang alternate links)
• You use in your content a jargon from another language. (lang attribute)
• You link from your post other posts in another language. (hreflang attribute)
• Your Menus have some items not translated (langattributes) or lead to page in another language (hreflang), you can edit those attributes in the Menus admin-menu. (WordPress 5.4 compatibility)

Features available

• Custom hreflang alternate links for posts (page, and custom posts)
• Attributes hreflang and lang available and visible in the editor
• Attributes hreflang and lang available on your main Menus items. (WordPress 5.4 compatibility)

Know bugs, if you can help with code ;)

Frequently Asked Questions

• My editor (classic editor) doesn't display the buttons. Why? It happens sometimes when you alreay have another plugin that does dirty things with your editor. I can't control him anyway. Try to deactivate the dirty plugin to be sure it comes for it and see if the Juiz Lang Attributes buttons appear.

• My editor (Gutenberg) doesn't display the buttons. Why? For the moment I don't support Gutenberg editor. Working on a way to support it. Thanks.
