## Description

**Abdiel Multilingual Manager** is a lightweight and developer-friendly multilingual
plugin for WordPress.

It is designed to manage **language structure, content relationships, and SEO signals**,
without automatic translations or heavy overhead.

performance

This plugin is ideal for projects where translations are created manually and quality
matters.

 * Assign a language to each page, post, and selected custom post types

 * Elementor compatible (headers, footers, and Nav Menu widgets)
 * Flexible URL modes (prefix or query-based)
 * Bulk language assignment for content
 * Clean, predictable, and SEO-friendly behavior

#### Important note about translations

This plugin **does NOT translate content automatically**.

Abdiel Multilingual Manager is built for:
 * Manual, high-quality translations *
SEO-focused multilingual sites * Full control without forced workflows * Minimal
performance impact

#### Optional translation tools (Beta)

Automatic translation features are intentionally **not included in the core plugin**.

   code, name, locale, and default language. At least one language must be active

   example, define which English page corresponds to a Spanish page to establish

   want or can’t create multiple menus, the plugin can automatically substitute 
   menus based on language. Includes direct compatibility with Elementor Nav Menu
   widgets.

   shortcode, or floating button.

   using bulk actions.
