wpLingua Wiki: Documentation for developper

wpLingua is an all-in-one WordPress plugin that makes your website multilingual and translates it automatically, without word or page limits. This wiki is the developer-focused documentation of the plugin: it lists the PHP functions, hooks (actions & filters) and shortcodes exposed by wpLingua so you can customize and extend its behavior from your theme or a custom plugin, along with practical recipes for common customizations.

If you are looking for the plugin itself, general features or installation instructions, check the README or the plugin page on wordpress.org.
