Complete documentation for Instant Language Switcher v0.24.1.

Instant Language Switcher is a WordPress multilingual content engine designed around one core principle: translate once, store the result in WordPress, and switch languages instantly on the frontend.

Unlike an on-click website translator, visitors do not wait for DeepL, Google, or another translation service when they change language. Automatic providers are used by administrators to generate translations; finished translations stay in the WordPress database and are delivered locally.

Version covered
These docs describe Instant Language Switcher v0.24.3, including the existing Stardetha One licensing and update integration.
