## 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.

 * Optional menu switching per language
 * 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**.

An optional **beta translation module** may be offered separately for users who 
want assisted translations, while keeping the core plugin clean, fast, and predictable.

#### Ideal for

 * Developers
 * Designers using Elementor
