Polylang Shortcodes for Oxygen

This wordpress plugin accomplish five purposes:

• Create a Gutenberg Shortcode access to Polylang strings, so you can use it anywhere. This include Oxygen templates!
• Register new strings to translate without the need to edit functions.php nor installing a pluging to launch snippets.
• Load custom CSS and JS files in WordPress but withouth editing functions.php.
• Create a Gutenberg Shortcode access to add a Language switcher.
• Customize the Language switcher.
• Register a condition that you can use in Oxygen to show/hide content based on the language string in the URL.

If you are wondering what's the problem with functions.php: Oxygen doesn't make use of functions.php since this builder desactivate wordpress themes. So if you need to add PHP functions, you have to put it in a plugin.

About the code

I created this plugin because I wanted a simple way to manage the translation and customization of my website without adding a third-party plugin to handle code snippets.

This plugin is based in the code of the following good people:

• Srikat
• Karamanliev
• Mosharush
• Mikhail.root
• Nicomollet
• KittenCodes
• user-meta.com

Thank you.
