FAQ

What do I need to use this plugin?

You can customize the slug by hooking it to the simple_slug_translate_results filter.

	/**
	* Customize the translated slug.
	*/
	add_filter( 'simple_slug_translate_results', function( $results ) {
	// 200 – OK
	if ( 200 === $results['code'] ) {
	// Customize slug
	$results['text'] = sprintf( 'translated-%s', $results['text'] );
	}
	return $results;
	} );
