## Description

GlowFlow lets you translate any page on your site visually. It translates your default
language into as many translation languages as you choose:

 * Click GlowFlow in the top admin bar and choose Open Translation Editor to launch
   the visual editor.
 * Click any text, image, or link on the page preview.
 * Type the translation in the sidebar and hit Save.
 * Translations are stored in a custom table and injected automatically on the frontend
   when a visitor picks a language.

Key features:

 * Add unlimited translation languages from a curated list of 30+ locales.
 * Optional language subdirectory (/fr/, /es/, etc.) – including for the default
   language.
 * Floating language switcher with light/dark theme and 4 position options.
 * Shortcode [glowflow_switcher] to drop the switcher anywhere.
 * Internal link rewriting to keep the selected language sticky.
 * Translations are preserved on plugin deactivation/uninstall so updates do not
   destroy your work.

## Installation

 1. Upload the glowflow-lite folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to GlowFlow in the dashboard sidebar, choose your translation language, configure
    the switcher, and save.
 4. Click GlowFlow -> Open Translation Editor in the admin bar to start translating.

## FAQ

### Are my translations deleted if I deactivate or remove the plugin?

No. The translations table and your language settings are kept intact when the plugin
is uninstalled, so a re-install (for example to apply an update) picks up exactly
where you left off.

### How many languages does it translate?

As many as you like. Set your default (original) language, then add any number of
translation languages on the settings screen. Each one becomes available in the 
visual editor and the language switcher.

### Can I customize the language switcher?

Yes. You can show a floating switcher with a light or dark theme and choose from
four positions, or place it anywhere with the [glowflow_switcher] shortcode.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.5

 * Feature: add unlimited translation languages (previously limited to one). The
   editor, switcher, and URL routing all support every language you add.

#### 1.0.4

 * Change: whole-page translation now uses the standardized WordPress 6.9 template
   enhancement output buffer; the plugin no longer opens its own output buffer for
   the page response.
 * Change: requires WordPress 6.9 or newer.
 * Tweak: clarified that GlowFlow Pro is a separate, independently hosted product.

#### 1.0.3

 * Change: language settings now save a single translation language directly (default
   + one translation language).
 * Change: simplified the languages screen to a clean translation-language picker.
 * Fix: output buffer is now self-contained and no longer relies on a generic shutdown
   flush.

#### 1.0.2

 * Fix: translations and language settings are now preserved on uninstall.
 * Fix: editor toolbar icons render consistently across all themes.
 * Fix: replace hard-coded language name in editor copy with a generic label.

#### 1.0.1

 * Maintenance release.

#### 1.0.0

 * Initial release.
