## Description

Rignor BodYig is a theme-agnostic WordPress plugin with two capabilities:

 1. A Tibetan typography engine using bundled font files from the plugin fonts folder.
 2. A manual multilingual CMS for English and Tibetan. Administrators type each translation.
    Nothing is auto-translated.

Works with any theme. Theme files are not edited.

#### What you can translate

Website name, tagline, menus, pages, posts, excerpts, categories, tags, footer text,
widgets, form labels, search, breadcrumbs, pagination, error messages, login labels,
SEO titles and descriptions.

Tibetan string defaults replace matching English already printed by the theme, in
the same place. Unmatched strings are not added to the layout. Pages and posts are
never auto-filled.

#### How translations are stored

Each language is an independent WordPress post (or term) linked by a stable translation
group ID. English content is never overwritten when you edit Tibetan. Publish status
and revisions are independent.

#### Front-end language switcher

Enable or disable it. Styles: dropdown, inline links, globe icon, text labels, custom
icons. Place it in the header menu, a widget, a block, or:

    ```
    [rignor_bodyig_language_switcher]
    ```

#### URLs

Configurable prefixes such as `/en/` and `/bo/`. Language-specific slugs, canonical
URLs, hreflang, and sitemap-compatible permalinks. Flush permalinks once after changing
prefixes (Rignor BodYig  Tools, or Settings  Permalinks  Save).

### Privacy

Rignor BodYig does not send data to Rignor Labs or any third party. A first-party
cookie (`rignor_bodyig_lang`) stores the visitor’s language choice on their site
so navigation stays in that language. No analytics, ads, or remote scripts are loaded.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `rignor-bodyig` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate Rignor BodYig through the Plugins screen.
 3. Open Rignor BodYig  Languages. Set the default language and URL prefixes.
 4. Open Rignor BodYig  Tools and flush permalinks.
 5. Edit a page. Use the language panel to create the Tibetan version and write it 
    independently.
 6. Translate Strings (only labels the theme already prints) and menu labels.
 7. Enable the language switcher.

## FAQ

### How do I translate a post or page?

Open the English post or page. In **Language & translations**, click **Add this 
language** next to Tibetan. Write the Tibetan title and body on that new item, then**
Publish** it. The language switcher then opens the matching version. Do not change
the language dropdown on the English item — that would relabel the same content 
instead of creating a second version.

### Does this auto-translate?

No. Administrators enter every translation. Built-in Tibetan defaults are used only
where matching English already appears in the theme.

### Will it change my existing posts?

On activation it only adds language and translation-group metadata. IDs, titles 
and content stay as they are. Deactivation flushes rewrite rules and leaves content
in place.

### Which languages are supported?

English and Tibetan only.

### Does this plugin collect or send data?

No. It does not phone home, load remote scripts, or track visitors. Language choice
is stored in a cookie on the visitor’s site only.

### Are the bundled fonts free to redistribute?

Yes. Bundled Monlam-bodyig faces are SIL Open Font License 1.1 (GPL-compatible).
See `fonts/OFL.txt`. Other faces, such as Monlam Uni OuChan2, can be added from 
the Fonts screen if you have the right to use them.
