How can I programmatically switch language? | WordPress.org

In WPML I used to be able to do something like this: $sitepress->switch_lang('en'); but how do I do it in Polylang? I am baffled the documentation doesn’t contain anything about this, and that I couldn’t find anything on Google.

Hello,

You should use the WPML API instead of internal WPML methods. That way, it would work with Polylang too. https://github.com/polylang/polylang/blob/2.8.2/modules/wpml/wpml-api.php#L49

Cool! Thanks. I believe I already tried this, but it didn’t work. Anyhow, I’ll try again.

Any chances you would make your own API as well, instead of depending on the WPML API? I’d like to go as far as possible away from WPML 😉

For our own needs we directly modify the property PLL()->curlang.
