# Manually use language tags?

 * Hi,
    I was wondering how do we use language tags manually to differ contents,
   such as: {:fr}French{:}{:en}English{:} (as the raw code I probably see before
   the plugin visualize them);
 * So there are some customer variables of to some customer post types (such as ‘
   position’ to ‘team members’), which the plugin cannot recoganize. And when I 
   try to input {:fr}French{:}{:en}English{:} into those variables they just show“{:
   fr}French{:}{:en}English{:} ” in each language.
 * Is there any way to solve this problem, please?
 * Many thanks

 * Hi Ricky,
 * How are those variables being displayed? Can you show the part of the code that
   prints them on the screen? Something like `echo ...`?
 * Thanks

 * OK, so after the post meta is retrieved from the database, try printing it with
   a filter. For example:
 *     ```
       echo apply_filters( 'the_title', get_post_meta(......
       ```
