Language Manager for Craft CMS

The Language Manager plugin adds easy integration for a language switcher and for the correct hreflang attributes in the header.

• The language switcher is a simple menu that links to all parallel language versions of the same page
• The hreflang tags add the correct hreflang attributes in the header of the page (including setting the x-default tag for the primary version)

The language switcher will switch to the parallel site in a different language, if there is no parallel site, it will fall back to the main page. The labels can be set set to presets or customized.
