FAQ about the ExpressionEngine translation integration
To install Linguise, you generate an API key in the Linguise dashboard, upload the “linguise” folder to the root of your ExpressionEngine site, and paste the key into the uploaded Configuration.php file. Then you add the provided URL-rewrite rule in your .htaccess so language URLs like /fr/ work, and you load the Linguise JavaScript in your ExpressionEngine layout (Templates → Layouts → _html-wrapper) to display the language switcher.
Linguise’s ExpressionEngine setup requires PHP 7+, ExpressionEngine 6+, and an Apache/IIS/NGINX server with URL rewriting enabled. This integration uses a PHP script approach (not an ExpressionEngine add-on that modifies your CMS), so it doesn’t require changes to ExpressionEngine core files.
