## Description

Adds the wpml__ and wpml_e functions to your theme and the wpml__ shortcode to your
WordPress website. Make your WordPress **full WPML ready**

    ```
    <?php wpml__( $text, $context ); ?>
    <?php wpml_e( $text, $context ); ?>
    ```

Similarly to the behaviour of the __, _e functions, you must provide a string to
make translateable and a context.
 That’s it; just provide translations from the
WPML > String Translations admin panel.

Check how to use the shortcode below.

#### Usage (via code)

    ```
    <h1><?php echo wpml__( 'Title', 'wpmlshortcodes' ); ?></h1>
    <h2><?php wpml_e( 'Subtitle', 'wpmlshortcodes' ); ?></h2>
    ```

#### Usage (via shortcode)

    ```
    <h1>[wpml__ context=wpmlshortcodes]Title[/wpml__]</h1>
    <h2>[wpml__ context=wpmlshortcodes]Subtitle[/wpml__]</h2>
    ```

> **NEWS! WPML Translate (+ shortcode)**
>  Adds the wpml_if (ex wpml_translate) shortcode
> to your WPML suite. You can also use the wpml_e__if_language( $content, $lang )
> in your php code.

#### Usage (via code)

    ```
    <p><?php
    wpml_e__if_language( 'Text', 'en' );
    wpml_e__if_language( 'Testo', 'it' );
    ?></p>
    ```

#### Usage (via shortcode)

    ```
    [wpml_if lang='en']Text[/wpml_if][wpml_if lang='it']Testo[/wpml_if]
    ```

It also supports backward compatibility for wpml_translate and wpml_language from
WPML Translate Shortcode (deprecated plugin);

#### WPML Translate Shortcode > WPML Shortcodes

Welcome to the new WPML Shortcodes. This plugin is the new WPML Translate Shortcode,
became a full-translation suite.

Of course we still support WPML Translate Shortcode, with a new shortcode (1.2.4
+): wpml_if (see usage above).
 Also, we provide full backward compatibility (yes,
you can still use wpml_translate or wpml_language shortcodes) on 1.2.6+.

Surprisingly, the plugin is still working !! And I inserted the shortcode into Revolution
Slider, and it changes the language there too.
