    First of all, thank you very much for this great plugin – it’s really a big help!

    I have a quick question/request: Would it be possible to extend the WordPress search so that it also includes content in the respective translated languages? Specifically, I mean that when searching in a certain language, the corresponding translated content is also taken into account.

    If there is already a setting or a workaround for this, I would greatly appreciate any guidance.

    Thank you in advance for your support!

    The plugin search translation is implemented like this: If you search something in for instance German language. The plugin translates that to the site language (say English) then uses WordPress search to find the results and displays back the translated pages.

    It is maybe a little bit different from what you describe, since it is possible that some words are translated different in this proces. But it is not possible to use WordPress to search through the translated pages directly, since they are not in the database, but cached on disk and in memory after translation.

    Okay, then I understand why it’s not working for me. I’m using Relevanssi 🙁

    Thank you for the explanation.
