What “changing the language” actually does
This setting tells Linkilo’s content processing engine which language to apply when:
- Splitting your post text into words
- Matching word forms where a stemmer exists for the language (“running” to “run”, etc.)
- Removing stop-words (“and”, “the”, “of” in English, equivalents in other languages). The language’s built-in stop-word list is merged automatically with anything you add under Settings → Content & Ignored Words, so you don’t need to repeat common words there.
The result is noticeably better link suggestions for non-English sites. For Greek, Japanese, Persian, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese, Czech and Bulgarian, Linkilo matches exact words rather than word stems.
Step-by-step
- Go to Linkilo → Manage → Settings and click General in the left navigation (under Editor & Behavior).
- Find the Your site language dropdown.
- Pick the language your site is written in.
- Click Save Settings.
- Go to Linkilo → Summary and click Perform Scan so the index is rebuilt with the new language rules.
Multi-language sites
Linkilo handles one language per site. If you run a multilingual site (WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress), pick the primary language. Site-wide link suggestions will favour content in the primary language; content in other languages will still get linked, but with the primary language’s word rules.
