How to Change Linkilo to a Different Language

Supported languages

Linkilo supports content in these languages:

English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Italian, German, Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Swedish, and Arabic.

What "changing the language" actually does

This setting tells Linkilo's content processing engine which language to apply when:

  • Tokenizing your post text into words
  • Applying stemming (matching "running" to "run", etc.)
  • Removing stop-words ("and", "the", "of" in English, equivalents in other languages)

The result is dramatically better link suggestions for non-English sites.

Step-by-step

  1. WordPress → Linkilo → Settings → General
  2. Find the Content language dropdown
  3. Pick the language your site is written in
  4. Click Save
  5. Re-run Linkilo → Focus Keywords → Perform Scan so the index uses the new language tokenizer

Multi-language sites

Linkilo currently 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 English-style tokenization.

A proper multi-language mode is on the roadmap. Vote for it if it matters to you.
