When building a multilingual website, you may sometimes need more control over what content appears in different languages. For example, you might want to show a promotion, display different legal text depending on language, or completely hide content in specific translations.
TranslatePress makes this possible using dedicated shortcodes that let you include or exclude content based on the active language.
