The Portfolio CPT is defacto like "Posts" but just on its own.
A simple drop-in solution – fast, easy, lightweight!
The Post Type comes with two taxonomies registered as well, Portfolio Categories and Portfolio Tags.
This plugin is fully translateable by default so it works perfectly for multlingual installs - and multilingual plugins like Polylang.
The available filters allow you to tweak all registered arguments for the post type and its taxonomies. For example, you would also be able to change the slugs on a per language basis via filter functions that way.
- Simple post type - all that you know and would expect – slug:
portfolio-content - Nothing extra – use custom field plugins like Meta Box, ACPT, ACF, JetEngine or Pods, please
- Gutenberg enabled by default (in post type parameters)
- Taxonomy: Portfolio Categories – slug:
portfolio-category - Taxonomy: Portfolio Tags – slug:
portfolio-tag - Filters for all 3 registrations available to tweak the arguments if needed

This plugin comes as is.
Disclaimer 1: So far I will support the plugin for breaking errors to keep it working. Otherwise support will be very limited. Also, it will NEVER be released to WordPress.org Plugin Repository for a lot of reasons (ah, thanks, Matt!).
Disclaimer 2: All of the above might change. I do all this stuff only in my spare time.
Most of all: Have fun building great sites!!! ;-)
