multilingual Top bar with WPML Plugin
5 replies · Started by Katharina on May 31, 2019
Hi I use WPML-Multilingual Plugin to run my Website in two languages.
With my Top bar I can use in the language i want it but I can not have it in both languages.
Is there a solution? On my current site with a different theme ( https://katisiemens.com ), the Top bar language changes with switching the language.
Thanks
Kati
Hello Kati, you would have to create a menu for each language.

By the way, I don't recommend WPML from my own experience. It makes WordPress extremely slow. Better use Polylang.

I have a menu for each language. in the customizer i can choose the language and set it for one language but I can not do the same for another language. At the moment I can translate everything I worked on except the top bar
That's strange - it's just a widget so WPML should handle it. Have you checked with their support? They're super helpful.
Let me know :)
Thanks Tom I still haven't worked it out, but I am in contact with WPML will see how it goes
Sounds good - let me know if it's something we need to do on our end :)
