[Resolved] Website Translation Plugin

[Marco Giuseppe de Pinto]

Hi Tom,
do you have any suggestion regarding plugins that I may use to create a multilingual version of my website? I am interested in developing two versions, italian and English. I know only WPML at the moment.
It is better to use a plugin or to create a multisite environment?
Thanks in advance.
Marco

Hi Marco,

I’ve never actually done a translatable website, so I’m not too sure what the best approach would be.

WPML is definitely the most popular, so it’s worth playing around with 🙂

Have you tried WPML? Is it compatible with GeneratePress?

Thank you for the answer.

I’m actually using it with WPML in a multisite environment and it actually works flawlessly.
Is the WPML integration itself which is a little hard to understand. But that’s stuff for another thread.
I can confirm that Generatepress is working as expected with WPML

[Tom]

Thanks for confirming, Roberto! That’s great news 🙂

Is this still the way to go – WPML to create a bilingual website in GeneratePress?
(It’s been almost a year. Just wondering if anything new has been developed – perhaps by Tom & co.)

[Roberto]

I run a multisite, and wpml is well supported.

If you’re running a single site I think that there are other alternatives. You can check out “ceceppa multilingua” which seems surprisingly nice as well as that developed by the team of contact form 7.

But I think that the best supported one remains wpml.

Thank you, Roberto!

I only have one simple site with static text on GeneratePress (techwritecommunication.com). But it does use a GP footer widget and a sidebar widget. That makes me wonder if I need to buy the $79 version of WPML to get widget translation. :-/

But I will check out “ceceppa multilingua”, as well.

Thank you!

Hi Tom
I am trying qTranslate, but there are problems on the mobile version of the website.

In particular I use the Easy Google Fonts plugin for the style of the chars, but it doesn’t work ONLY in the mobile ENGLISH version of the website.

In Ita desktop & mobile and in Eng desktop is OK.

Could you please give me some help?

Thank you in advance

Marco

Solved.

[Tom]

Hi Marco,

Was it an issue with the Easy Google Fonts plugin?

[Marco Giuseppe de Pinto]

To be honest, I have no idea. It solved on its own..

[Tom]

Interesting – we’ll just blame it on the cache 🙂

Well, I used Polylang and I am happy with that. It seems that it works nice and it’s free which is important for me. Also it has 360+ 5* reviews so I guess other people are satisfied as well.
