Multilingual Website

[fbrugger]

Hi there

I am about to create a new website with X-Theme Integrity and Cornerstone, which i wanted to make multilingual (English/German). I want to do it right from the beginning so i am wondering if you have any advice, which plugin i should install (WPML)? or any other/better?.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi @fbrugger,

Thanks for reaching out.

I recommend WPML plugin, it’s integrated to the builder so it will be easier to implement. This thread may help too https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/translating-website-pro-with-wpml/41383, https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/wpml-only-part-of-website-is-showing-for-translation/37686/3

These notes are important to make WPML work as expected with cornerstone (since WPML has many options for translations, and there is a specific for cornerstone).

Please note that the new WPML has 3 ways of translating your site. Under WPML > Settings > How to translate posts and pages you’ll see these options

Use the Classic Translation Editor
Use the Advanced Translation Editor
Create translations manually

Choose Create translations manually

Thanks!

Hi Rad

Thank you very much for your recommendation. So i will install WPML. I know it costs some money but i am sure it will be worth it.

Thanks again.
