Polylang

Works great for the translations of a WordPress website

Great plugin for i18n


If i need multilingual solution, only polylang


Good plugin


Faster and lighter than WPML, easy to configure and manage.


Fast, easy to use, reliable

works fine!


A few quirks here and there, but handles this complicated task very, very well, and with a good interface. 🫶


Simply marvelous


If you are using FSE then you cant translate templates and this makes the polylang useless


Not working with basic tool - native wordpress editor


The only issue is you cannot pair existing translations - or if there this feature already exists, I haven't found it. Otherwise it works well.


I am very happy with free version


Thanks to developers of this excellent work.Many filter hooks and functions to use for developers.Using built-in core tables on database is smart.


Great Work


It works very well, even with block themes, as long as it's used together with Site Editor Classic Features.



Thank you!


Works great, thank you!


Plugin cumpri com tudo que promete, simples de ser instalado e tudo que tiver duvida o forum resolve os problemas.



Vale muito a pena a versão free dele da para desenvolver muito projeto com ele.


Excelente


It does what it needs to do and is free!


Works great

Nice and easy!


This plugin works great for creating multilingual websites. I have been using it on a couple of my websites and it does its work perfectly.


Works like a charm!

Go multilingual in a simple and efficient way. Keep writing posts and taxonomy terms as usual while defining their languages all at once.

<p>See <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpml2wpmsls/" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wpml2wpmsls/</a></p>
<p><a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a> stores each entry as a separate post and uses some custom tables to connect the translations.<br />
If you de-activate the plugin or have issues with functionality related to version updates, you get one site with multi-lingual confusion.<br />
See <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/r3df/getting-word-press-to-speak-your-langauge/" rel="nofollow ugc">Getting WordPress to speak your language</a> for more details how /<br />
why using a WordPress MultiSite / Network is becomming the recommended strategy for multilingual sites. At least until it is fully supported in core.</p>
<p>This plugin:</p>
<ul>
<li>Converts the WPML translation records into meta fields on actual posts or post types</li>
<li>Helps with the export/import to your new WPMS site the data.</li>
<li>Restores the meta data back to options so that <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/" rel="ugc">Multisite Language Switcher</a> will recognize all your translations.</li>
</ul>
<p>You will need to handle conversion of any strings, .po files or other language elements separately.</p>
<h3>Download</h3>
<p>You can download the latest stable version of WPML2WPMSLS from the WordPress<br />
Plugin Repository at <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/WPML2WPMSLS/" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/plugins/WPML2WPMSLS/</a>></p>
<h3>Help and Support</h3>
<p>Please post questions, request for help to the WordPress plugin forum dedicated to it: <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/WPML2WPMSLS" rel="ugc">https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/WPML2WPMSLS</a>.</p>
<h3>TO-DO’s</h3>
<p>= Complete the enhancements for WordPress export. =<br />
Currently, if you have 100 posts translated into 3 languages, you would export all posts once, import that same .xml file into 3 sites and delete the 200 from each<br />
site which are not the corresponding language. Then, you would be able to run steps 7 and 8 of the usage instructions above. With an enhanced WordPress export feature<br />
built into this plugin you would be able to specify the language for export to filter files. In that same scenario, you would run 3 exports (100 posts each of unique<br />
language) and import each language-based export file into the new sites before running the same steps 11 thru 13 above.</p>
<h3>Source and Development</h3>
<p>WPML2WPMSLS welcomes friendly contributors wanting to lend a hand, be it in<br />
the form of code through SVN patches, user support, platform portability<br />
testing, security consulting, localization help, etc.</p>
<p>The [current] goal is to keep the plugin self-contained (ie: no 3rd-party lib)<br />
for easier security maintenance, while keeping the code clean and extensible.</p>
<p>Active development for the plugin is handled via GitHub with releases being published to the WordPress Plugin Repository:</p>

<li>Development: <a href="https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://github.com/Idealien/wpml2wpmsls/</a></li>
