I've got a website written in English, and have added Polylang Wordpress plugin and activated / added German. I also use the WP Bakery page builder to build the layout for the content.
Rather than manually re-build each German page for translating, I used the plugin Duplicate Page to copy the English language pages and then via the Quick Edit setting in the Pages Overview, I changed the titles, slugs/URLs, and language to German.
Here's where it gets interesting: The original English page shows in the Pages Overview that it has a German version. But the German version does not show that it has an English version.
I feel like I'm missing something really simple.... I have gone into the Page Editor and added the German version to English pages, but this doesn't work for the respective German pages. (see 3rd screenshot below.)

EN page with German version
DE page with no EN version

Well after 5 days of trying to find solution, I think I need WordPress magician to help me solve this.
I am translating my WordPress site. So far I have translated over 80% of the content mainly accessing .po files via server or by using LocoTranslate
I have troubles with translating some specific content on the page:
When accessing Products section in WordPress Dashboard I can see that even the settings are translated (to Danish) but some content of the same product page are not.
Image Of PRODUCT page:
What I have tried so far:
Checked all In Stock strings via LocoTranslate plugin (for main theme po file and plugins file) and all are translated to Danish.
I changed Main language in General WP Settings
Tried TranslatePress plugin, and when accessing the page via it, it does not offer an option to translate In Stock part. Evan tough it offers an option to translate action button and I did that.
As I can see on the editing page In Stock is clearly part:
Product settings on Dashboard
This means "In Stock" and even here is translated, too.
Note: When refreshing the page the translation is seen for a part of a second for the BUTTON, then it changes back to English.
Well, I am desperate. Can someone offer some other solution how I can fix this?
I have wordpress website with loco translate and two languages russian and ukrainian.
First russian language was created and later added ukrainian, therefore russian language loading by default when you visit the page. I want the main page to load in Ukrainian by default.
That is,
main.com/index.php is the Russian version, but you need to change it to
main.com/uk/main-ua
What i tryied ?
I did a redirect, but then the Ukrainian version is always loaded and it is impossible to change the language.
In the site settings, I set the default site language to Ukrainian, but this had no effect, as it was loaded in Russian and loaded.
I put in wp_config line define('WP_HOME', 'main.com/uk/main-ua') but it has no effect, russian version main.com/index.php is loaded anyway.
In the database, in the table wp_options, i changed the corresponding settings, the links in the menu changed to the "ukr" version, but the text of the links was not there, and the content of the main page remained "russians".
I'm confused now how to did it correctly. Who did this, give advice. Thanks.
Finally i found answer. There was mess in the polylang posts and the translations
some translations was not assigned to posts. So check if your post have translations first then go to "Languages" tab in admin panel and click on the star in the languages list.
I installed qTranslate plugin (qtranslate-Version 2.8.42) for Wordpress.
My default language my website is written in English.
I have configured qTranslate plugin to show three languages on my website, i.e. German, English, and Chinese.
Nevertheless, I want my website to be in German instead of English on the first visit. I mean that although my website is in English I want it to show the German language first when somebody enters my website and NOT the original English language...
Is there any idea on how I could achieve this, please?
Many Thanks!
You probably did not check the qTranslate's option page at Admin panel.
See the marked area. The arrows are for setting the order of language. If you set German at top, it would be primarily selected.
I created a Linkedin Follow Company button here: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins/follow-company.
However, when I add it to my WordPress site, it shows up in English, regardless of what language I set. The code contains lang: da_DK to show the button in Danish, but it's still displayed in English.
When I test it outside of WordPress, it shows up in the right language, which suggests it's a WordPress issue, but WP can display buttons from Facebook and Twitter in the right language, which suggests it's a LinkedIn issue.
How can I make the button appear in Danish on my WordPress site?
Try with this plugin : https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsite-follow-us-badges/screenshots/
It provide option to select language also.
I had a similar issue. My webpage had the Company Profile plugin in header, and the Follow Company plugin in footer. I was wrongly including the platform.linkedin.com/in.js script twice, the first occurence did not include the lang parameter.
Be sure to include platform.linkedin.com/in.js once in HTML code with the right lang: da_DK param value.
I am using Wordpress along with the story theme for this website. I have installed the Stella plugin for multiple language support. It works fine when translating the content in the pages, but when it comes to things like "Custom Page title" (see image), which is part of the story theme, it will not translate as I switch between English and German. Is there anyway to fix this or is the stella plug in just not compatible with my theme?
There is a plugin called "Poly-lang" which is compatible with most themes, including story.
