I am purchasing wordpress theme but I want a language translator in it so that user can view the pages in their own language. Any idea how will it be done. I want it for the user not me. I just want it so that my website can be used any person who is not comfortable with english & can convert the page in its own language. Any idea how much time it will take. Is there any plugin for it.
Polylang or WPML may be what you're looking for.

I can't change language in the single post. I changed language in control panel, but this one element is still in english. Need help
For string translation you have two option.
If your site is not a multi-language site then you need to change the text directly where it.
if you site is multi-language then you can use the Loco translate plugin.
Note: there is also other ways are available but above are very easy
Hi I wanted to ask a quick question, I`m about to get a project form a client who wants to use the Learndash LMS but he also wants to make a custom theme and not use the premium wp & learndash themes.. I just wanted to have an opinion from you guys is that recommended ? and does Learndash LMS require any "special" development for the theme or it will work on any theme including custom made themes.
Thank you for your time even if I dont know if this is the right place to ask these type of questions.
I'm looking for a simple plugin for WordPress to be able to switch the language on the front-end.
I tried many plugins no one worked. I just need to prefix my page path with something like /en/my_page and transform it to /fr/my_page when I select French as the current language for instance.
I also have spent in the past quite a lot of time looking for a plugin to create sites in various languages.
The only plugin I would recommend is Qtranslate https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate/
Its very simple, and easy to customize the front-end template using shortcodes.
I have developed a free plugin for that purpose here:
https://code.recuweb.com/get/language-switcher/
It has been reviewed and hosted by Wordpress here:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/language-switcher/
Language Switcher allows you to map urls of alternative languages for Post Types and Taxonomies. Additionally it allows you to filter archive pages by language.
To prefix your pages with the language code I recommend you to follow these steps:
create a main page with slug en and another one with slug fr.
set my_page with parent page en and ma_page with parent page fr.
map the urls of the translations in my_page and ma_page
add the shortcode [language-switcher] to allow readers to jump from one page to another
How I can translate WooCommerce product and categories into other language.
We have the WordPress default function:
define(WP_LANG,'');
I have set:
define (WP_LANG,'heIL');
It changes all WordPress content but does not change WooCommerce product name categories.
If you want to make your Wordpress site or store multilingual you have to use some third party plugin like WPML which takes care of the translation management
Here is an explanation what you need to make your shop multlingual: http://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/
Hope it helps.
See here the listings of some popular translation plugins http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/top-6-translation-plugins-for-your-wordpress-site/
There are free plugins too, however they are not as much powerful as WPML. But, see if they can help.
qTranslate is one of the mostly used free plugin among these.
I think what you need is a translation plugin. There are many of them but I am using WPML and it is going well. You have to install it and you will have access to translate all blog.

I have a project with WordPress for a multi-language, multi-country site.
I want to have a structure like:
domain.com
domain.com/es
domain.com/de
domain.com/fr
domain.es
domain.es/en
domain.fr
domain.fr/en
domain.de
domain.de/en
I was wondering if anyone had any useful articles, tips or insights. The idea is that the .com site be the 'parent' site. The other satellite sites would be in their native language by default, but might have other languages available. Ideally, each individual satellite site could have some leeway to have styles/content that would be different than the parent site.
I also want the parent site to use canonicalization, so that the 'satellite' (country-specific, top-level-domain) sites have priority.
I guess I'm most curious to know about:
Domain mapping and compatibility with WMPL
Thanks
I use "Polylang" in all my projects and it works perfect for me. Polylang does 2 things:
1) Creates siblings for post and pages, connected through ID, so you may write a post in english and then a "spanish sibling" with different contents but connected to the other, so when you do the language switch it displays the desired languahe.
2) Automatically creates a sub route in your WordPress URL (like yourdomain.com/en and yourdomain.com/es) so it matches and changes the desired language interface. You may even use functions on your templates to switch some contents by language on the same template file. You may add and define as many languages as you want.
Important: this is not a plugin for "auto translate" contents, its more like an option to create multilingual sites.
You may find Polylang here: Download Polylang from WordPress Plugins
If you're interested on using Polylang on your templates, here you could find a solution for calling different contents according to the language selected by the user: Multiple headers by language using Polylang
I hope this work for you.
Greetings!
I want to like WPML because I purchased it, but it just never works well for me and I always end up using Polylang.
update I recently used WPML for project and the latest version worked extremely well for me. Polylang is still great and my latest experience with WPML is even better than Polylang.
