I have a project in which the client needs the site to support 5 different languages. After some research on Google and here, it's clear the two ways to do it would be either using Multilingual plugins or Multi-site.
My question is, if I were to use the wordpress plugins such as qTranslate, how would the other plugins work, i.e slideshows, testimonials etc. For example, most of the slideshow plugins comes with only a single title fields. In that sense, is using plugins for the translation still efficient keeping in mind that I am going to be using sidebars and other plugins which don't support multingual? Or using the Multi-site is the only option?
At the moment I am developing a multilingual site, and I am using wpml.org plugin, and it works awesome the flow is like this:
you can publish translations for posts, pages, custom post types and taxonomies
you can easily translate menus
you can translate strings
you can translate media captions, titles, and so on
you can translate any plugin output in both admin and site
I strongly recommend it. Let me know if you need more details.

I have one multisite with one custom post-type and multiple taxonomies and posts are generated using a third-party application.
Now I want to create a German addition site where content from the third-party application will be German and I want to show post listing with German translated strings, taxonomies, etc.
Any suggestion on how to achieve this?
If I understand correctly, I recommend using this plugin.
It works by automatically translating anything.
There are also various other options that can help you.

I am not a designer that's why I need to buy others template and then convert them to WordPress to sell in marketplace. I saw some awesome html templates I really love them and I didn't find these templates for WordPress. That's why I am willing to buy these html templates and convert them to WordPress theme.
Is it acceptable by themeforest and other marketplace?
Yes you can convert static HTML themes to Wordpress, but you would need some knowledge of Wordpress development to do so. It would entail replacing the content with the dynamic functions that Wordpress provides.
Buying themes from places like Themeforest is perfectly acceptable, and a great deal of small businesses and blogs do this. Just make sure the theme will do what you need it to. Also, worth checking their return policy - many premium themes and plugins have a 30-day money-back guarantee which will allow you to make sure the theme is right for you or you can get your money back, no questions asked.
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
I need to implement photo gallery on wordpress 3.6
It must support these features:
different languages support
categories and subcategories (albums)
loading images with AJAX on website pages
I've tried some plugins (Nextgen and similar) but i can't find how to add description and name of each photo in different languages.
I've also tried to use standart wordpress functionality (media library, posts) but i don't think that it is correct solution.
Is it possible to implement this gallery with any plugins? Or it will be faster to write one new?
1) Have you checked this link for ajax image gallery plugins?
2) Try to use qtranslate plugin for multilingual wordpress site
These things might be helpful to you.
Thanks
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.
