Help with multilingual WordPress websites

Need a hand with setting up a website in multiple languages in WordPress?

Especially for Belgian WordPress websites, multiple languages often play a role. Is it best to take this into account in advance or can you set up a WordPress translation module afterwards?

Installing a plugin to make WordPress multilingual is not that difficult. Neither are translating pages and posts. If you also want to translate widgets, forms, menus and text built into the template, it becomes a little less obvious.

WPML and other translation plugins

We usually work with WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin). This is the same on this site, by the way. WPML is a plugin to make your website multilingual and which also allows translating your WooCommerce webshop.

But there are several: qTranslate-X, polylang, … Each with their own approach and advantages. Can’t figure it out? Then contact a WordPress expert.
