How to make your Elementor website Multi Language - Polylang for Elementor

[@banisudin]

it is 2024, yet your video still helps me a lot. although it was a different UI or UX, I still can adapt to the changes pretty well. Thanks, Rino, keep doing what you love, and hope you had a great day!

[@hhale5652]

I have watched so many videos trying to make my first website. But I think I finally found a great teacher. Thank you for explaining the little things and why things appear they way they do. This stuff is not intuitive and you do a great job connecting the dots. I’m going to watch all your videos and probably start designing a much better site all over again.

[@toastbrot_17]

I'm beginning to think you can read my mind.... I was thinking about this yesterday

[@rinodeboer]

Lol, love it

[@toastbrot_17]

​@@rinodeboer can you create a tutorial where you explain how to create a subdomain for mobile devices and how to direct the requests that come from mobile phones, etc. directly there?

[@anderzamora2182]

A HUGE thanks to you for this video from Switzerland, a country with 4 official languages! Liked, subscribed, and shared!

[@dilo.353]

Ja, haha, deshalb habe ich auch nach diesem Video gesucht.

[@RapaMusic]

Instead of /en/home-en/, I used /en/welcome/, which I thought looked a bit nicer. Thank you for an amazing tutorial!

[@stevechong65]

Rino, I can't express myself enough to thank you! You have saved me a great deal of time! I followed your instructions and voila, in less than 10 mins I got my site in another language! Polylang is so powerful, based on your info, I have also duplicated the templates, including popups, I have some CSS code for the popup, I was truly surprised that I don't even have to amend the codes, the pages executed the code regardless of which language! Once again a big thank you from the bottom of my heart! ~ steve

[@frankfritzer1521]

Exactly what I needed for my first Elementor project. Thanks a lot for your great work.

[@bamb00chaman2]

Hey Rino, thanks for your new video. For me also at the right time as I am struggling on my first website project with that multilingual topic right now. Polylang seems to go a slightly different way as it creates duplicates of your posts/pages/content. That is something that I usually don't want, because as you said at the beginning layout changes have to be done in each single language copy again, so better do translation at the end. But of course a site will change over time and then you have to repeat the changes in each added language, even if its just a layout change. The only benefit I see is that you are able to choose a new title, which then also results in a translated URL (when you have permalinks with page titles). This is something I really want, as its important for SEO. What I see/understood from other plugins like WPML or Translatepress they don't create a copy for each post/page/content element, they simply create translations for all the included texts (Strings). So a plus for that BUT non of them offers changing page title for a translation in the free versions (if there is any free version). This seems to be everywhere a pro/paid extra feature. So for my project I have now to decide whether I use your proposed way via Polylang and copies or pay for example for WPML the smalltest blog plan (Jan 2021 its 29 USD for first year and 21 for a renewal year). Translatepress is out as the cheapest plan starts with 79€/year, just to have this little extra (SEO Addon pack), thats too much. WPML would cost ~2€/month. Meanwhile all seem to be very well working together with Elementor Pro. So its really just the price. But maybe you know another plugin which I didn't found so far. Do you? Thanks for all the great videos. Greetings from Berlin ;)

[@digwillhachi]

This is something I do a lot. For simple sites this works as does WPML. Other tactics I use is to duplicate each page if its a small site so each language can have its own design. I also have a dual language directory site. For that I am using multi sites, as having each site separate is just easier to manage.

[@bencehuszar896]

I was just about to do it in a week or so, but had no clue how. I love your timing!:)

[@ch33kster]

I'm sure I've left a comment here in the past. Had to watch your video again as a recap. Its EXCELLENT IN EVERY WAY!

[@rinodeboer]

Thanks again!

[@MrShahidalik]

Unique page naming withing subfolder are a drag but this is what I was looking for. Though work is extended and need a clear understanding before you indulge in a real project, this will solve most of auto-translate issues. Each region in Gulf has different translation for same word. Gulf clients still hates incorrect auto-translation. Good work.

[@MeonisRP]

Wow! I was literally thinking about it today. As I need to make 2 lang website. That's just my lucky day :D

[@julesstigers6587]

Omggg I've been meaning to look into this for so long! Thanks as always!

Hi, Rino, thank you very much for your great tutorial. I have just added an English translation with Polylang for my German website. I don't think I could have done it without you. MANY thanks!

[@andonisr]

This is by far the greatest Polylang tutorial I've discovered! I wish Polylang took this time to create as good a tutorial as you have - honestly! I had no idea that Polylang creates dbls for each page if applied from the start of a project and not when main language is finished as you mention! Do you think if I deleted the plugin (for this main reason) and re-install it after I'm done with my main language will do any harm at this point? I've taken back ups and exported the cool Header I created with Language switchers just in case! Thanks again!!!

[@studionulzevenzeven5188]

Heel bruikbaar! Scheelt een hoop uitzoek werk. Dankjewel voor deze prima tutorial!

[@dominikspieler5308]

I'm a German guy, and it's always funny to see English natives (or Dutch) speak German :D Thanks Rino!

[@RazorNLD]

The only thing is that Rino is Dutch =).

[@ChristinaShatohina]

I think he is Dutch... he has a typical dutch accent

[@RazorNLD]

@@ChristinaShatohina He is. He also used to have a Dutch page, but with English you can reach a more broader audience.

Hi Rino! I am SO grateful that I found you! Designing my first ever homepage which is a blog about my journey towards my tiny house on wheels.

Cheers from Oslo, Norway!

[@katjadeborah1035]

Hi Irene, I have trouble translating my blogsite. Do you have an idea what my issue could be? This is what I commented on this thread before: "Katja Deborah Thanks for this video, great help! I have one problem left though: My blog page is disappeared since Polylang. When I had the blog page in the second language, it would at least show then but in the original language it just shows an empty page. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how to fix this"

[@kilianbernard2002]

Hi Rino, does this plugin work with Woocommerce? And if so how does it cope with product translations?

[@thewaliiiii]

it doesn't, also most elements like comments etc won't be.

[@abala1]

Thank you so much! This is a great tutorial, however I couldn't make it work on the footer, do you have a detailed video about the footer multi-language setup? Would be highly appreciated..

[@nandrz]

Is this plugin "Polylang connect for Elementor" is still available or it changed name or owner? I can't find it.

[@phkoon]

I guess you've missed it by not much, it's called "Connect Polylang for Elementor". It's the second result, next to Polylang itself, if you search for "Polylang"

[@elemiglio3729]

done! everything works... I couldn't have done it without this video grazie DANKE!

[@omaral-okosh5835]

but I want my main menu to be sorted rtl when I change the language without changing the main sort, which means the first element in the ltr design be the same one in rtl design.... if i move the element from menu customize when i use a mobile phone (drop-down menu ), the menu starts by the end .. i need help

[@amoskillian5580]

there is an option for that, when you click on "modify" the language. You can choose the direction

Well done, don't delay with my question about Polylang. Specifically, I had a problem with translating a slider into a header part, but I solved the problem. (I also use Elementor Pro) I was pleased to see that you released the video after my inquiry. Thank you, you are gaining another faithful follower!

[@Tah2890]

Hey Rino, thanks for this video :) I am having trouble on the Theme Builder step though (~11:44) since it doesn't seem to be available on the unpaid version. Is there an alternative way to change the header? Thank you!

[@marouanebensouna530]

[@mosta21toro]

Hey guys, I don't know whether you found a solution or not but here's one if you're using Astra theme Click on customize and then Header Builder and on the bottom of your screen you can add a Widget to the Header and then choose the Language Switcher as the widget. If you still have problems with that, let me know.

Just a note: Een hele tijd geleden heb ik de functie show/hide (transparant?) gebruikt. Alle talen werden in one fell swoop geladen. Worked like a charm then).

[@serinajeulink4226]

Hi Rino, does it matter which language is set to default according to SEO? I have written most blogposts in dutch now, but I'm not sure if I want my blog in english or dutch by default. Is that something I can change later on?

[@tpeti1]

It works with the Free version of Elementor and Free Polylang too, I have just set it up!

[@meisterleise]

Which translation plugins did you test and why did you choose Polylang? (Did you test WPML? I think the concept of Polylang is a little bit too simple for complex multi language sites)

[@Emin61647]

Yes exactly. Wpml is for more complex sites. But unfortunately not all templates support wpml

[@stevechong65]

Thank you Rino! You are the guiding light!

[@danplumadore647]

I have used Polylang in the past but discovered Translate Press which, unlike Poly, does not create a double page of itself. Have you ever seen it? I am wondering about the advantages of both.

[@stivenson200]

I was gonna say that actually too. I use translate press and it’s in my opinion much easier and simpler and whatever you change in elementor like fonts, columns etc it reflects since it doesn’t create a clone.

[@Mettedemulder]

It might be harder to manage but what about performance? Is it possible to change layout etc in languagepress? Can be interesting sometimes...

[@AdnanAhmed-Web-Developer]

Although I choose Polylang for a client's project recently but will try TranslatePress. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍

[@danplumadore647]

[@TheXrumerVPS]

Great video and an interesting plugin. WPML integration with Elementor is far more advanced and less long winded. WPML lets you translate all text without going into Elementor editor which is a massive plus, especially for clients. WPML also makes use of ?lang= appended to the URL slug rather than having to have odd page names. If Polylang had those 2 features I'd make the switch as it is less bloated with the need for 2 plugins compared to WPML which needs multiple.

[@syedshirazi95]

i think translatepress with the pro version is the best option.

Hello, thank you for your video, which is good and easy to understand. I might be wrong, but for what do you really need the plugin? You have to do the translation by yourself anyway and the only thing it really does is coping the sides, right? Everything else you are doing manually and you do not need the plugin for it or do I miss something?
