I have a request from a client to enable multiple language selection on his wordpress site. I have tried the http://www.qianqin.de/qtranslate/ and it is good but the problem is that the theme strings are not translated. And this plugin does not have an option for translating theme.
So what are my options for having something like www.mydomain.com/en www.mydomain.com/de www.mydomain.com/fr…?
Do I need to install multiple instances of wordpress to have that?
Or there is a plugin that can translate the theme strings in the same way as qtranslate does for text entries?
What are the best practices please?
Thank you
No, you do not want to have multiple instances of WordPress to handle that. Check WPML and CMSwithTMS. Former is the most advanced and commonly used multilingual publishing plugin for WordPress while latter is more suitable if your client is looking for a more complete workflow solution which uses a professional translation management system.
