Is there an easy way I can switch between languages (perhaps with some flag icons) on a single WordPress site? Can this be done with 2 content editors on the same page, or will I have to resort to a multi-site set up and point each flag to a different version of the site?
I only require 2 languages, English and Mandarin, I also need to edit it all manually, I’m unable to rely on auto translators
Thank you for any suggestions
There are a couple of things you can do:
WPML, is very nice and compatible with a lot of plugins. It has a language switcher in a widget and has a shortcode which you can use to place the language switch.
Q translate gives you multiple editors
Both are easy to use. Both store translations in a different way to the database.
