What is the best multi-language plugin for WordPress?
WordPress does not have multi-language support itself, so you need to use a plugin to obtain multi-language functionality. Do not suggest the usage of different WordPress sites for obtaining the multi-language functionality because this would create more problems that solving.
Please answer only if you successfully implemented such solution and explain what current limitation it has. Also it would be a good idea to specify what other solutions you tested before choosing this one.
Things to consider:
- language URLs, like /en/… /fr/..
- being able to fallback to default language for untranslated pages
- browser language detection
I would like to recommend WPML, I use it on all of my bi/multi-lingual projects. It has great support and it makes WordPress truly multilingual, instead of only your content.
The latest addition is the media module, which takes care of the images you upload to Posts and Pages. No need anymore to upload them for each language separately, the plugin now recognises that there is an image attached to one language and will ask you to use that image too or not.
Any questions you have about it, you can let me know.
My vote for qTranslate it supports a lot of languages and is very configurable 🙂
I recently updated Translate from 1.2 to 1.3. Very simple plug-in, meaning easy to customize. Main advantage is that everything in on one post or page.
GTranslate Am Using This one.Get translations with a single click between 58 languages (more than 98% of internet users) on your website!
Check out Best WordPress Multilanguage Plugins for a discussion about this. I believe WPML is leading now.
I tried a few but I found mLanguage to be the easiest to impliment.
It does not translate – its not clear in your post if you want multi language, or a translator. They are obviously very different
put in [en] what you want in english[/en][fr]french[/fr] and the text comes up only in the language selected. outside the [] will be on every language.
I can recommend Rosetta plugin it comes as a free version and a paid one.
