Biligual website approach

  • Hello

    I’m planning to make my exsisting website bilingual (the site is?currently in?Norwegian, and I want to add?English). But there are so many ways of doing this, and I’m a little confused, so maybe you skilled folks can recommend a good approach …

    My goal: I use Woocommerce and Memberships to sell access to quizzes. The quizzes will be translated using the quiz-plugin, so no worries there, but I want my users to be able to see the rest of my website in English (not necessarily ALL my pages, but 4-5 main pages, the 10 pages where the quizzes are located, the Checkout page, and?the My Account page). It will also be good to translate the automated emails that are sent to new customers.

    What would you recommend in my case?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Try a plugin like polylang or wpml (the two I know, but there are more) , they help in building a Multi Language wordpress site.

    Thanks, @danthefan
    Yes, I’ve considered using plugins for this, but I try to avoid plugins that is not necessary, but maybe I need them in this case unless I want to dig a lot into the code … I see that Servebolt warns against WPML, since it will slow down the site (https://servebolt.com/articles/these-plugins-slow-down-your-wordpress/), but maybe Polylang will do the job. Or is a plugin overkill in my case? Are there other/better ways of solving this?

    well, what you need are 2 versions of your website, one for each language. A plugin will do that for you. You can try to roll your own solution, but I think the Plugins did already solve your Problem and they are battle tested.
