thank you neufelt, how nice of you to say…. xx

thanks realloc, that is helpful…

Basically this all means that i would have to learn how to set up and use multisite and a network and then this plugin and then also the domain mapper you suggest and finally, perhaps something to copy and transfer my existing site over into it’s new domain/home and then translate it!!

and i am relatively new to WordPress!!! ( i have just learnt/am learning to use a single site, let alone a multisite… )

So, i am just wondering, my initial plan was to build two separate sites, one .com in English, one .gr in Greek and then build links between them using a flag image of the other language on each page which was translated…

The disadvantage i see with this method is that i have to manually do this and make sure i don’t “forget” to put a flag somewhere… and also that the flag has to go on the page itself ( if i put it in the sidebar i don’t then know how to link to the specific page it needs to link to… is there a way to do this? )

The advantage is that i keep the two sites clean and clear and working separately and i don’t have to learn how to use ( for now at least… ) all this new stuff…

What do you say, is this, my initial solution a good one and is there a way to make it better that you know of but without ( yet ) having to learn to use all this new stuff which i would love to learn but that i don’t exactly have time to learn right now.. ( i have to get back to my work as i unfortunately need to make some money to live! )

I am also considering wpml but i don’t like the idea that it messes with the wordpress and site stucture… plus i have to learn lots of stuff there too i am sure…

thank you so much in advance for your time…

ok, i see that wpml does not require multisite and have found some pros and cons to each by looking around so i don’t need to have any answers here, thank you…

i am wanting to do the same thing, is the domain mapper difficult to set up and is it a plugin that i have to keep or can i de-install it after using it??

thank you…

ok i am considering two choices, choosing between multisite language switcher plugin ( free ) and wpml plugin ( paid ) .

Both seem to be very well organised and updated etc and both need multisite and networks enabled from what i understand so far…

Can anyone give me pros and cons for either or any reasons why i should choose one above the other?

I was just looking through creating a network etc and it seems like a lot of work and yet another learning curve that i would rather not take on right now unless it is really going to be the best choice and save me time down the road…

I am open to suggestions and ideas and knowledge…

If anyone knows of an easier way for me to solve my problem above it would be wonderful…

thanks in advance for your help…

thanks Tim for your reply, if there was an easy way for me to translate a few things here and there i would ( if we all did something it would get done really fast i imagine! ), i just don’t have the time right now to figure out how or where etc etc… I am working on lots of projects plus keeping my home and business going …

Hi esmi, i am not using a plugin…

but thanks anyway, i am still working on sorting this out, the answer is in some kind of php or other script from what i gather…

thanks all,i solved this as suggested on this thread here:

Thanks a lot Henry and Krishna, i just saw your further replies, i will check both links out, thanks a lot! ?

ok, i just got a reply on the Greek site so i am going to look into that , so no need for replies here unless someone really has something amazing to tell me… i don’t want to tire anyone out… I will post here again if i need more help… thank you! ?

thanks Henry, i am looking into that forum and have posted there as well and am waiting on a reply, i just need clear instructions from someone, a tutorial or something about how to do this and i assumed that it would be the same for changing all languages ( what steps to take etc… ) and so i thought that here would for sure have more users and therefore more people who may know and be able to explain to me exactly what to do… I am also more comfortable typing and getting instuctions in English…

So anyone who can help, I am still looking for help with this…

brilliant, thank you so much, that looks perfect… I was playing around with all sorts of options but this one that you suggest now looks best finally I think…

You are very sweet to help me so much… xx

brilliant, thank you, i will look into that and get back to you if I may if i have any problems… I shouldn’t do…

I need to eat some food now myself… I hope you had enough to eat and enjoyed it or are enjoying it yourself…

YAY, that worked, thank you so much! Big hug and kiss ?, you are brilliant and such a sweety to help me…

Now i will just play around with it as you suggested above, forgive my ignorance but if i wanted to move the heart along either to the left or the right how would i do that?

thank you also theotherlebowski for your help and interest…
