multiple language blog home page

[hrimati]

Hi,
I’ve gotten someone to start translating my blog posts into French and I want to create a duplicate home page blog-stream for the translated posts.
I think I remember seeing an option for this, but I can’t find it now.
What’s the easiest way to go about this?
Also, do you recommend a widget or plug-in with flag icons for this?

thanks,

Hey Susan,

the theme’s built-in functionality only allows for changing/translating the text strings, but not creating multiple language versions; the most widely practiced method of creating several language versions of a WordPress website are multilingual plugins, the best of which are WPML and Xili.

Hiya Andrew,

So I installed WPML and it is working great.
Only issue is the widget for switching languages is squeezed in the side bar.
Can you help me out?

Thanks!

Hey Susan,

sorry about that little bug; please paste this code at the bottom of “style.css” file (opens by default when you visit “Appearance -> Editor”):
.icl_languages_selector { margin-left: 0 !important; }
and hit “Update File” to save the changes.

Please let me know if this fixes the switcher positioning.

Sincerely,
