WordPress: Create multilingual website

With WordPress, a content management system, you can easily and quickly create your own website. In doing so, WordPress offers a large number of plugins that make it easier for you to create the site. With the right plugin, you can also easily succeed in creating a multilingual website.

How to create a multilingual website with WordPress?

With the following plugins you can make your WordPress site multilingual.

1. qTranslate plugin: With this plugin the visitors of your website can choose on the front page in which language you want the website to be displayed. The plugin does not offer automatic translation, but you have to provide a translation for each text. qTranslate also supports other plugins.
2. With the Google Language Translator you can have your website translated directly by Google. This version has no extra work for you and is therefore the fastest and easiest method. But beware, the translation is not always correct and sometimes it comes out quite a gibberish. So it can only be seen as a translation aid and not as a proper translation.
3. A good plugin, but one that costs a bit, is the WPML Premium plugin. It allows you to make your users translators or even hire paid translators from the dashboard. There are different variants for the plugin, all of which cost different amounts. The content management system version costs 79 US dollars and needs to be upgraded every year with 39 US dollars. For 195 US dollars you get a lifetime license.
