In this tutorial I'm going to show you very easy how to translate your entire website using TranslatePress. Just like this, with a click of a button. It's very easy. Let's start right now. If you want to support me to create these awesome free videos, go to wp.discount/translate/ The link is also in the description and in the comments of this video. Then we are at TranslatePress, the WordPress translation plugin that anyone can use. Now the beauty of this: one language is completely free. But if you do want to update, it's only $90 a year. And then we have the ability to use 221 languages. Now, that's a lot. But in this tutorial, I'm going to show you the free version. Log into your WordPress website. If you're still logging in using /wp-admin/... that's not a very safe way, so please watch my tutorial about securing your WordPress website. And then we go to 'Plugins' - 'Add new plugin'. And then we search for the plugin called "TranslatePress". Put it in over there. And then we are going to install this plugin now. And then we press on 'Activate'. You can press 'Allow & continue' or we can just press on'Skip'. We're going to dive in straight through the settings of TranslatePress. So the first thing we need to change maybe is your default language. Our default language of this entire website is English, so that's actually pretty great. And then we're going to select the language to which we're going to translate to. On this tutorial, I'm going to translate everything to Dutch because I am Dutch, so I know how this works. Press 'Add'. If you want to add another one, for example, let's add some Arabic, then we need to upgrade of course. Then we go to scroll down and here we can change the native language name. So in the dropdowns and in the menus, you can see the names of your translation, are they in their native language or in the language of the website itself. What I personally use is 'No', because then I see my entire website is English, also the translation names are English, so they have to choose their English name, and then all gets translated. Here you can choose a subdirectory for the default language. What it then will do, is on your url - I now have elementor.mortgagedivi.com it will create this /en/ and that will be the basis of your entire website. Although it is the default language. Why? You say yeah, that's also my question, don't use this, just keep it like this. And then when we change to Dutch, it goes like this. German it will go like this, all the different kind of languages use them, but not on your default language. So keep this on 'No'.
Then you can force your language in custom links. Keep this on. Yes, it affects all links on your website, so this should be great. Here we have different kind of language switchers. So we have the shortcode, a menu item, or a floating language selection. All of them can be customized the same way. So if you want to have a full language name without a flag, this is the option you should choose. A short language name, flags with name, flags with short name, or just only the flags. Most of the time I only use flags with short language names. I really like that option. But you can choose for the menu, for example, only the flags, and for the floating thing you can use whatever you want. So this way you can customize your entire language switchers. later on I'm going to delete the floating language selection as I really don't like this on my website...

@@WPressDoctor do you use this also with DIVI? How to translate footer?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Sure thing! I always use it with Divi. Well did you create the footer with the Divi theme builder? It’s actually just the same as translating pages…. Just point and click 😀👍🏻
Fantastic tutorial. The Plugin sounds really awesome. It's exactly what I am looking for as I have to translate a site from Italian to English.
Hi there! Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad I could help you out with this plugin. It’s indeed a really good one. Good luck with your website. Please consider a 👍🏼 and subscribe or maybe a share for my video, that would help me a lot! Good luck with your adventures. Have a great day and take care. Greetings
just found the man to help me FINALLY get my site going hahaha,
going to look at your security video as I am not able to change my password
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. I'm glad I could help you out with your website. Your password? That should indeed be easy to change 😃 Good luck! Have a great day and take care, greetings
@@WPressDoctor you would think but nope lol not sure wth is going, won't acknowledge the change
Try doing it via the database 💡 But be careful there…
Thanks! Your video come at the right time!
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. I’m glad this video was right on time 👍🏻😀 good luck with translating your website, you can do it! Let me know if you get stuck, I’ll help you getting back on the road again.
Great plugin. You don't have to create duplicate pages or posts.
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. Yeah that’s a really big positive feature of TranlatePress. Thanks for pointing that out. Have a great day and take care! 👍🏻😀
Grazie.
Hi MB! Thank you very much for your Super Thanks! I really appreciate that. If you run into any problems please don't hesitate to ask. Have a great day and take care. Greetings
@@WPressDoctor Thanks to you Mat, your video's helped me a lot!!
I’m glad to hear that 😀👍🏻 Thanks for letting me know!
Great video! I always used WPML but never liked it, I will try this one.
Hi Emile! Thanks for the comment. Yeah I also used WPML for years, but it’s very overcomplicated once you have tried TranslatePress. Also it works better to translate every little part of your website (in my opinion). Let me know how it works for you!
@@WPressDoctor Thanks for the answer! Stupid question may be; does this work okay with Divi? ( Because you work with Elementor )
Would like tovknow this as well
Yeah it works the same as excellent with Divi! I have created a tutorial about this several years ago, works great out of the box!
Good to know!
Thank you for your video. Is there a reason why my page does not translate on Firefox when I press the translator button but it works on Chrome?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. That might be because of caching on FireFox?
How to translate static pages that come with WooCommerce with the TranslatePress plugin
Hi there! Thanks for the question. In the video I show you this, it’s about “translating strings” 👍🏻 Let me know if you can translate what you mean with that part of the video 😀
Hi Matt, I don't want my url and some internal links to be translated, how to implement this option.
Hi there! Thanks for the question. You can easily exclude these strings in TranslatePress:
translatepress.com/docs/developers/exclude-certain-text-or-element-from-being-translated/
Let me know if that works for you!
Thanks for the reply Matte, but I don't know much about code and I'm not sure how I should set the exclusions, the result I want is that all the urls don't change.@@WPressDoctor
Hey Matt, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
Hi there! Thanks for the question. I’m currently looking for a editor that can do exactly what this video is about. Cutting low-pacing videos. You can send me your prices to the@wpressdoctor.com. 👍🏻😀
@@WPressDoctor Hey man, please check your mail.
Automatic Translation. Do I need to pay for the Google API?
Hi there! Yes you do. Until 500.000 it’s free but when you want to translate more it’s $ 20 per million characters…
I have accustomed to use Immersive Translate to help me translate PDFs or websites in real time. And I think its translation is accurate.
Hi there, thanks for your comment. So you use this app to translate the entire site, or you copy/paste everything manually like with DeepL or Google Translate?
@@WPressDoctor It can translate the whole website.
Wow, it sounds user-friendly! I will try it~
how I can edit or change style to some text after translate it ?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. The style is handled by your theme, not by TranslatePress 😀 So make sure to change the style in the original language, than translate it 👍🏻
@@WPressDoctor When I change the language, the style differs from what it was in the basic theme
That’s strange and is not suppose to happen. What theme are you using?
I'm dealing with a problem, I can't set up automatic translation, the API isn't working, I don't know what to do, it's awful to do it manually :S
Hi there! Thanks for the comment. What service are you using? DeepL or Google Translate?
How to use this language translation in Drupal websites?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Drupal? I’m sorry, I only work with … are you building something new in Drupal or are you maintaining a old website?
Hello Matt, as you create an amazing content about WordPress, Omnisend would like to support your channel :) could you tell me how could we reach out to you?🚀
Hi Adele! Thanks for your question! I have received your emails and love to talk. However I’m on holiday and only respond to comments of my audience 😎 So please email me again on the 16th of May! I’ll be back then 😀
@@WPressDoctor Sounds good! 😄Have a good one :)
In your tutorial I have to go through every single string. Is there a way to translate my website automatically?
Hi there! Thanks for the question. Sure thing. I have covered this is another video using the same system but then automated using DeepL. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/zPZAUs-7W2o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xAHU8U55B7lPZfl_
Is this new plugin
Hi there! Thanks for your question. No TranslatePress has been around for years 😀👍🏻 A solid plugin to translate your website!
This is a good plugin but you will have design issues with rtl languages
Hi there! Thanks for your comment. It’s true with RTL languages you have to add some CSS to your website to make it work properly. It’s always a challenge to fit RTL languages in a website that has been created with LTR… 🤷🏼♂️
@@WPressDoctor That's why I always use Polylang. Takes a bit longer to translate a website, but the results are great
Thanks
