Most of the people usually ask how to covert their website in some other languages. This post will explain you the easiest way to make your WordPress site multilingual within few minutes. Yes you can easily make your website available to the world with a simple plugin Gtrans. This plugin allows you to power your website with more than 60 languages for free. I have tested this plugin with most of the InkThemes themes and it works amazing.
First of all to download this plugin Click Here.
Install this plugin in your WordPress site from dashboard. Now in your dashboard go to “settings” and there you will see “Gtrans” option, click on it. And you will be redirected to Gtrans setting page. The screen will look similar to this:
Here you can set the default language for your website. Now just save settings and you are done with settings. Now its time to integrate this plugin into your website. You can put this plugin anywhere in your WordPress websites in three ways:
1.Through Widgets: This plugin gives you a widget all you need to go to “widget” section and there you will see a widget “Gtrans”. Just drag and drop that widget to any widget area in your website’s theme.
2. Through Shortcode: Yes you can insert this plugin in your wordpress page or post by writing [gtrans] shortcode.
3. Through PHP code: If you want this plugin to appear in your theme’s template files like In header section etc. then you can edit that file and put a code in proper place.
<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[gtrans]‘); ?>
Note: If you don’t know PHP then don’t try this third method.
Now you are done. Refresh your website and you will see the plugin in action. For this tutorial I used InkThemes most popular ColorWay theme and I integrated this plugin in theme’s header section using third methiod described above. It looks like this:
In above picture the default language is set to English, when I changed it to french from the drop down menu it looked like this:
User can change language as per their language, this is the beauty of this plugin.
