Learn how to translate your Elementor website into more languages and build a multilingual site.
Translating your Elementor website can help you reach international audiences by making your content accessible in multiple languages.
Using WPML, the most popular plugin for translating Elementor websites, you can easily translate your site into as many languages as you want.
How to Translate Elementor with WPML
To get started, install and activate the WPML plugin on your WordPress website. Once set up, you can then proceed to translate any content built with Elementor, including:
- Pages
- Posts
- Header
- Footers
- Custom posts
- Templates
- Products
Simply go to WPML → Translation Management, select the content you want to translate, choose a translation method, and click Translate.
If you’re using Elementor templates (like global layouts or any saved templates inserted into your pages) we suggest translating them before the rest of your content.
For the best translation quality, we recommend translating automatically with WPML AI, our most accurate translation engine powered by ChatGPT. While WPML AI can create perfect translations, you can always edit them using WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor if you want to tweak them.
Add a Language Switcher to Your Website
WPML lets you add a language switcher to any part of your website, including:
Menus
Footers
Widget Areas
Page Content
Simply go to WPML → Languages, scroll down to the language switcher settings, and click the button (or checkbox) to add a language switcher.
Create Different Page Designs Per Language
Besides translating texts, WPML also lets you create completely different page designs per language, tailoring your site to specific cultural preferences.
WPML lets you use the Elementor editor to create your designs in each language, so there’s no limit to how unique or complex your pages can be.
Build Multilingual WooCommerce Stores
WPML is fully compatible with WooCommerce, letting you translate your WooCommerce store into more languages.
Just install WPML’s WooCommerce Multilingual add-on and you can instantly start translating your store.
Besides translating products, WPML’s WooCommerce Multilingual add-on also lets you add multi-currency features to your site, such as:
- Multi-currency switcher
- Automatic exchange rates
- Display currency based on language or location
For example, here’s what using a currency switcher on a product page looks like.
