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. 

For example, here’s how to translate a page, header, and footer with WPML. 

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.
