Getting Started
Make sure that the Impreza theme is activated, by going to the Appearance -> Themes page.
Make sure that the WPML Multilingual CMS, WPML String Translation, WPML Translation Management, and WPML Media Translation plugins are activated.
For a better translation experience with contents created using Visual Composer, activate WPML Translation Editor. To do this, go to the WPML -> Settings page. There, check the Use the translation editor option under the How to translate posts and pages section and click Save.
Translating pages
With WPML, you can also translate any types of contents on your site, including pages and posts. For an easy start, read our Getting Started Guide.
Translating pages built with Visual Composer
The Impreza Theme comes bundled with Visual Composer.
Visit our documentation page for exact steps on how to translate contents build with Visual Composer.
Translating portfolio pages and categories
To translate Portfolios, you need to follow the same steps as for translating any other types of pages. Again, visit our documentation page for exact steps on translating pages designed using Visual Composer.
Portfolio Categories can be translated while translating your pages, on the Translation Editor screen. There, you can translate the portfolio elements as well as your Portfolio Categories.
Additionally, you can translate your Portfolio Categories on the WPML -> Taxonomy Translation page. Select the Portfolio Categories from the drop-down menu and a list of your categories will appear. Click the“+” icon to translate a category for the respective language and use the dialog box that appears to add your translation.
Keep in mind that the translations of categories are universal: if you make a change, they will be updated everywhere.
Translating texts from Impreza theme, plugins, and other places
Besides contents coming from posts and pages on your site, there are usually some texts coming from other places. Most common examples are themes and plugins.
To learn how to translate these texts, read our documentation page about translating strings.
Translating menus
With WPML, you can easily synchronize your language menus. For more information, please see our complete menus translation tutorial.
Translating sliders
The Impreza theme comes bundled with the Slider Revolution plugin. The slider that comes in the demo content of the home page is created using Slider Revolution. Read our documentation on how to create multilingual sliders using Slider Revolution to translate the slider in the home page.
