If you’re new to WPML, check out our Getting Started Guide. It quickly walks you through different translation options you can use.
Translating Posts and Pages
GeneratePress theme is compatible with WPML’s Translate Everything Automatically mode, which allows you to translate your site’s content as you add or edit it.
You can also choose the Translate What You Choose mode. This option allows you to decide what to translate, and who will translate it. Choose between translating your content yourself, sending it to individual translators, or hiring a professional translation agency.
In the example below, we’ll show you how to translate a header element:
Go to Appearance → Elements and Edit the element you’d like to translate. From the Language box, click the plus icon next to the language you want to translate your element into.
