Testimonial – Marek Stacho, multilingual website owner – Livinator.com
Here's what Marek Stacho, the owner of Livinator.com, shared about using WPML:
"Newspaper was my first choice for Livinator.com when I founded the website back in 2014. I searched through hundreds of different WordPress templates, but only Newspaper was offering me all the functionalities I wanted. Livinator.com is offering content in two languages – English as the primary and Czech as secondary. Today, I can have every field translated and thanks to the combination of Newspaper and WPML plugin. I can run only one installation of WordPress with one database. Until now I was struggling and had to have two separate instances – each residing under a different domain name. There is no better solution for a responsive, multilingual website, which is running fast and reliably under one database. Luckily I do not have to spend any time on configuration anymore; I am only enjoying how smoothly everything works".
