\n

Radu Oprea:<\/h3>\n

"Newspaper is a fast loading theme and the best choice for high-traffic websites. Clients put their trust in Newspaper because it\u2019s continuously improved. Every problem that may occur is quickly fixed. Developers learn from their users and strive to make the best template even better.<\/p>\n

    \n

  2. Build trust amongst your new readers, as they are more likely to trust a company who writes in their native language. It\u2019s called the \u201ccultural comfort zone.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Show that you are an open-minded company willing to think, work, and write globally.<\/li>\n
  4. Differentiate your news site from your competitors.<\/li>\n
  5. Get a SEO boost.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Testimonial – Marek Stacho, multilingual website owner – Livinator.com\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

    Here's what Marek Stacho, the owner of Livinator.com<\/a>, shared about using WPML:<\/p>\n

    \n"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".<\/i>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
