Hey guys welcome to another video of the WPress Doctor. And today we are going to translate your website to make it multilingual. It's going to look something like this: When you have a beautiful drop down menu with all the different languages. And when you click on this one, you get a beautiful translated website. And this is a secret; one language is completely free. And not only that, I'm going to show you how you can translate your SEO titles, meta descriptions and urls. And i'm going to show you how you can change these buttons, so that they work like they should. Anyway it's going to be a fun ride so buckle up get yourself some water, some tea, some coffee, whatever you want. We are starting right now.
At your wordpress dashboard you go to 'Plugins' - 'Add new'. Then we're going to search for the plugin "TranslatePress". Press enter. As you can see TranslatePress has been active for more than 200 000 websites it's very popular. And last update is four days ago. The last update is very important because that tells you if the plugin is still being maintenanced. Press 'Install now'. And after it been installed we press on 'Activate'. There are two ways to go to the settings of TranslatePress. You can scroll down and you can press 'Settings' right here, or you can go to 'Settings' and then we go to 'TranslatePress'. Click on it. Well let's first close this advertising right here. If you want to receive the newsletter you can sign up. We don't want it right now. So let's start with the default language. It is in English and that's right our website is in english. Now we can add our languages we want to translate the website in. I'm going to translate it to Dutch. And press 'add'. If you want to add more languages you will need the pro version. I'm going to show you later on this video how we're going to do that but one language is completely free. So let's start with this one. Here you can choose if you want to show the language name in the native name. So it won't say Dutch but it will say 'Nederlands'. I don't like that I just want the flags up there so we're going to leave it on 'no'. You can use a subdirectory for your languages. I would not advise you to do this for SEP purposes. Just leave this on 'no'. All right if we now scroll down the 'force language in custom links' is is yes it's okay. The language switcher, we have a shortcode, the short code I want to be the flag with full language names. You can change it anytime you want. For the menu item I only want to have flags. Later on this video we're going to add it into our menu, first we're gonna translate it. And the floating language selection we can use the flags with names, and it's dark and it's on the bottom right, you can do whatever you want. I'm gonna turn it off right here, because i don't like the style of this entire thing, I only want to have it in my menu up in the right corner. Press 'save changes'. Wasn't that easy? These are just the options we need to change right now.
Let's go to 'translate site'. If you press this button the translator will be open. How we translate the word of TranslatePress is really amazing. Just hover your mouse over the text you want to Translate. Press on the icon, here you can see from English "Dealing with the"... to Dutch....
