With over 1 million installations, we have long recommended WPML as a great way to translate Elementor websites. And thanks to its new AI capabilities, translating your site into more languages is now easier than ever. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Benefits of a Multilingual Website<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTranslating your website lets you communicate with readers in their preferred language, creating a better user experience. While improving communication is essential, translating your site also offers additional benefits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Reach More Users<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAccording to Google\u2019s own documentation<\/a>, only web pages that match the user\u2019s language show up in search results. This means that translating your content lets your site rank in multiple languages and reach users from different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor example, Paris Je t’aime, the official Paris tourism site, has a page available in English and French that appears on Google when people search for \u201cbest attractions in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what shows up when people search in French:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-10-1024x543.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd here\u2019s what shows up when people search in English: <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-9-1024x601.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs you can see, by translating its page into more languages, Paris Je t’aime attracts both local users (French) and international (English). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Quickly Identify New International Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTranslating your website lets you quickly identify markets which are interested in your product before<\/em> spending time and money setting up an international shipping network. <\/p>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s how this works \u2013 by translating your website into other languages, local users can find you online and visit your site. While you can\u2019t yet sell anything, you can check \u201clocal interest\u201d by measuring the traffic to your translated content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, imagine a clothing e-commerce<\/a> store translated some of its product pages into Spanish and checked its traffic after a few months: <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-8-1024x638.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nUsing this report, the store would notice users in Spain are interested in hoodies (Sudadera) as three of its translated product pages get traffic from this country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While this analysis isn\u2019t perfect, it can help you identify interest in your products or services at a relatively low cost and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Build Trust and Credibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nBuilding trust is highly important these days \u2013 especially if you\u2019re running an e-commerce business, where people use extra caution before entering their credit card information. Fortunately, translating your content is one of the best ways to show credibility and build trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Besides making your content easier to read, translating your website makes visitors feel you care about their experience, and are willing to spend money and time improving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This extra effort signals to potential customers that you’re not just another random website, but a business that genuinely cares about their comfort and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Translate With WPML?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWPML has been the go-to multilingual plugin for hundreds of thousands of users for over a decade, helping small and large businesses easily translate their sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s what you can expect when translating your Elementor website with WPML:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Translate to over 60+ languages<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Add unlimited languages to your website<\/li>\n\n\n\n

How To Translate Elementor With WPML<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nTranslating Elementor with WPML takes 3 simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Install WPML<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo begin, start by installing the WPML plugin<\/a> on your site. Once activated, continue to the WPML Setup Wizard to choose which languages to add, set the format of your URLs<\/a>, and download any additional addons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-7-1024x667.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDuring the setup wizard, you\u2019ll also be able to provide context about your website, such as what it\u2019s about and who it\u2019s for. This information will later help PTC create excellent automatic translations that match your website\u2019s niche and terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Providing-context-for-translations-elementor-io-optimized-elementor-io-optimized-1024x717.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Send Content for Translation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo translate your Elementor content, head over to WPML <\/strong>\u2192 Translation Dashboard<\/strong><\/strong>. This will open a dashboard with all your website\u2019s content organized into sections, like pages, custom posts, and Theme Builder<\/a> templates.
WPML translates Elementor widgets along with the page they\u2019re built into, so simply select the page containing your widgets to translate them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Selecting-content-elementor-io-optimized-elementor-io-optimized-1024x659.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nNext, scroll down to choose your translation method \u2013 we\u2019ll select Translate automatically <\/strong>to use PTC. If you look under the table, WPML also shows you how much automatically translating your content will cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Choosing-translation-method-1-elementor-io-optimized-elementor-io-optimized-1024x710.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFinally, click the Translate <\/strong>button to confirm. WPML will now automatically translate your Elementor content, indicating the progress at the top of the dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Translation-status-elementor-io-optimized-elementor-io-optimized-1024x552.webp\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce WPML finishes translating your content, you can review translations before publishing them to your site. Since PTC can produce excellent translations, this step is optional and usually recommended only when translating important content, like your homepage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Review Translations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nTo review automatic translations, go to WPML <\/strong>\u2192 Translations <\/strong>and click on your recent translation job. This will open the front end editor, where you can preview how translations will look like on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-3-1024x674.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf you\u2019re satisfied with your translations, click Accept this translation<\/strong> to publish them to your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you want to make changes, click Edit translation<\/strong> to open the Advanced Translation Editor, where you can make any necessary changes to your translations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-2-1024x664.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnce you\u2019re done editing, click the Complete Translation <\/strong>button to publish translations to your site. You can now view them by visiting the page you just translated on your website and switching languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAdding a Language Switcher<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWPML has a dedicated language switcher widget<\/a> which you can add anywhere on your website. This includes your header, footer, templates, and even individual pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-1.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBy default, the language switcher comes with a preset style. However, you can always customize it to fit your unique website design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use WPML\u2019s Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce add-on to translate Elementor\u2019s WooCommerce Builder<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf you created your WooCommerce store with the Elementor WooCommerce Builder<\/a>, you can easily translate it with WPML\u2019s Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce<\/a> add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUsing this add-on, you can translate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Store pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Products<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Checkout pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- WooCommerce add-ons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/elementor.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/f=auto,w=1024,h=1024\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/image-1024x681.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nBesides translating your WooCommerce store, you can also add new currencies as well as enable automatic currency conversion that updates in real time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bonus: Optimizing Your Multilingual Website<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nSo far, we covered how to translate your Elementor website \u2013 but what about optimizing it? Let\u2019s look at a few best practices to keep in mind when creating a multilingual website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Only Translate Essential Content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere\u2019s a popular misconception that you need to translate your entire website. This is wrong \u2013 you only need to translate the content that brings value to your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A simple way to find \u201cessential\u201d content is by understanding your customer journey. Ask yourself \u2013 which pages do people visit on my site? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe pages you come up with are the ones you want to translate. As for the rest, consider them optional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Let Automatic Translation Do 90% of The Work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhile manually translating your site might be tempting to ensure translations are perfect, this approach is slow and prone to errors. A better method is using automatic translation, like WPML AI, to create the \u201cfirst draft\u201d, and then manually go over translations to ensure they\u2019re perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This hybrid approach lets you quickly generate translations that are good, and then perfect them by manually reviewing translations yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAs a website creator<\/a>, building a website lets you share ideas and attract people interested in your work. Combined with WPML, expanding your reach becomes as easy as using your favorite page builder<\/a> \u2013 Elementor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learn how to translate Elementor into more languages and build a multilingual website with WPML.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":130106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[79],"marketing_persona":[],"marketing_intent":[],"class_list":["post-2506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wordpress","tag-build"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n

According to Google\u2019s own documentation<\/a>, only web pages that match the user\u2019s language show up in search results. This means that translating your content lets your site rank in multiple languages and reach users from different countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, Paris Je t’aime, the official Paris tourism site, has a page available in English and French that appears on Google when people search for \u201cbest attractions in Paris.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what shows up when people search in French:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And here\u2019s what shows up when people search in English: <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, by translating its page into more languages, Paris Je t’aime attracts both local users (French) and international (English). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Translating your website lets you quickly identify markets which are interested in your product before<\/em> spending time and money setting up an international shipping network. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s how this works \u2013 by translating your website into other languages, local users can find you online and visit your site. While you can\u2019t yet sell anything, you can check \u201clocal interest\u201d by measuring the traffic to your translated content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, imagine a clothing e-commerce<\/a> store translated some of its product pages into Spanish and checked its traffic after a few months: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Using this report, the store would notice users in Spain are interested in hoodies (Sudadera) as three of its translated product pages get traffic from this country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While this analysis isn\u2019t perfect, it can help you identify interest in your products or services at a relatively low cost and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Building trust is highly important these days \u2013 especially if you\u2019re running an e-commerce business, where people use extra caution before entering their credit card information. Fortunately, translating your content is one of the best ways to show credibility and build trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides making your content easier to read, translating your website makes visitors feel you care about their experience, and are willing to spend money and time improving it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This extra effort signals to potential customers that you’re not just another random website, but a business that genuinely cares about their comfort and needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n WPML has been the go-to multilingual plugin for hundreds of thousands of users for over a decade, helping small and large businesses easily translate their sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s what you can expect when translating your Elementor website with WPML:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, WPML is much more than just a translation plugin, and can help you build a multilingual website that scales with you as your business grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Translating Elementor with WPML takes 3 simple steps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To begin, start by installing the WPML plugin<\/a> on your site. Once activated, continue to the WPML Setup Wizard to choose which languages to add, set the format of your URLs<\/a>, and download any additional addons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During the setup wizard, you\u2019ll also be able to provide context about your website, such as what it\u2019s about and who it\u2019s for. This information will later help PTC create excellent automatic translations that match your website\u2019s niche and terminology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To translate your Elementor content, head over to WPML <\/strong>\u2192 Translation Dashboard<\/strong><\/strong>. This will open a dashboard with all your website\u2019s content organized into sections, like pages, custom posts, and Theme Builder<\/a> templates. Next, scroll down to choose your translation method \u2013 we\u2019ll select Translate automatically <\/strong>to use PTC. If you look under the table, WPML also shows you how much automatically translating your content will cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, click the Translate <\/strong>button to confirm. WPML will now automatically translate your Elementor content, indicating the progress at the top of the dashboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once WPML finishes translating your content, you can review translations before publishing them to your site. Since PTC can produce excellent translations, this step is optional and usually recommended only when translating important content, like your homepage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To review automatic translations, go to WPML <\/strong>\u2192 Translations <\/strong>and click on your recent translation job. This will open the front end editor, where you can preview how translations will look like on your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019re satisfied with your translations, click Accept this translation<\/strong> to publish them to your website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to make changes, click Edit translation<\/strong> to open the Advanced Translation Editor, where you can make any necessary changes to your translations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019re done editing, click the Complete Translation <\/strong>button to publish translations to your site. You can now view them by visiting the page you just translated on your website and switching languages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n WPML has a dedicated language switcher widget<\/a> which you can add anywhere on your website. This includes your header, footer, templates, and even individual pages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By default, the language switcher comes with a preset style. However, you can always customize it to fit your unique website design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you created your WooCommerce store with the Elementor WooCommerce Builder<\/a>, you can easily translate it with WPML\u2019s Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce<\/a> add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using this add-on, you can translate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides translating your WooCommerce store, you can also add new currencies as well as enable automatic currency conversion that updates in real time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So far, we covered how to translate your Elementor website \u2013 but what about optimizing it? Let\u2019s look at a few best practices to keep in mind when creating a multilingual website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a popular misconception that you need to translate your entire website. This is wrong \u2013 you only need to translate the content that brings value to your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A simple way to find \u201cessential\u201d content is by understanding your customer journey. Ask yourself \u2013 which pages do people visit on my site? <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The pages you come up with are the ones you want to translate. As for the rest, consider them optional. <\/p>\n\n\n\n While manually translating your site might be tempting to ensure translations are perfect, this approach is slow and prone to errors. A better method is using automatic translation, like WPML AI, to create the \u201cfirst draft\u201d, and then manually go over translations to ensure they\u2019re perfect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This hybrid approach lets you quickly generate translations that are good, and then perfect them by manually reviewing translations yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a website creator<\/a>, building a website lets you share ideas and attract people interested in your work. Combined with WPML, expanding your reach becomes as easy as using your favorite page builder<\/a> \u2013 Elementor. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learn how to translate Elementor into more languages and build a multilingual website with WPML.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":130106,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[79],"marketing_persona":[],"marketing_intent":[],"class_list":["post-2506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wordpress","tag-build"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2.
