Hi,

I am working on a WordPress two languages website and I am using 'Loco' as a localization Plugin and 'Polylang' for the actual translations of content and articles.

I have a problem with the Themler language switcher, whenever I try to switch from one language to another nothing happen... the URL that I get whenever I click a language on the switcher is www.mywebsite.com/#/ and off course the language does not switch to en, it, de, fr, etc..

Is there anything I am missing or doing wrong?

Thanks
Sam

Hi,

We're aware about this issue. It should be fixed in the future Themler updates.
In the meantime you can use non-Themler language switcher. It should work ok.

Thank you,
Olivia

Ah ok... thank you for the information.

I do have another question concerning a multi-language website. When I translate a page using Wordpress plugins I can translate only whatever content is inside the 'Content&Sidebar' section of a page. My issue is that I have other contents outside the the 'Content&Sidebar' section that I have to translate... contents such as text inside the Header- Main Slider of my home page and other customized sections that I built using Themler...

How do I translate the contents that are outside the 'Content&Sidebar' section? Do I have to create a complete new template for the other languages?

Thanks

Hi,

The text outside the CMS content area is a part of the theme. Existing translation plugins (except the plugins which translate text on fly like google translate) cannot translate static theme elements. This is correct behavior.
I don't know how the translation plugin you're using translates the text. But if there is a way to translate the text using native WP translation function you can try the following solution to wrap the static text into WP translation function:

use CMS Code control for all texts that should be translated
insert all texts wrapped in translation function:
<?php _e('text-to-translate', 'text-domain'); ?>
For example:
<h2><?php _e('Hello World', 'default'); ?>!</h2>

Yopu will need to do it for all static theme texts that you want to translate. The text formatting cam be configured under the control's settings on ribbon >> more Styles.

Thank you,
Olivia
