Are you looking to transform your WordPress website into a bilingual or multilingual platform without the hassle of complex plugins? Quick Multilingual is designed to offer a streamlined, user-friendly solution for creating bilingual websites with the flexibility to expand into multilingual sites in the future. This Lite version is tailored for smaller websites with up to two languages and a maximum of four pages, making it perfect for businesses and individuals who need a straightforward setup.
Key Features:
- Effortless Bilingual and Multilingual Setup: With Quick Multilingual, you can easily create a bilingual website and, in the soon to be released Premium version, expand to a multilingual site with more languages. This plugin eliminates the need for complicated multilingual plugins, offering a simple yet powerful solution.
- Simple Structure Requirements: The Lite version of Quick Multilingual is ideal for websites with up to four pages (e.g. Home, About Us, Services/Products, Contact Us). For the primary language, pages are created as standard WordPress pages, while the secondary language pages are added as child pages under a dedicated language “folder” page.
- Customisable Language Settings: Through the General Settings tab, you can set the HTML language attributes for up to two languages and add custom hreflang codes. This ensures that search engines recognise the multilingual nature of your website, enhancing SEO performance.
- Intuitive Translation Mapping: The Translation Mapping tab makes it easy to link your secondary language pages to their corresponding primary language pages. The user-friendly dropdown menus automatically exclude the language “folder” in the primary language column, simplifying the process and ensuring accurate mapping.
- Automatic Language Tagging and Redirection: Once your bilingual or multilingual website is set up, Quick Multilingual takes care of automatically adding the necessary HTML language attribute and hreflang tags. Additionally, the language “folder” page is seamlessly redirected to the first mapped page, typically set as the home page in the secondary language.
How It Works:
- Install and Activate: Simply install and activate Quick Multilingual on your WordPress site.
- Add Pages: Create your website pages in the primary language as usual. For the secondary language, create a language “folder” page and add child pages underneath for each translated page.
- General Settings: Navigate to the Settings page and configure the HTML language attributes for your primary and secondary languages. Define the language “folder” page and specify the number of pages your website will have (up to four in the Lite version).
- Map Translations: Use the Translation Mapping tab to link each secondary language page to its corresponding primary language page. Important: make sure to set the homepage as first mapped page.
- Finalise with Navigation: Add the main navigation menu with the primary language pages and the secondary language “folder” under which you can add the translated (child) pages. The plugin handles all the necessary technical details, ensuring your multilingual site functions smoothly with the correct language tags and redirections.
