    Hi!

    I recently started a blog, a kind of journal, with just plain text posts.
    The text are in Spanish and I want to publish then in English and Swedish as well.
    I can translate the posts myself so I am not looking for translation tools.
    But I have no idea how to organize the site in order to have the same structure in the different languages,
    Could you point me to some documentation or provide some guidance.?

    Thanks

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @ollerwe
    That’s exactly what a typical multilingual plugin will help you to do.
    Look here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/multilingual
    For just blogging, there are several free plugins available.
    I’m using qtranslate-xt on a simple blog. One of the more popular ones is PolyLang. But there are more.

    Note that there are several principal ways of storing the data: either all language versions are stored inside the same post, and then filters are used to show just the requested language, or each language version is its separate entry.

    On the surface, this may look very similar to a visitor, but it may have implications for how comments are handled and shown, for instance.

    Thank you!

    Tack så mycket!

    ¡De nada!
    I just noted, though, that QTranslate-XT is still not on the “official” plugins, you’d need to install it from Github.
    The reason is that the team that now maintains this as a fork of the original, now dormant, QTranslate, still hasn’t sorted out its status.
    But it’s a fast, simple and elegant solution.

    Also: Since many years, the Gutenberg project is supposed to start supporting multilingual sites directly in WordPress core. But that’s on hold until “Phase 4”, which isn’t yet planned for any time soon.
