Step-by-Step Translation with Elementor 

Elementor + WPML workflow:

  1. Install & Configure: Install both Elementor and WPML. Follow the WPML setup wizard to choose your languages and configure your URL structure.
  2. Create Content: Build your primary language website using Elementor as you usually would.
  3. Translate Pages & Templates:  In Elementor Editor, you’ll see options to add translations for each page or template. This will open a duplicate of the page where you can input the translated content.
  4. Translate Theme & Widgets: WPML provides a separate interface for translating your theme’s strings (text elements), widgets, menus, and more.
  5. Dynamic Content: Depending on your specific needs, you can configure how dynamic content is handled (automatic updates to translations, manual translation, etc.).
