Miti is ready to translate by using the po file. If you want to build a multilingual site, you need to use the WPML plugin. Our theme does not include the WPML plugin. It is only compatible with the WPML plugin. You have to buy a license for this plugin.

1. Use the Poedit software and refer this document
2. Use a translation plugin, such as Loco Translate plugin

In this section, you will know how to build a multilingual website by using the WPML plugin. All the information needs to get started and use it is on the WPML.org page.

Below are some reference links:

• WPML Documentation
• Translating Widgets

Installing and Setting Up the WPML plugin

You need to install a recent version of WPML, including the String Translation, Translation Management and CMS Navigation modules. After installing these plugins, you set up Languages from WPML > Languages and translate your content.

Showing language switcher dropdown style on header

You go to WPML > Languages. You enable the Custom language switchers option. Then, you click the Customize button. A popup will appear. You change the Language switcher style option to Dropdown or Dropdown click.

Translating Pages and Posts

Go to Pages and pick a page for translation. Click on the plus icon. If the page is already translated, the plus icon will be replaced by the pen icon.

WPML actually creates a new WordPress page, linked to the original one. In this new page, you can add new content as you normally do. You can also keep the original content, just translate into the new language.

Translating Categories

To translate a category, click on the language which you want to translate it and then add a new category. Make sure the new category is linked to an original category.

Translating Menus

You go to Appearance > Menus. Just add a new menu. You select the language and the original menu which links to the new menu.

WPML can synchronize menus for you. This means that WPML can generate and keep in sync menus for other languages pointing to the translated versions of the pages, posts or categories.

Translating the theme and other texts

You go to WPML > String Translation. Find the text in the list and translate it. Please make sure you check the Translation is complete checkbox after translating.

Sometimes, some texts can not be found. You need to go to WPML > Theme and Plugins localization. You scan Strings in the themes. Then, you go back to the String Translation page and find those texts again.
