    Default Need help with showing multiple languages

    Hey guys,

    I have translated a website homepage into several languages and would like to show the language flags in the site header/menu/or somewhere prominent that would lead to corresponding language page when clicked on.

    I don't need the entire site translators, just a Wordpress widget that allows me to add the country flags and link them to corresponding pages, that is input the url of the translated homepage (i.e. websitename.com/de, websitename.com/fr, websitename.com/sv and so on).

    Thanks!

    Thanks! No SEO benefit needed, just want to make it easier for the visitors to see there are other languages offered.

    I have already translated the pages manually and published them on the site. Tried using WPML, but not sure how to set this up. Will do some more reading.

    If you can't get WPML installed, you could try using the Polylang plugin or check this website where you find and explanation and list of plugins:

    I would suggest Polylang for Wordpress. It's easy, functional and good for SEO.
