Polylang translation

[Antoine]

Hello Armin,

I'm in the process of translating my graphic designer website www.antoinelaurent.fr into English using the Polylang extension. It works well but you have to duplicate all the pages manually.

I'd like to do the same thing for my artist site "www.selah.fr" but it's going to make my site a lot heavier. Is there a simpler, automatic way of translating into English, please? Also, does the Polylang extension work well with Laytheme's e-shop module?

Thanks for your help.
All the best.

sure just use qtrnanslate-xt!

Also, does the Polylang extension work well with Laytheme's e-shop module?

i think so, im not a 100% sure but i think so

Thanks for the feedback, Armin !
I have installed the qTranslate-XT extension on my artist site (www.selah.fr) to try and do automatic translation.
The problem is that the pages no longer display correctly.
I followed the correct protocol as explained in the link you gave me.
(I also made a backup of my site with BackupforWP before installing qTranslate-XT).

Thanks for your help.
All the best.

you need to use https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt from that page

lay theme works with qtranslate-xt

your screenshot doesn't show much, it says gutenberg themes dont work with qtranslate-xt. lay theme is not a gutenberg theme

make sure to follow the tutorial

and i need more info,
the website displays: https://selah.fr/informations/

The problem is that the pages no longer display correctly.

its not enough information

Hi Armin, thanks a lot for your message!
Yes I used https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt but I encountered a problem during the installation and I had to restore my website with a backup from the OVH server after that. Finally I changed strategy and I translate the site with Polylang, it's longer but easier for me.

Thanks for your encouragement, I really like using Laytheme and I try to improve the site every time I use it! I'm hosted by OVH yes, I export my photoshop images in 50% quality and I've installed on wordpress the Converter for Media extension and WP Fastest Cache. It's the best solution I've found so far to keep the site running smoothly.
