Getting started with VEFtranslate
Five steps to make your site multilingual.
Install and activate the plugin
Like any WordPress plugin.
Add a language
Open VEFtranslate in the admin menu, then “Overview”. The language your site is written in today is the source language.
Click “Copy the whole site”
Every page, post, category and menu is duplicated. New copies are drafts.
Write the texts
Open a translation from the “Content” screen and write its texts in your usual editor. Publish it, then build the menus in “Menus”.
Add the language switcher
A block, an Elementor widget, a menu entry or a floating button (in “Settings”).
