I have created a main header menu in english and a secondary menu with the language selection options as a top menu. The idea is to switch languages from the top menu and arrive at different home pages in the relevant languages.
It seems that this is not possible. I have created and tested it with 3 different menus in 3 different languages but I do not have the option to switch between them. Once a menu for the header slot is chosen it stays forever there in one language.
The question is, am I doing something wrong? It seems very limiting not to be able to have menus in different languages for each separate homepage.
Hello yiorgos,
Unfortunately the theme has no option for that. You have to use a plugin for that. Maybe something like https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/. We have not tested these plugins and cannot say for sure which one works with our theme or not. Try them out and see how it goes.
Thank you.
Is the WPML plugin supported?
In the advertising page of the Newspaper theme it is implied that multi-language translations are possible and that was the reason I purchased the theme.
Unfortunately this not true. The theme’s Blocks and Menus cannot be translated through the “Theme Panel”.
Hello,
Multi language translations are possible with our theme. You can translate your website to the language you prefer (http://screencast.com/t/mbczfRZ0), but switching the site between languages actively is a whole different matter.
You can use a plugin for this option but we have not tested translation plugins with our theme so we cannot say for sure if it will work 100% or not. Some of our users use the plugin you suggested, other use https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/
You can try out a couple of free plugins and see how they work.
Thank you.
