Do you want to make your website available in multiple languages? By default, WordPress does not come with features required to create a proper multilingual site. That’s why in this tutorial, we will show you how to create a multilingual WordPress site with the popular WPML plugin.
您想以多种语言提供您的网站吗？ 默认情况下，WordPress不具备创建适当的多语言站点所需的功能。 这就是为什么在本教程中，我们将向您展示如何使用流行的WPML插件创建多语言WordPress网站。
(Why Create a Multilingual WordPress Site Using WPML?)
You can use WordPress in any language that you want. It is super easy to create a website in any single language.
您可以使用所需的任何语言来使用WordPress 。 创建任何一种语言的网站都非常容易。
Most popular WordPress themes and plugins are also translation ready which makes it easy for anyone in the world to start a WordPress site in their language.
最受欢迎的WordPress主题和插件也已准备好翻译 ，这使世界上任何人都可以轻松地以其语言启动WordPress网站。
However, by default WordPress can support only one language at a time. What if you wanted to use multiple languages on a site to attact a much wider audience?
但是，默认情况下，WordPress一次只能支持一种语言。 如果您想在网站上使用多种语言来吸引更多的受众，该怎么办？
Governments, international businesses, and educational institutes often need to offer their website in multiple languages. While machine translations like Google Translate is an option, it’s often not acceptable for most professional organizations.
政府，国际企业和教育机构经常需要以多种语言提供其网站。 尽管可以选择Google翻译这样的机器翻译，但大多数专业组织通常不接受。
One way to offer multiple language options is to install WordPress in subdomains for each language. This is a lot of hassle, as you will have to manage updates, and backup all those installations.
提供多种语言选项的一种方法是将WordPress安装在每种语言的子域中。 这很麻烦，因为您将不得不管理更新并备份所有这些安装。
WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin) solves this problem by allowing your website to become multilingual. You can use the same WordPress installation to create content into many different languages.
WPML (WordPress多语言插件)通过允许您的网站变为多语言来解决此问题。 您可以使用相同的WordPress安装将内容创建为多种不同的语言。
It offers an easy to use interface for managing translations. It also adds language switching options for your users.
