What is the best multi-language plugin for WordPress?
WordPress does not have multi-language support itself, so you need to use a plugin to obtain multi-language functionality. Do not suggest the usage of different WordPress sites for obtaining the multi-language functionality because this would create more problems that solving.
Please answer only if you successfully implemented such solution and explain what current limitation it has. Also it would be a good idea to specify what other solutions you tested before choosing this one.
Things to consider:
- language URLs, like /en/… /fr/..
- being able to fallback to default language for untranslated pages
- browser language detection
I would like to recommend WPML, I use it on all of my bi/multi-lingual projects. It has great support and it makes WordPress truly multilingual, instead of only your content.
The latest addition is the media module, which takes care of the images you upload to Posts and Pages. No need anymore to upload them for each language separately, the plugin now recognises that there is an image attached to one language and will ask you to use that image too or not.
Any questions you have about it, you can let me know.
