Create Multilingual Slides With the WPML Plugin

This tutorial will guide you in translating slides into multiple languages for a multi-lingual website.

Why Do You Need the WPML Plugin for Translation?

The WordPress Multilingual plugin, a.k.a WPML, is the most popular WordPress plugin to translate a website and [definition_tip term= “slider”]slider[/definition_tip] into more than one language. Without the WPML plugin, you can only create each [definition_tip term= “slide”]slide[/definition_tip] in a single language in the Slider Revolution. You can duplicate and translate a slide, although the [definition_tip term= “module”]module[/definition_tip] will show both slides to all website visitors.

However, combining the WPML plugin with the Slider Revolution plugin allows you to make each slide in multiple languages. The module will show only a single copy of each slide with the translation that the visitor selects.

We have integrated the WPML plugin options into the Slider Revolution plugin to provide the best of both plugins to create multilingual slides.

Both plugins, the WPML and the Slider Revolution plugin, are fully compatible.

Let’s learn to set up the WPML plugin.

Before configuring a slide’s translation, we must activate the WPML plugin’s integrated settings from the Slider Revolution plugin.
