Translating SiteOrigin Pages with WPML
Translating pages built using SiteOrigin page builder is similar to translating the pages you build using the Gutenberg editor.
Translate Everything Automatically mode translates all your site content automatically, including pages built with SiteOrigin.
If you are not using Translate Everything Automatically mode, the easiest way to translate your content is to go to WPML → Translations. Select content and send for translation automatically, or choose a professional translation service and local translators.
To translate the pages yourself, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the page editing screen.
- In the Language box, you can go directly to WPML’s Translations page or switch to the second tab to open WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor.
- Click the plus icon beside the language you want. WPML sends the page to automatic translation and opens it in the Advanced Translation Editor.
- Review the translation to make sure it reads well. When you are happy with it, click Save and Complete to publish it.
