Welcome to the demo installation of several multilingal solutions for WordPress.
WordPress is strangely still not multilingual in its core, and multilingal plugins are a must almost everywhere in the world.
As persons living in a country with 4 official languages, we know very well some of the plugins we are going to demonstrate here.
For the sake of the demo, the theme is kept as default, it was twenty-twentytwo at the time of install and has been changed to twenty-twentythree after the meetup, when WordPress 6.1 has been released. WordPress and the themes and plugins are always updated to their latest version.
The site runs on a server with php 8.1 at the time of writing in October 2022.
This site has originally been installed as a demo for the meetup on 20 October 2022 of the Lausanne WordPress group, but will continue to exist and demo will be added, versions will be upgraded etc.
The meetup was co-presented by myself (Patricia BT) demonstrating all the plugins listed here, and Florian from Alphosting, explaining the translation of strings in plugins and themes via .po and .mo files (POEdit, LocoTranslate, etc) and as a contributor to the WordPress community on the translate area of wordpress.org.
I would like to thank Thomas from Weglot for all the advance information and demo account at our disposal for this purpose.
