You write posts, pages and create categories and post tags as usual, and then define the language for each of them. The translation of a post, whether it is in the default language or not, is optional. * You can use as many languages as you want. RTL language scripts are supported. WordPress languages packs are automatically downloaded and updated. * You can translate posts, pages, media, categories, post tags, menus, widgets... * Custom post types, custom taxonomies, sticky posts and post formats, RSS feeds and all default WordPress widgets are supported. * The language is either set by the content or by the language code in url, or you can use one different subdomain or domain per language * Categories, post tags as well as some other metas are automatically copied when adding a new post or page translation * A customizable language switcher is provided as a widget or in the nav menu * The admin interface is of course multilingual too and each user can set the WordPress admin language in its profile > The author does not provide support on the wordpress.org forum. Support and extra features are available to [Polylang Pro](https://polylang.pro) users. If you wish to migrate from WPML, you can use the plugin [WPML to Polylang](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpml-to-polylang/) If you wish to use a professional or automatic translation service, you can install [Lingotek Translation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/lingotek-translation/), as an addon of Polylang. Lingotek offers a complete translation management system which provides services such as translation memory or semi-automated translation processes (e.g. machine translation > human translation > legal review). = Credits = Thanks a lot to all translators who [help translating Polylang](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/polylang).
