How do I add languages to WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:00 am

Adding languages to WordPress is a fairly simple process. First, you need to install the WordPress multilingual support plugin. Once you have done that, you will need to activate the plugin. Once activated, you will need to choose a language from the list. WordPress will then display the translation files for that language. You can then simply copy and paste the translation files into your WordPress installation.

PRO TIP: If you are not comfortable with code, we recommend that you seek help from a developer or ask for assistance in the WordPress Support Forums. Adding languages to WordPress can be done by adding new language files, but this will require some knowledge of code.

To finish the process, you will need to activate the translation plugin for the language you want to use. Once activated, you will need to enter the language code into the plugin’s settings. Finally, you will need to activate the translation in WordPress. Once activated, the translation will be available in your WordPress installation.
