• Once installed, click "Activate."
Step 2: Configure Basic Settings
• After activation, go to the WPML menu on your dashboard.
• Follow the setup wizard to configure the basic settings for your multilingual website. This
includes choosing your site's default language and selecting additional languages.
Step 3: Translate Pages and Posts
• Edit an existing page or post, or create a new one.
• In the post/page editor, you'll see a new section for translations.
• Click on the "+" button to add a translation for each language.
• Translate the content manually or use WPML's translation services.
Step 4: Translate Media Files
• If your content includes images or other media, ensure these files are translated or replaced with
language-specific versions.
• You can upload translated media files directly or link to external translations.
Step 5: Translate Menus and Widgets

targeting.

or All in One SEO Pack.
