    Hi,
    I will soon have to build a new site in french + english. I’ve already used Enfold before, but this will be my first shot with WPML… I am trying to find the best documentation before starting the project. Is there any specific video tutorial about how to use WPML WITH Enfold ? If not and if you have a few interesting links to recommend me that would be great. I saw a few tutorials on youtube regarding WPML, but with very simple & basic themes… I’m just wondering if it will work as “easily” with the avia builder… ?
    Also, regarding customization, I’ve read a few threads here, and it seems WPMLand quick css are not always compatible. Am I right ? And in that case, is it better to avoid quick css and use a child theme at the very beginning instead ? Using a child theme would also be a first experience for me… Hope I’ll be able to manage !
    All quicks advices or helpful links would be VERY appreciated :)
    Thank you very much.

    Regards,
    Marie

    Hi marienoisette!

    1) Enfold does not come with “special” WPML options because they’re simply not necessary. As soon as WPML is activated Enfold will create a separate (independent) option set for each WPML language. You can i.e. choose a different logo, color scheme, homepage, blog page, etc. for each language. The option page will display the language shortcut next to the theme name (i.e. Enfold (EN), Enfold (FR), Enfold (DE)) and you can use the language switcher in the admin bar to switch between the language option sets. The Quick CSS field is fully compatible with WPML – the only disadvantage is that you need to switch to all languages to save the quick css changes. So if you want to use your styling for ALL languages it’s better to add the css code to the child theme style.css file. On the other hand the Quick CSS field enables you to use some style code with certain languages only.

    2) We have no documentation for WPML. There’s just one entry: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/translating-the-portfolio-slug-with-wpml/ regarding the portfolio slug setup. You can find the official WPML documentation here: http://wpml.org/documentation/

    3) The Avia Builder is fully compatible with WPML. I recommend to duplicate the layout you want to translate. I.e. if you want to duplicate the English page/post tick the “duplicate” checkbox and click the duplicate button: http://www.clipular.com/c/6119929287802880.png?k=loBt_iScpDt0C3ouj7fQWSBncOw . Afterwards go to the duplicated “translation” of the page and click the “Translate Independently” button: http://www.clipular.com/c/6352167833174016.png?k=UZaLhUaust52mHmU_TkKpZ8RQnY . Then translate the template like a standard page (click on the elements to edit them, etc.)

    Regards,
    Peter
