Here are the key benefits of translating your site:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Most of the internet\u2019s users are non-English speakers. By translating your site, you make your content accessible to a broader audience, helping you tap into new markets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A multilingual site allows you to rank in search engines for multiple languages, driving organic traffic and improving visibility in different regions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customers are more likely to trust and purchase from a site in their native language. It shows that you care about their experience and are invested in serving their needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A localized experience reduces friction in the buying process, leading to higher conversion rates. When customers feel comfortable navigating your site, they\u2019re more likely to complete purchases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Many small to medium-sized businesses don\u2019t invest in multilingual websites. Translating your site can set you apart from competitors and position your brand as global and customer-focused.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"translate-your-site-in-3-easy-steps-with-wpml-and-blocksy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 Simple Steps to Translate Your Blocksy Site Using WPML<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you already know, Blocksy makes it easy to build a fast and beautiful site without any coding skills. And because it\u2019s multilingual-ready, you can translate that site in as few as three steps with WPML!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1861\" height=\"1209\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12414\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-install-wpml\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install WPML and Its Components<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WPML comes with a lightweight Installer plugin. After you activate it, go to WPML \u2192 Activate &amp; Update to register WPML and install the components you need. For most sites, that is the WPML core plugin and String Translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re running an ecommerce site, WPML also includes WPML Multilingual &amp; Multicurrency for WooCommerce, which allows you to translate products, product attributes, variations, and more, plus set up multiple currencies. It comes with the Multilingual CMS and Multilingual Agency plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1703\" height=\"1253\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12413\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"2-set-up-wpml\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Translating Your Website<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WPML includes a user-friendly Translations Dashboard (WPML \u2192 Translations) for choosing which content to translate on your website. You can select just a few pages, such as your home and services pages, or turn on Translate Everything Automatically to translate your whole site in the background. Before anything is translated, WPML shows the word count and the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1305\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-1024x522.png 1024w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-2048x1044.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once selected, you can choose how to translate your content. WPML offers 4 options:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Translate automatically with AI<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manually by yourself<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With your team of translators<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With translation services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, AI translation is the most accurate and affordable method. WPML translates with <a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/documentation\/automatic-translation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PTC<\/a>, its own AI translation engine, and with PTC each page is billed once per language, so later edits are free until the page grows. DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft are also available as legacy engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1655\" height=\"1263\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12410\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once WPML finishes translating your content, translations will appear on your website when switching languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1860\" height=\"1204\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12411\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"3-review-your-translations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Review and Perfect Your Translations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While PTC\u2019s translations are highly accurate, WPML lets you review them and make changes using the Advanced Translation Editor. When you set up automatic translation, you choose whether translations are published right away or wait for your review. WPML also learns from the edits you make and offers to apply the same fixes to future translations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1701\" height=\"1255\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/image4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12412\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start a review, simply go to <strong>WPML <\/strong>\u2192 <strong>Translations <\/strong>and click <strong>Review Translations<\/strong>. Any changes you make will immediately take effect on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"reliable-compatibility-with-wpml-and-blocksy\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocksy and WPML: A Seamless Integration for Multilingual Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, Blocksy and WPML are committed to ongoing compatibility with each other.
