Language button placement?

[Oscar]

Hi, So, I downloaded Loco translation plugin and I am ready to translate my page...but where to put language switch buttons and how? Any tips & tricks? I reckon that this would be a good spot for language switch, but how can I add it there? http://i63.tinypic.com/2m648ys.png

Loco translate is used for single language translation. For multi language translate you can use WPML plugin. To buy wpml plugin click here. Also follow this tip : https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/wplms-with-wpml-multilingual-plugin/

Ok, thanks, so I have to buy WPML plugin. Fine. After I have installed it and translated my page into multiple languages, how do I put language switch in the page as seen in the screenshot? http://i63.tinypic.com/2m648ys.png

In order to set button in header as shown in your screenshot you can also use Gtranslate plugin. Refer : https://wordpress.org/plugins/gtranslate/

Ok, but its a lot more expensive than WPML plugin. Is there no other way how to get a language switch widget?

[Oscar]

Also, can you make language to switch automatically based on the users location with WMPL?

1 You can follow this tip to change the position of language switcher button using wpml plugin. Refer : https://wpml.org/forums/topic/change-language-switcher-button-position/ 2 To switch automatically based on user location please check this ticket : https://wpml.org/forums/topic/geolocation-2/

Ok, thanks. One more question:

1. I installed WPLM plugin

2. Now watching this tutorial:

https://wplms.io/support/knowledge-base/wplms-with-wpml-multilingual-plugin/ But it skips the most important part ...  how to get language appear in CMS as in this screenshot? Video doesn't show it, but it's essential to translate pages...

[Oscar]

Language in CMS magically appears at 1:33 if you watch the video..

@oscar For that, please follow this Documentation of WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/  

[Oscar]

Sorry, Diana, it doesn't help me much. Also, I would imagine that "premium support" which was advertised when I bought WPLMS meant that I will get answers to concrete questions not the same tutorial links over and over again (which, btw, doesn't answer to my problem). One could say that WPML is a complatley different plugin, but its your (WPLMS) tutorial video I am talking about, after all.. and you advertise integration between WPML and WPMLS.

@Oscar, Okay, Please share your admin credentials in a private reply here with site URL. I will check the settings and share the screenshots of your site, to add the button. That will be easy for you
