Creating multiple languages for a product

  • Do I have to create multiple duplicate products – one for each language?
    because every time I try to add a language to a product it creates a new product with a new ‘similar’ slug (for example: this-is-my-permalink and this-is-my-permalink-2)

    Although if you have 15 languages, surely 15 of every product on a 10,000 product website seems cRaZy?! – Is there a more convenient way?? Such as adding multiple languages to the same product, and being able to switch between the languages to change the content of each? This seems a far better option. Although I cannot seem to be able to achieve this.

    I managed to get 2 languages working on *1* singular product out of all my products.
    But every time I try adding a second language to my other products it creates a new product with a slightly different permalink.
    This is a terrible option as I would have to do multiple lots of advertising for the different permalink variations instead of being able to advertise one product permalink in many languages.

    Has anyone got any solutions for this??

    Many Thanks!

    Okay, I managed to find a simple solution to this for anyone who has run into the same problem.

    https://github.com/grappler/polylang-slug

    This mini plugin allows you to use the same Polylang slug. Just download, install, activate, and now when you create another language for your products you can change the permalink to the same as the original. +Rep to Ulrich Pogson
    (grappler) for creating this addition!

    @dayley Thanks! BTW As Polylang Pro has this feature too I am not continuing to develop the plugin anymore. If it works for you then that’s great! ??
