multilingual home page

I haven’t tested this myself with WPML, but the best option might be to disable the custom home page (Appearance > Home Page). Then to create a new standard page as the home page, and assign that to your front page in your reading settings (Settings > Reading).

Then, using WPML, you could create the multi lingual versions of this page.

The latest version of Page Builder (1.3.7), lets you clone the current custom home page, so this should help with the transition.

Thanks Greg. That sounds workable. ??

Hi Greg,
I started implementing your suggestion. Created a new page, cloned the Home page layout and added the Meta slider widget. However on this page the slider’s layout is different as there is a gap between the menu and the slider and it’s not wide like the custom home page.
Here’s a screenshot (it’s still just a draft page): https://awesomescreenshot.com/06f1sm8se4

I think I got it now.

Yeah, once you set the new home page, the Meta Slider will show up. For sub pages, you can also use the Meta Slider option to get a big slider that looks like the home page slider.

Hats off to you Greg! Excellent support! ??

Hi,
I have one more thing for the English home page. I created an English version of the slider, but when I choose that on the English homepage I get two sliders showing up: the Hungarian with the proper layout, identical to the Hungarian home page and the English one right under it, but not wide (kind of like in the screenshot above).
How could I make this work?
Thank you.

Hi Greg,
I updated the theme as well as Meta Slider and I still can’t get the English homepage to have the English slides only. If I change the slider to show the English slides on the English version of the Home Page, there are still two sliders showing up. The Hungarian on top and the English underneath. Like this: https://awesomescreenshot.com/07b1ukl7bc
How could I fix this?

Hi Doe3/Greg,

Not sure if it helps, but I made some changes to the latest version of Meta Slider for WPML. Previously, it only seemed to work in the default language, in other languages the slideshow would be blank.

Now, a Meta Slider slideshow will always look the same no matter which language you’re viewing the page in.

If you have 2 languages and you need a slideshow to display differently in each language, then you must create 2 separate slideshows (one for each language) and update the shortcode on your translated pages accordingly.

Not sure if that sheds any light on this..

Regards,
Tom

Thanks Tom.
The thing is that I’m using page builder and I have a separate home page for both languages where I can set each element separately.
The problem is that when I choose the English slide for the English home page, both the Hungarian and the English show up. ??

I could be wrong, but it looks like that top slider is the one that is set up in the theme settings (for the homepage slider) and the bottom one is the one from page builder.

In the theme settings for the homepage slider I would set it to ‘no slider’ (or whatever the option is), then just use page builder for each translated page to select the slider…. (I’m out of my depth here as I’m not 100% sure how page builder or vantage works – but it’s something to try until Greg replies :))

Regards,
Tom.

You’re probably right.
I still hope though that there is another solution as the homepage slider fits nicer with the theme, as you can see in the screen shot.
Thanks again. ??
