Creating Multilingual Layouts with JupiterX and WPML

If you're building a multilingual website using JupiterX and the WPML plugin, it's essential to create separate templates for each language to ensure your website communicates effectively with diverse audiences. Here's a step-by-step guide to creating templates for different languages using JupiterX Layout Builder in conjunction with WPML:

Step 1: Create a New Template for Additional Languages

To create a new template for an additional language, follow these steps:

1. Go to the JupiterX Layout Builder.
2. Click on "Add New Template" to create a fresh template for your desired language.
3. Name your template descriptively to reflect the language (e.g., ‘Header French’).
4. Save and publish your new template.

Step 2: Link the New Template to the Main Language Template

After creating your new template:

1. Navigate to the Elementor Templates section by going to 'Elementor' > 'Templates'.
2. Find the tab for the type of template you created (e.g., 'Header').
3. Open the template for the new language using the Block Editor.
4. Scroll down to find the WPML settings in the editor.
5. Link this new template to the corresponding main language template.

Step 3: Set Up Conditions

To ensure that the layout conditions are applied correctly across languages:

• Conditions Must Be Set on the Main Language Template Only: All the visibility conditions should be set within the main language template. Avoid setting up separate conditions for each language.
• Link Secondary Language Taxonomy to the Primary Language: For conditions that involve taxonomy terms, ensure that the taxonomy in the secondary language is linked correctly to the primary language's taxonomy.

Step 4: Verify WPML Component Functionality

Before finalizing your multilingual templates:

• Keep WPML Components Updated: Make sure that all WPML basic components are not only active but also updated to the latest versions available.
• Compatibility Check: Regularly perform checks to ensure WPML's compatibility with JupiterX themes and Elementor to avoid any conflicts or issues.

By following these steps carefully, you can ensure that each language version of your website has its custom-tailored layout, providing a seamless experience for your international audience.

Remember, clear communication is key to reaching a global audience, and with JupiterX and WPML working in tandem, your website will be well-equipped to engage users in any language.
