I would like to add a language selection in the Header. I duplicated my homepage and translated everything into another language (German) and now want to have the option for the user to switch between English and German in the header.

What is the easiest way to do that? And where shall I integrate it?

Thanks for helping!

Leon

That depends on the plugin you are using. If using WPML you can add a widget to the subheader for example… :)

thank you for the answer. I think WPML is a plug-in that automatically translates the content of my website. But I want to translate it myself. For this purpose I created a duplication of my Front Page and translated the text manually. Now I want to insert a selection of the language. Do I really need a plug-in for this?

Because it is quite an effort to always work on multiple versions for multiple languages…
