Create translations for your Elementor templates especially for header, footer or archive templates with Elementor Pro Theme Builder (affiliated link).

  • Automatically selects the correct translation for „Template Widget“.
  • Automatically selects the correct translation for [elementor-template id="1234"] shortcodes.
  • Allow Elementor Kit translation for different settings for each language.

🔄 Language Switcher

A native Elementor Widget to easily build a nice and fully customizable language switcher:

  • Show or hide flags, language name, language code.
  • Vertical list, Horizontal list or styled dropdown.
  • SVG scalable flags.

👁️ Language Visibility Conditions

Allow to show or hide every widget, section or column by language.

🏷️ Language Dynamic Tags

Use language dynamic tags (on Elementor Pro) that you can set with an specific language or the „current“ one. Available tags are:

  • Language Code tag type text
  • Language Name tag type text
  • Language Url tag type url
  • Language Flag tag type image

✏️ Elementor Editor integration

Now you can view the language of the current template and change to its translations or create them from the Elementor editor.

🔍 Elementor Finder integration

From Elementor Finder you can access to Polylang settings pages and go the site in the selected language.

🔨 Plugins integration fixes and tweaks

  • Automatically generate display conditions on new template translation.
  • Automatically generate Elementor CSS styles on create new template translation.
  • Fix home url to the current language on site-url Dynamic Tag and Search Form widget.
  • Add language url trailing slash.
  • Hide language on wp-admin for global widgets.

How to use

You can manage translated templates in two ways:

  • (recommended) create linked translations for a template and only set display conditions on the default language.
  • create separated translations for a template with their own display conditions.

See an example:

Site languages:
 - EN (main)
 - ES
 - IT

- Option 1 (linked translations only main language has display conditions):
╔═ Archive Template A (EN) -> condition category is "Red (EN)"
╠═ Archive Template A (ES) -> none (in front checks if category is ES translation of "Red (EN)")
╚═ Archive Template A (IT) -> none (in front checks if category is IT translation of "Red (EN)")

- Option 2 (not linked translations, all languages has display conditions):
══ Archive Template B (EN) -> condition category is "Red (EN)"
══ Archive Template B (ES) -> condition category is "Rojo (ES)"
══ Archive Template B (IT) -> condition category is "Rosso (IT)"

Minimale Systemanforderungen

  • WordPress Version 4.7 oder höher

  • Recommended: Elementor Pro (affiliate link) which is needed for Theme Building possibilities (header, footer, 404, archive templates, etc.) and Dynamic Tags.

Installation

  1. Installiere mit dem WordPress-eigenen Plugin-Installer (über Plugins > Installieren – Suche nach polylang connect for elementor), oder extrahiere die ZIP-Datei und lege den Inhalt im Verzeichnis wp-content/plugins/ deiner WordPress-Installation ab.
  2. Aktiviere das Plugin über den Menüpunkt ‚Plugins‘ in WordPress.

FAQ

Recommended Workflow?

  1. Setup Polylang at first, add at least TWO languages, one of them make your default language (in Polylang)
  2. Add content to your default Polylang language – if Polylang asks you to apply existing content to it, you should most likely click „ok“ and proceed – it works really fine 🙂
  3. After that setup an Elementor Theme Builder template – asign it to your Polylang default language, apply conditions in Elementor
  4. Next, setup a translation template for the template of 3.) — asign your second Polylang language, DO NOT apply conditions in Elementor

Wo ist das Elementor-Widget zu finden?

It’s in the widget category „General Elements“ with the name „Language switcher“. Plus, if Elementor Pro is active and you’re editing a template, the widget additionally appears in the „Site“ widget category.

Always via search: When searching for widgets type „polylang“ or „languages“ and it will show up immediately! 😉

Wo ist die Einstellungsseite des Plugins?

Dieses Plugin hat KEINE Einstellungsseite, da es keine benötigt. Alles, was es tut, funktioniert direkt unter der Haube. Aktiviere das Plugin. Erledigt.

Is Elementor Pro required?

Technically, Elementor Pro is not required but highly recommended.

Elementor Pro (affiliate link) is required for these features of the plugin:

  • Translate Elementor Theme Builder Templates (header, footer, 404, page, archives).
  • Translate Elementor Popups.
  • Dynamic Tags, additionally added by the plugin.

For the other features of the plugin the free version of Elementor is sufficient – so the native Elementor language switcher widget will work 😉

Is Polylang Pro required?

Polylang Pro is not required.

All features of „Connect Polylang for Elementor“ work with both, Polylang and Polylang Pro.

Werden benutzerdefinierte Flaggen unterstützt?

Im Allgemeinen werden eigene Flaggen im Polylang Switcher Elementor Widget und im Dynamic Tag (Aktuelle Sprache Flagge) unterstützt.
Die Standardflaggen in Polylang haben jedoch die Größe 16px breit und 11px hoch, dies gilt automatisch für benutzerdefinierte Flaggen – da sie vollständig intern von Polylang verarbeitet werden.

Um eine andere Größe für benutzerdefinierte Flaggen zu verwenden, versuchen wir, Wege zu finden, dies für Elementor in zukünftigen Versionen dieses Plugins zu implementieren.

Typografie und Großbuchstaben-Einstellungen?

Im Polylang Switcher Elementor Widget stehen Typografie-Einstellungen für die Menüpunkte des Switchers zur Verfügung. Diese Einstellungen sind natürlich CSS-basiert und werden „global“ auf die verschiedenen Zustände angewendet, für die sie gelten: normal, hover, aktiv (aktuelle Sprache). Die verfügbaren Umschalter für Großbuchstaben sind code-basiert und haben daher eine niedrigere Priorität – das heißt, das CSS übernimmt immer, falls gewünscht. Auf diese Weise bist du mit schnellen Einstellungen (Umschalter) am flexibelsten, hast aber bei Bedarf alle Styling-Optionen zur Hand.

Connect Polylang for Elementor is an excellent plugin that bridges the gap between multilingual content creation and seamless website design. It offers an intuitive way to integrate Polylang’s powerful translation capabilities directly into Elementor, making it easier to create visually stunning, multilingual websites without additional complications.

It’s especially helpful for platforms like FutureStarr.com, where artists and creators can showcase their work to a diverse audience. The combination of Polylang and Elementor ensures that your message resonates across languages while maintaining a professional design. Highly recommend this plugin for anyone looking to expand their digital reach!

I use JetEngine to create custom post types and taxonomies, and I use Polylang Pro for translation. I also use this plugin to connect with Elementor. The default language of my website is English (EN) and the second language is French (FR). However, when I click on category links (i.e., taxonomies), even though the link is in English, it redirects me to French. for example:/service-cats/test -> /fr/service-cats/test My settings in the language section under URL modifications include: The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks.Hide URL language information for the default language.Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks. These settings have caused SEO issues for my website.

Just when you starting thinking about how you are going to display variations for a language-sensitive task, this plugin always saves the day. From displaying link variations in nav menus, to alternative buttons and widgets. An essential addon for any Elementor-based multi-regional site.The setup is so easy to understand and work with, with everything set to work the ‚Elementor way‘.

Good afternoon, I wanted to ask, I have ElementorPro, do I need to install Polylang Connect for Elementor + Polylang or will only Polylang Connect for Elementor be enough?
