Three methods to realize WordPress website foreground English background Chinese

When doing an English website, the system language of WordPress background will be set to English, but many people are not accustomed to the English interface or English is not good enough, so it is awkward to use it. If you can achieve the website foreground English, the background English will be good. Three methods of Weieis note sharing WordPress website foreground English background Chinese 。

Of course, the WordPress foreground and background can be any two different languages built into WordPress.

A friend has always asked Mr. Wei: How can a foreign trade website achieve that the front desk is in English (convenient for foreign customers to visit) and the back desk is in Chinese (convenient for my own use)? Here is how Lao Wei shared it.

1. WordPress built-in functions

Starting from WordPress 4.7, it has the functions of front English and back Chinese.

Navigate to the WordPress background, set, and select English as the site language.

Go to Users>All Users, find the administrator account on the right, and click Edit, as shown in the following figure.

Change the default language in the language to simplified Chinese.

At this time, the person who logs in to the administrator account will see that the front desk of the website is in Chinese and the back desk is in Chinese. If there are more than one administrator, just do the same.

2. Google Browser Online Translation

Go to WordPress background>Settings>Site language and select English.

At this time, the backstage also became English.

Old Wei's method was to use Google Browser Online Translation Function, can realize the background culture.

This method of operation is very simple. The disadvantage is that the translation between Chinese and English is inevitably not smooth. For example, Google Chrome translates cloudflare into "cloud flare", which literally means right, but it seems awkward.

3. Simple Admin Language Change Installation Enable

The Simple Admin Language Change plug-in can enable the website foreground to display English and the dashboard background to display Chinese.

Simple Admin Language Change is a WordPress language plug-in, which can be used to display English in the foreground and Chinese in the background. It is a very convenient plug-in for domestic webmasters who are foreign trade websites, cross-border e-commerce websites and English websites.

In WordPress background>Plug in>Install Plug in, search Simple Admin Language Change， Install and enable.

The setting method of Simple Admin Language Change is exactly the same as that of the first WordPress.

The only advantage of opening the plug-in is that the real-time switch function between Chinese and English will be displayed in the upper right corner of the background. Click it to switch the background language immediately.

4. Summary

The three ways to implement WordPress website foreground English and background Chinese are very convenient.

• If you have no special requirements, use the first method.
• If you want to be able to switch between Chinese and English in the background at any time when building a website, so that you can view and use it easily, install this plug-in, and then uninstall it after the website is completed or you are familiar with the whole background.
• As for the second method, it is Mr. Wei's personal habit, which is not as fast as the plug-in switching at any time. However, many plug-ins do not have Chinese language packages by default, so the translation function of Google Browser is still very useful.
