What the author says it does
Connect Polylang multilingual plugin with Elementor Page Builder: Translate your Elementor templates and show them in the correct language, native customizable Language Switcher Elementor widget, Visibility Conditions of widgets and Dynamic Tags by language and much more…
What the Plugin Does
📍 Template translation and show in the correct language
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
The opening of the plugin's own description. The full text, installation notes and changelog are on its WordPress.org page.
Questions the author answers
Recommended Workflow?
- Setup Polylang at first, add at least TWO languages, one of them make your default language (in Polylang)
- 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 🙂
- After that setup an Elementor Theme Builder template – assign it to your Polylang default language, apply conditions in Elementor
Where is the Elementor Widget to be found?
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! 😉
Where is the plugin’s settings page?
This plugin has NO settings page, as it does not need one. All it does works just under the hood. Activate the plugin. Done.
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.
Is Polylang Pro required?
Polylang Pro is not required.
All features of “Connect Polylang for Elementor” work with both, Polylang and Polylang Pro.
Are custom flags supported?
In general, custom flags are supported in the Polylang Switcher Elementor widget and in the Dynamic Tag (Current Language Flag).
However, the default flags in Polylang are sized 16px wide and 11px high, this automatically applies to custom flags – as it is fully handled internally by Polylang.
Latest changelog entry
- Tweaks: Enhanced editor language switcher control
- Tweaks: Remove load_plugin_textdomain
- Compatibility: Tested with Elementor 3.34.0
