Setting Up Your Bilingual Blog
To create a bilingual blog, start by installing WordPress and activating the Astra theme. Next, install Polylang to manage your languages.
Configuring Polylang
Add Georgian as the default language and English as an additional language. Configure the settings to allow posts in either language or both.
Creating Menus
Go to Appearance > Menus to create separate primary menus for Georgian and English. Ensure they are easy to edit and linked correctly.
Setting Up Categories
Create categories in both languages and link them for a cohesive structure. This helps in organizing your content effectively.
Installing SEO Plugins
Choose between Yoast SEO or Rank Math to optimize your blog for search engines. Configure the necessary fields for both languages.
Final Touches
Ensure your blog is mobile responsive and fast loading. Test the language switcher and menus to confirm everything works smoothly.
