I have tried my bilingual blog with different approaches, multisite with plugins, and single site with plugins. The best an also cost cost- effective solution ended up in two separate WordPress blogs with a unique domain for each language. This plug-in helps to link the articles with an available translation.
Unfortunately, no Gutenberg Themes like twenty-twentytree or twenty-twenty four are supported.
 ### [Good But Cryptic](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-cryptic/) [Pat K](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blackcapdesign/) Gwynngala 3, 2016 I have been searching for a simple and supported method for switching between a 2-language version of the same site; 2 WordPress installations, 2 databases and NO multisite. I’m giving this 4 stars because it works and does exactly what I need. The ONLY reason I’m NOT giving it 5 stars is because it’s cryptic as hell. I realize the plugin developer has freely donated his time to create and share the plugin. Yay. Thanks! If the developer really wants it to be accessible and user-friendly, I suggest doing one or more of the following (bearing in mind that many people using the plugin are not professional coders): – Provide up to date written documentation, including examples of how the plugin can be used in a theme. – Provide some screenshots of how to properly configure the plugin settings. – Provide some FAQs reflecting some of the common questions being asked in the support forum. – Provide a basic bilingual demo. If you’re like me and you only need basic switching between 2 sites, pop this into the header.php file on each site: … despite what it says in the “instructions”. Thus endeth my rant.
