 * We had someone make a site for us, so although I’m very familiar with the layout
   of WordPress under the hood, I don’t actually know what I’m doing.
 * We currently have a one page site. The creator made all the txt on the site a“
   post.” We now want a second page, exact duplicate, but in a different language
   for which we have a translator.
 * My question is, how do I make this exact duplicate so that I can just change 
   the text? I tried a second “post” but that just ads a second post to the main
   page. In essence, how do I make one post go to one page, while a second post 
   land on another page?

 * What you could do is copy the text from the first post into a page and call it
   home or whatever you want– This is the title of your page.
 * Next go to Settings > Reading
    Make your new page the home page by selecting 
   a static page as the home page.
 * Now you should have a home page that is a post. If that works, delete the post.
 * Then you can make your new page in the new language and it should appear in the
   navigation as a new tab.
