 * Hi,
    I want to create multilingual site with Zerif Lite. However, I will not 
   need to translate every page in my main language to other languages. I have searched
   around and noted that for my demand, a sub-folder creation will be suitable rather
   than using a plugin. However I dont know exactly how to do this with Zerif Lite.
   Could you please help to give me some guidance?
 * Thanks in advance and all the best!

 * Hi,
    After trying I decided to use Polylang as an alternative. The thing is: 
   I can add translations for most sections in apperance/menu or apperance/widget;
   but when it comes to following items I just can’t find any place to add translation
   to: – site tittle and tagline – general options – big tittle section – ribbon
   section – subtitles in all sections, even the sections that I can add translation
   e.g. Our focus, Our team.
 * Anyone who have experience with this Polylang please help!
 * Thanks in advance,
    Trinh

 * Hi,
 * First, you can’t translate Site Title & Tagline.
 * This theme is translate-ready, yet it doesn’t have a POT file.
 * You’d have to create a POT file first if you want to use Polylang to translate

 * Sorry to interrupt post but I have been trying to post new topic re multi lingual
   site and cannot find how to. I have been searching for info for days and it looks
   like I have two options: Polylang or WPML plug in for WordPress.
    I am redesigning
   a small charity website(I am a volunteer not a techy) Do I have to go for a pay
   for template to download these plugins or will they work on a free template? 
   Also are any templates already Polylang enabled? I like a challenge but trying
   to get answers seems impossible! Thanks

 * Hello [@colinanddawn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/colinanddawn/),
 * Maybe my answer comes too late, but you can download Zerif Lite and it’s free,
   just like Polylang or WPML.
 * Best regards,
    Alexandra
