Multilingual front page?

    Hello
    I am in the process of creating my first website using wordpress and the Isis theme:

    http://www.traductorfinanciero.es

    It needs to be in 3 languages so I have created the menu and various pages (“services”, “fees”, “contact”, etc) in 3 languages with no problems using the polyling plugin. However, the front page which uses the theme template, and which i edit under “Appearance –> Theme Options” only appears in 1 language and I cannot find a way to have it in multiple languages. I have read that I can CHANGE the language of the theme by using a different .po file etc, but I don’t want to change it, I want to have 3 front pages using this theme simultaneously in different languages, just like the rest of my pages. How can this be done?

    – I gather I could perform a whole reinstallation of another versión of wordpress and the site but this seems like duplication of work. Can it be done another way without multiple installations?
    – For example, can I somehow create a static page to use as my front home page, copying the code of the theme (work blocks, clients, etc), and then create translated versions of this static page without modifying the code? Is this the best way? If so, which peices of code should I copy?
    – Are there any easier options?

    I have spent all day trying to work this out. Thank you in advance!

    …or perhaps there is a way to add a custom string translation on Polylang, in order to not only make translations of the “Site title” and “tag line” but also of the various ítems that make up the Isis theme front page, such as block names and content, client names and content, etc. Is this an option and if so what would be the code to put into Polylang? I found a similar solution for another theme:

    I have decided to buy WMPL plugin in the end, it appears it will be easier to work with this one rather tan Polylang, although it still does not detect the theme options content I add in the translation strings. Where can I find this content in the files of the theme?
