 * hi, so I’ve been stuck with this problem for a long time now, maybe any of you
   guys can help me:
 * I’m making a website with wordpress for real estate, I already have the same 
   one ([http://www.alanyapropertyfinder.com](http://www.alanyapropertyfinder.com))
 * This website works with a nice theme that I want to use for my new website, the
   problem is that I want it in multiple languages, the theme has a language.php
   file that contains:
    <?php ///header.php/// define(‘WELCOME_TEXT’,__(‘Welcome’));
   define(‘HOME_TEXT’,__(‘Home’)); define(‘SIGN_IN_TEXT’,__(‘Sign In’));
 * So I think the most easy way to do it is just make a index page with language
   selection and that selection goes to my website with for example the theme in
   dutch or the theme in English …
 * What I don’t know is how to make such a index page and how to make wordpress 
   choose the selected theme, I could really use some help with this !
 * Thanx !

   most of the times) and wpml which is not free.

 * Yes but then the translations are not accurate, which is really not professional
   in my eyes …

 * Yes but that translation is not accurate, for example property is translated 
   in dutch to Eigenschappen ( like in attributes ) but it needs to be Vastgoed (
   as in Real estate property) … tried loads of plugins, they all have bad translations…
 * and own translation doesn’t translate the theme itself ( all the standard text
   like bathroooms: and bedrooms:, thats what i need, (to translate the theme, which
   i can do in the theme language file, but my visitors need to be able to select
   the different THEME TRANSLATIONS)

 * tried qtranslate, also bad translations, just visit my website as mentioned above
   and see for yourself, my theme has a language file, that contains all the words
   that are used in the !! THEME !!
 * //search.php//
    define(‘SEARCH_PROPERTY_TITLE’,__(‘Zoek Vastgoed’)); define(‘
   SEARCH_PROPERTY_FOR_TEXT’,__(‘Vastgoed te’)); define(‘SEARCH_ALL_TEXT’,__(‘Alle’));
   define(‘SEARCH_BUY_TEXT’,__(‘Koop’)); define(‘SEARCH_RENT_TEXT’,__(‘Huur’)); 
   define(‘SEARCH_LOCATION_TEXT’,__(‘Locatie’)); define(‘SEARCH_ALL_LOCATION_TEXT’,
   __(‘Alle Locaties’)); define(‘SEARCH_AREA_TEXT’,__(‘m2’)); define(‘SEARCH_ALL_AREA_TEXT’,
   __(‘Alle m2’)); define(‘SEARCH_PRICE_RANGE_TEXT’,__(‘Prijsklasse’)); define(‘
   SELECT_ALL_PRICE_TEXT’,__(‘Alle prijsklassen’)); define(‘SEARCH_KEYWORD_TEXT’,
   __(‘Zoekterm’)); define(‘SEARCH_BEDROOMS_TEXT’,__(‘Slaapkamers’));
 * Like this, and i need users to be able to select the language they want and wordpress
   to use the theme in that language !!!!!!!!!
 * **Translating the posts and pages and menu’s is possible with the plugin, no 
   trouble with that**, but not for example the **search tool** and this:
 * **Home Information**
    **Price:** €240000 **Address:** Obakoy **Type:** Sale **
   City:** Alanya **Bedrooms:** 4 **State:** Antalya **Bathrooms:** 2 **Country:**
   Turkey **Area:** 256 Sq.m. **Zip Code:** 07400 **Property Description**
 * These are not included in the posts, they are part of the theme (Home information,
   price, address, type, city, bedrooms, bathrooms, contry, area, etc.) These texts
   are pre-defined by my theme and if i translate with a plugin it is not accurate…
 * as I told you before …

 * I’ll make it easier, forget the language, I need people to be able to select 
   different THEMES on my website in the form of a dropdown or flags for example
   to vieuw my website in their selected theme ( Themes that are the same but in
   a different language)

 * mmm ok maybe you can create a
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network](http://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network)
 * this works with one database and different folder so you can have
 * example.com
    example.com/fr
 * and install the theme twice. You may have to change the name of the theme, i 
   am not sure.
 * Another method is to create sub domains or sub dirs and install two times WP .
