    Hello! In my .php pages have a lot of texts ,what I want to translate, but I dont know how. Im using a polylang ,but that shows only widget titles and
    etc.

    For example ,I have
    <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts »'); ?>

    And I want to translate, Newer Posts in other language, but how I can do that?

    Thanks

    EDIT: I find this

    <?php
   wpml_e__if_language( 'text', 'lv' );
   wpml_e__if_language( 'text', 'en' );
?>

    but this code ,doesn’t help for that code what is above in my post

    You would need to upload the relevant translation file for your theme. What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

    So why not change <?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts »'); ?> to <?php previous_posts_link('Your translated string here »'); ?>?

    There’s no way that you can add anything to the theme to display two languages simultaneously.

    esmi, I dont want to display two languages simultaneously 😀
    I want to in one language shows one text ,in other language other text ,like translating. For example

    lv -> Text1
en -> Text2

    And how will you determine which language any given visitor needs?

    So how will people indicate that they need another language? And is all of this text for one specific page?

    Multilingual WordPress sites usually rely upon a plugin. Perhaps you need to ask the developer of the multilingual plugin that you are using this question?
