    Hi, I would like to create and then publish the French version of the site (which is actually in English). I suppose that I first need to duplicate/copy the existing content and then replace the English text with the French one in the blocks. I would be grateful, if you could let me know how to duplicate/copy (as I am unable to do it) the existing pages and how to modify the home page so that the language options appear (French English) and can be used. Thanks in advance for your support and best.

    Hi there,

    There are three ways you can set up a multilingual site:

    One site, one post: Each Post or Page will contain the same content in both languages.

    One site, Two Posts: Two posts or pages with the same content in different languages. Sounds like you are more inclined to this one.

    You don’t need to duplicate the post/page as it will need to be re-written in the other language. Please see the link below on how to do this. However, instructions on how to duplicate a post/page can be found here: https://wordpress.com/support/copy-a-post-or-page/

    Two sites: A site for each language.

    For detailed instructions on how to translate a website, please follow this link:
