  I tried other website builder in building a website for a travel agency and accommodation. I faced a lot of problems in translating the website to Arabic language and another issue with the limited payment provider in which it gave me one option which is 2checkout that does not support my business model. Another issue i faced is the difference in translating dates between the English and Arabic versions of the website. Will using WordPress result in these same issues or you can guarantee i will not face the same issues ?

  Hi @saif7717, WordPress is open source and extendable. WordPress itself does not have a checkout or multi-language support built in, but there are many plugins that can help you do that.

  And, you can install plugins on a site hosted here if you use our Business plan:
  https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Or, you can host your own copy of the free software if you can manage your own maintenance and use community or hired support.

  As far as plugin recommendations go, I’d try asking in the forums for self-hosted WordPress installations, as those are generally more customized than the free sites on WordPress.com, which most of our community members use.
