We don't offer support for help with translation and multi-language features.
Reminder: our themes are for styling and not functionality. Translation and multi-language is a WordPress function and not something our theme has control over. For more information see: What is the role of my theme?
We haven't explicitly modified the core WordPress support for translations/language (WPML), and play nice with the parent theme (Genesis Translation) implementation. If you need support for either of these, we recommend contacting the plugin developers directly.
WPML
We recommend using the WordPress Multilingual Plugin for translating our themes, if you check out the WPML Getting Started Guide you'll see all of the documentation necessary to get that setup on your site.
If using WPML, you'll also want to add translation support to your search bars.
Genesis Translations
Another option is the Genesis Translations Plugin, though with this one there will still be a few elements that you'll need to translate manually in the theme files.
Check https://translate.studiopress.com to see which languages are currently supported and how far along the translations are.
Polylang
We haven't tested or seen any sites using Polylang plugin, and can't offer support for this. We recommend contacting the plugin developer directly.
Speed
See this article from WPRocket on the pagespeed impact of various translation options.
