Daniel’s answer was very similar, but applied to plugins rather than themes. For that reason I’ll explain how I specifically did it for themes for anyone else who comes across this problem. Create a folder in the root of your theme called “languages” Go to https://wpcentral.io/internationalization/, search for your language and copy the “WordPress Locale” … Read more
I use on the root site a small theme for redirect to the languages. A very small theme for locate the language of the users and redirect to the blog of this language. <?php // Browsersprache ermitteln function lang_get_from_browser($allowed_languages, $default_language, $lang_variable = NULL, $strict_mode = TRUE) { // $_SERVER[‘HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE’] verwenden, wenn keine Sprachvariable mitgegeben wurde … Read more
As you said per page/post basis, this would work for each post add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘add_link_in_head’); function add_link_in_head() { global $post; if(!empty($post)) { $alternate = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘alternate’, true); $hreflang = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘hreflang’, true); if(!empty($alternate) && !empty($hreflang)) { ?> <link rel=”alternate” href=”https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/110260/<?php echo $alternate; ?>” hreflang=”<?php echo $hreflang; ?>” /> <?php } } } If there is no … Read more

It wasn’t simple given that I am not an expert with wordpress nor with php but WordPress documentation is great so here is the solution: // Set the post language when loading up the page based on the store meta function ppl_set_post_language() { … Read more
_e() will translate the text passed as a argument to the language your site is currently set up to use (if the translation exists). Anyway, don’t do that. Use it for text visible on the website, not for IDs/classes etc. To create context based css rules, simply add the WPML language ID as a body … Read more
I think that having two separate posts for the easy/adept versions is going to be hard to manage consistently, especially if you end up with alot of content.
