# Connect Polylang For Elementor

Using the **Connect Polylang for Elementor** plugin, you can easily translate Elementor templates and add a language switcher to your multilingual website.

## Why Connect Polylang for Elementor Plugin?

Polylang is a multilingual plugin that helps you translate **standard WordPress content**. This approach works well with the WordPress editor but becomes limited when used with **Elementor**. It does not fully support **Elementor templates**, such as headers, footers, etc. Suppose you have translated templates in Elementor, but only the original template (for example, **your main header**) is displayed across your entire site, no matter which language the visitor chooses. Additionally, Polylang does not provide a dedicated** language switcher widget**.

**Connect Polylang for Elementor** solves this problem by acting as a bridge between **Polylang** and **Elementor**. It automatically links translated templates and ensures the correct template is displayed for each language and also adds a **dedicated Elementor Language Switcher widget**, allowing you to place a customizable language switcher anywhere on your site.

## Install & Activate Plugin

- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.

- Navigate to the **Plugins** section.

- Search for the “`***Connect Polylang** **for Elementor***`” plugin.

- Install & Activate it.

Once activated, you can start translating Elementor templates and adding a language switcher to your site.
