    Hi,

    Is it possible to have multiple languages by domain and a default language by domain ?

    For example :

    website.be/ => french
    website.be/nl => dutch

    website.ch/ => german
    website.ch/fr => french

    For the moment i use WPML but i must patch it to have this functionnality.
    If Polylang have direclty this functionnality i switch immediately ^^.

    Hi!

    There are two problems in Polylang
    1. you can’t mix multiple domains and subdirectories
    2. one language is associated to only one subdomain or domain

    I guess it is the same as in WPML.

    You could do:

    website.be/ => french be
    nl.website.be/ => dutch

    website.ch/ => german
    fr.website.ch/ => french ch

    I intentionally separated french be and french ch as Polylang will consider them separated (different locale and different language code ) and you will need to have two separate posts (even if they are duplicated of each other).

    With WPML i configure WordPress to be compatible with multidomains and i use directory feature so i can use same language on two different domains.

    So i have to try the same thing on Polylang if i understood ^^.

    Thank you for your response

    Polylang won’t accept to mix sub directories and domains. If you choose the multiple domains option, something like website.ch/fr won’t work. That’s why I proposed you to use fr.website.ch

    No, rather :
    I choose directory option and i leave WordPress take care of domains. So all languages will be available on all domains but i can make a custom language menu to display only some languages for a domain.
