Newbie using Sublanguage

[DISCLAIMER: I’m not a developer, just a common WP user with basic coding skills.]

Hi,

I’ve been playing around with Sublanguage and am wondering whether I got this tool right.

This is what I need:

– the ability to translate a few of my custom post types –> DONE!
– the ability to make the theme switch to the language of the translated custom post –> how do I get this to work??
– to provide the user the option to switch language on the front end (this would be a nice to have feature) –> how do I get this to work??

Can I do this out-of-the box with Sublanguage or is this tool meant for developers to build on it?

I haven’t been able to get Sublanguage to work for me. I manage to translate the posts + the permalinks, but then I get a 404 when opening the translated URLs. I never get to see the translated content.

And, how do menus really work? What custom URL do I need to add to each language item added to the menu?

If you can point me to any documentation that covers this that would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Eva
