I’m lost. I have a WordPress site in English. I have a good Italian translation of the home page. I want the site to be bilingual with Italian at the primary language and English second. WordPress seemed to being saying I must go to Glotpress for some kind of approval of the translation I have available. But how does it happen?

If you already have a working translation to Italian, you are free to use that, no approval is required. There is a sanctioned translation to Italian, but you are under no obligation to use it. GlotPress is simply a platform for translators to collaborate.

Thank you Ze. I do have the translation I need for the home page, but I not understand how to make all the pages on my web site obviously bilingual, maybe with the help of glotpress or polyglot eventually, so the user can choose between Italian and English right from the start?

Hi Edward,
Sorry to say, but looks you are really lost
This site is for people who is doing the translations and you simply want to use the translations.
There are some plugins who can help you to have a bilingual site, I personally use qTranslate. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/
The correct place to ask questions like this would be the WordPress forums, https://wordpress.org/support/
Good luck,
Gabriel

Thank you for replying Gabriel. I do not know how to set up the web site to be bilingual. By that I mean that when someone enters the home page they see a choice of languages: Italian, English. Then by choosing a language everything comes up in the preferred language.

As I said earlier, you will need a plugin.
qTranslate is my personal choice. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/
I assume you have a self-hosted WordPress site, correct? Then just install the plugin, activate it and follow the instructions to start creating bilingual content.
