You can setup your language when installing it, but that just localizes your site to a language so your WordPress in more languages is not something as straight forward as publishing a post. Because of this, adding the multilingual functionality can be done through a translation plugin, setting up a WordPress Multisite or using machine translation. In this post we’ll go through finding what’s currently possible, what problems you can encounter, talking about machine translations and showing you how you can simplify everything by just taking a different approach that combines the best of both worlds: machine translation and manual translations combined.

Think about the experience of a visitor on your site. They came to your site, intending to find something specific. Then they get caught up looking at a whole bunch of other things and find that they’ve strayed too far from the beaten path. They want to back out, but have no idea where they even are on your site. They could glance back up at the navigation, but the menu doesn’t include all the category breakdowns that led them to the page. This is where breadcrumbs come in handy.

You could just debug your PHP code using functions such as error_log, print, and var_dump, (and to be honest we’ve all done it, a lot!), but sometimes they just aren’t enough, and can actually slow you down while developing.
