Martin Sauter: Mehrsprachige Websites mit WordPress
WordPress unterstützt zwar die Lokalisierung von Websites, aber keine mehrsprachigen Websites. Erst Plugins wie WPML, Polylang oder MultilingualPress machen WordPress mehrsprachig – und verfolgen dabei sehr unterschiedliche Ansätze. In dieser Session geht es einerseits darum, wie man eine WordPress-Website lokalisiert (inkl. Übersetzung von Language Packs), und andererseits darum, wie sich der Übersetzungsprozess mit den verschiedenen Mehrsprachigkeits-Plugins gestaltet.

Charles Johnston: WordPress for Non-Profits: Website Best Practices for donation-based model websites
Charles will discuss plugins that he finds work well for donation-based model websites, and share ways to create a user experience to increase donations and awareness. Proper theme selection, SEO, and plugins not only enhance the way we tell a nonprofit’s story, but also build brand awareness and in turn create a sense of comfort for the donor that they are supporting a cause which resonates with them. Whether the cause relates to animal welfare, orphans or trafficking, a properly designed site can attract donor dollars and exposure that the organisation might not have otherwise.
