Urgent WordPress Multilingual Site Overhaul

Job ID: 40303245

Budget: $30 – $250 USD

Subject: URGENT: WordPress Multilingual Migration - MUST BE ONLINE BY MARCH 24

Project Description:

I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to urgently help me restructure my multilingual website setup. Currently, I have a WordPress Multisite configuration managing two separate sites:

bei-lin-da.com (main site)

bei-lin-da.it (Italian-only site)

I have encountered critical URL conflicts where posts with the same ID from different sites are showing incorrect content. I want to migrate away from the Multisite confusion and implement a clean, professional multilingual solution.

CRITICAL DEADLINE: The new site MUST be online and fully functional by March 24
What I Need:

On the main site (.com):

Install and configure Polylang (free version is acceptable)

Set up the following languages: Italian, English, Chinese (others may be added later)

Ensure clean, SEO-friendly URL structure (e.g., /en/post-name/, /zh/post-name/)

Bulk Translation of Existing Content:

The site has many existing pages and posts that need translation

Implement a bulk translation solution compatible with Polylang (e.g., PolyTranslate AI, Skylang, or similar)

All translations must be saved as separate posts/pages in the WordPress database (no "on-the-fly" translation)

The solution must preserve:

Page layout and formatting

Images and media

Custom fields and meta data

SEO meta titles and descriptions

On the Italian site (.it):

Leave it as Italian-only (no changes needed)

Ensure no conflicts remain with the main site

SEO & Technical Requirements:

Proper implementation of hreflang tags for all language versions

XML sitemaps for each language

URLs must follow the pattern: domain.com/language-code/post-slug/

No duplicate content issues

All existing posts/pages must maintain their correct content association

Testing & Verification:

Provide proof that the new structure works:

All languages are accessible via correct URLs

Language switcher works properly

Google can see and index all language versions

No more ID conflicts between the two sites

Deliverables:

Fully functional multilingual site on bei-lin-da.com

All content translated (using automatic translation as base)

Clean migration plan to eventually phase out the problematic Multisite setup

Documentation of the new structure

Skills Required:

Expert in WordPress Multisite

Expert in Polylang (or WPML if you recommend a better free alternative)

Experience with bulk translation plugins and AI translation APIs

Strong understanding of multilingual SEO (hreflang, sitemaps)

Problem-solving skills for URL conflicts

Ability to work under strict deadlines

Budget & Selection Criteria:
I will ONLY consider proposals that include ALL of the following:

Your REAL fixed price (no vague estimates or hourly ranges)

A CERTAIN DATELINE confirming you can deliver by March 24

Clear breakdown of what's included in your price

How to Apply:
Please include in your proposal:

Your experience with similar multilingual migrations

Which translation plugin/API you recommend and why

Your approach to testing and verifying the work

Your FIXED PRICE (in USD/EUR)

Your CONFIRMED COMPLETION DATE (must be March 24 or earlier)

Any potential risks you foresee and how you'd mitigate them

Additional Context:
I am open to suggestions. If you believe there's a better approach than Polylang (considering my need for free solution + bulk translation + future scalability), I am willing to listen.

IMPORTANT: Proposals without a clear fixed price and confirmed March 24 deadline will be automatically rejected.

Thank you! I look forward to receiving your serious, deadline-committed proposals.
