The idea of our “How does internationalization work with…”<\/strong> series is to take a closer look at shop systems<\/strong> and examine their potential for internationalization. But today we are going to make an exception and explore the Content Management System<\/strong> (CMS) WordPress<\/strong><\/a>. The reasons for this are two-fold: Firstly, free-to-use WordPress<\/strong> is the world’s most prominent CMS with a gigantic market share<\/strong> of almost 60% (as of 2017). Secondly, it is one of the most versatile systems and can be transformed into a fully fledged online shop<\/strong> with little effort, using plugins such as WooCommerce<\/strong><\/a>. Alex Frison<\/strong> kindly agreed to discuss the topic with us. As COO and co-owner of Inpsyde<\/a><\/strong>, he is THE expert for WordPress<\/strong>, especially when it comes to multilingualism and online shop functionality. <\/p>\n <\/div> <\/div> WordPress<\/strong> started in 2003 as a software for blogs<\/strong>, but quickly developed into a fully-fledged CMS that could also be used to implement demanding and comprehensive website projects. Nevertheless, for a long time WordPress had to live with the preconception that it was “only” a blog system that could not keep up with other CMSs. WordPress has now left this reputation behind, but some people still do not take it seriously.<\/p>\n
