This article is the 23 December entry<\/strong> for the Vektor Web Solutions Advent Calendar 2025<\/a><\/em>. It follows the article published on 22 December<\/strong> by Masahiko Kawai<\/strong> san, \u201cMaking WordPress Easier to Manage with the Fixed Page Content Block\u201d<\/em> <\/a> In this article, the focus is on building a multilingual website using free themes and free plugins<\/strong>. However, some paid products are also introduced<\/strong> as part of the discussion (PR)<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Hello, this is Chiaki. I\u2019m in charge of marketing and public relations at Vektor, Inc.<\/a> Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s hard to believe that the end of 2025 is already approaching!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the first half of the year, I spent a lot of time on the move \u2014 staying mainly in Japan, briefly returning to our Hong Kong base, speaking in Manila about building multilingual websites<\/a>, travelling back and forth between Malaysia and Thailand, and even spending time in the UK for the first time<\/a>. It was a very mobile first half of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the summer, however, things have shifted, and I\u2019ve been focusing more steadily on tackling the tasks right in front of me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Against that backdrop, I decided to refresh this personal website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the theme, I chose \u201cX-T9<\/a>\u201d, a WordPress theme that supports Full Site Editing (FSE)<\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>, and for multilingual support, I\u2019m using the plugin \u201cBogo<\/a>\u201d. The site is now available in three languages<\/strong>: Japanese as the base language, plus English and Traditional Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both X-T9 and Bogo are free<\/strong> and listed in the official WordPress directory<\/strong>, meaning they can be easily found, downloaded, and installed directly from the WordPress admin screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, I\u2019d like to share some brief reflections on what I noticed while building a multilingual site using a Full Site Editing theme, as well as a few observations that are specific to running a personal website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026That was the plan, at least \u2014 but it turned out to be a rather long article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background to the Refresh<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I had been using \u201cKatawara<\/a>\u201d, a Lightning Pro\u2013based theme that offered a good balance of flexibility and usability, for around six years. Over time, I started thinking that I\u2019d like to move to a Full Site Editing (FSE)\u2013compatible theme \u2014 and perhaps make the site multilingual at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, despite these ideas, I kept putting it off and never quite found the motivation to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then recently, an Advent Calendar article by Vektor\u2019s development lead, Ishikawa, titled \u201cDid You Know? WordPress Block Themes Are Actually a Perfect Match for Multilingual Sites\u201d<\/em> was published, and I thought, \u201cThis is the moment!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that article, the Full Site Editing\u2013compatible theme \u201cX-T9\u201d<\/strong>, the multilingual plugin \u201cBogo\u201d<\/strong>, and a design adjustment plugin that makes Bogo easier to use with X-T9<\/strong> are all introduced \u2014 and made available for anyone to use for free<\/strong>. Much appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
