Bridge is a premium multipurpose WordPress theme by Qode, sold on ThemeForest for $69 with more than 630 pre-made demo sites. It works with WPBakery (included), Elementor and the block editor, supports WooCommerce, and is listed as translation-ready, WPML-ready and RTL-ready. That makes it a reasonable choice for a multilingual site, as long as you plan your translation setup and keep an eye on page weight.

Below is what Bridge offers, where it fits and where it doesn’t, and how to translate a Bridge site step by step. Figures come from Bridge’s ThemeForest listing, checked on 27 September 2026.

Key takeaways

• Price and support: $69 on ThemeForest, including 6 months of support from the author.
• Track record: on sale for about 12 years, with 224,189 sales and a 4.74 rating from about 6,900 reviews at the time of checking; last updated 11 September 2026.
• Page builders: WPBakery Page Builder is bundled; Elementor and the Gutenberg block editor are also supported.
• Multilingual: the listing says Bridge is “fully prepared for translation”, “WPML Ready” and “RTL Ready”.
• Best for: agencies and businesses that want a finished design quickly. Less ideal if you want a lightweight theme and build everything yourself.

Bridge at a glance

What Bridge does well

A big library of starting points. More than 630 demos cover agencies, shops, restaurants, portfolios, events and more. The one-click demo import gives you a finished-looking site that you then replace with your content. For a small team, that saves weeks.

Choice of page builder. WPBakery comes bundled, and Bridge also supports Elementor and the block editor. If your team already knows one of them, you don’t have to learn a new builder.

Ready for online stores. WooCommerce support covers product, cart and checkout templates, and the theme lists compatibility with YITH’s Quick View and Wishlist plugins.

Translation and RTL readiness. Theme strings are prepared for translation, and RTL support means layouts can mirror for Arabic, Hebrew or Persian. That matters for a multilingual site: a theme that isn’t RTL-ready can take a lot of custom CSS to fix.

Long maintenance history. A theme that has been updated for about 12 years, most recently in September 2026, is less likely to be abandoned than a new one.

Things to consider before you buy

Page weight. Multipurpose themes carry features for every kind of site. Import only the demo you need, deactivate bundled plugins you don’t use, and test your pages with PageSpeed Insights before launch.

Builder lock-in. Content built with WPBakery shortcodes doesn’t move cleanly to another theme or builder. If you may switch later, building with Elementor or blocks gives you more options.

Plugin updates. Bundled premium plugins are updated through the theme. Keep the theme itself updated so those plugins don’t fall behind.

Support window. The purchase includes 6 months of support. After that you extend it or rely on documentation and the community.

How to translate a Bridge website

Bridge handles the design side of a multilingual site: translatable theme strings and RTL layouts. You still need a translation plugin for your content. There are two broad options.

Option A: A multilingual plugin that duplicates content

Bridge’s listing highlights WPML compatibility. Plugins in this style create a separate copy of each page or post per language, which you then translate. It gives fine control but multiplies the pages you manage, and every WPBakery or Elementor layout has to be translated per language.

Option B: A translation layer on top of your existing pages

A plugin like ConveyThis leaves your pages as they are and translates their content for each language, including text inside WPBakery and Elementor elements, WooCommerce products and theme strings. You manage one set of pages and review translations in a dashboard.

Here’s how to do it with ConveyThis:

1. Install the plugin. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New, search for “ConveyThis”, install and activate it. The plugin has 1,000+ active installs and a 4.4/5 rating from 145 reviews on WordPress.org.
2. Connect your account. Create a free ConveyThis account, then paste your API key into the plugin settings.
3. Choose your languages. Pick the source language and the languages you want to add. ConveyThis supports 210 languages.
4. Check the URL structure. On WordPress, translated pages use sub-directories (example.com/fr/) by default, with no DNS changes. Hreflang tags are added for search engines.
5. Place the language switcher. Put it in Bridge’s header or footer where visitors will see it.
6. Review the translations. Open key pages in the visual editor and adjust wording in context: menus, hero sections, buttons and WooCommerce checkout. Add brand and product terms to the glossary so they’re translated consistently.
7. Test RTL languages. If you add Arabic or Hebrew, check that the header, menus and product grids mirror correctly with Bridge’s RTL support.

The WordPress integration page and the help article on translating a WordPress website walk through the setup with screenshots. For stores, see the WooCommerce integration, and if you build with Elementor, the Elementor integration.

Is Bridge a good theme for a multilingual website?

Yes, for most business and agency sites. Its translation readiness, WPML compatibility and RTL support cover the theme side of a multilingual build, and the demo library gets you to a finished design quickly.

Choose something lighter if performance is your top priority and you’re comfortable designing from scratch, or if you want to avoid a bundled page builder. Whichever theme you pick, check three things before committing: that its strings are translatable, that it supports RTL if you need it, and that your translation plugin handles its page builder.
