Hi guys! I made a wp website in english and i had a friend who translated it to spanish. I would like to make a button on my website where people can choose from the two languages but i don’t want to use any plugins or translators. Can someone tell me how can I do that without plugins (if it is possible)?

Unless you know how to code, you need to use a plugin, as there are code changes that need to be made.
If your reluctance to use a plugin because you’re using a wordpress.com that doesn’t allow plugins?
You could create a copy of your website on a subdomain, like, **es.yoursite.com**, or, create a copy in a folder like **yoursite.com/es/**. But it’s a pain to update every little detail in two places. Especially if you update things often or your website is interactive.
Otherwise, WPML is the go to for most people.
One approach is to set up two WP installs in subfolders – something like domain.tld/eng/ & domain.tld/esp/ – and have a language picker on an simple index.html homepage in the root to send visitors to the language version they’d prefer. Not ideal, but it’s one way you can do it without plugins.
