BuddyPress Multilingual
BuddyPress Multilingual turn BuddyPress sites into fully multilingual, including standard WordPress content and activity streams.
This is how it looks like in action:
BuddyPress Multilingual
Both guest sites and the main site can have contents in many languages (using WPML). This plugin makes the BuddyPress controls language-aware, so that when visitors navigate around the site, they remain in the same language.
Installation
After you unpack downloaded zip file from the plugin download page to your WPMU installation plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/), activate it through link ‘Activate Buddypress Multilingual Site Wide’ or the regular ‘Activate’ link.
For this plugin to work, you need to have the WPML plugin enabled as well. Together, they will transform the BuddyPress site into multilingual.
What does it actually do?
- Translates user activity streams – see demo
- You can choose what to display in activity streams in different languages. This includes all status updates (in all languages) or only translates ones. To control this, go to Settings->BuddyPress Multilingual.
- Adds language information to BuddyPress elements
- When visitors navigate the site, they stay in the same language. All the special BuddyPress pages will behave link standard WordPress posts and pages, with language URLs.
Requirements and settings
Buddypress Multilingual needs no setup. It works out-of-the box with your BuddyPress themes.
Notice: To use it, you must configure WPML to arrange languages in directories.

Any news/progress on WPML for BuddyPress?
Even if it would not be for free
We’re working on it right now. There’s just quite a lot to do, so we’re not sure when we’ll have the new version ready.
This is quite a nice plugin but unfortunately there are some problems. When the user changes the language (for example to German), several links are broken. The most important ones:
- The Logout Button is not working (http://domain.tld/de/wp-login.php?action=logout … )
- It is not possible to reply to a post in the group forum (http://domain.tld/de/de/groups/test/forum/topic/test/)
Will there be a fix for this?
We know about several issues that need fixing. Both problems you’re mentioning comes from the same place and we’re handling it.
Thank you very much for your very fast response
I hope the fix will become available in the next month.
Are there any updates, when the problems will be fixed?
Any update on those fixes? A target release date?
Thanks.
Any news on the horizon yet?
I want to use BuddyPress together with WPML (instead of Symposium or Mingl). But it has to be a multilangual environment. Any idea about a date for a new release with a WPML/Buddypress fix included?
Amir Amir, are you still here?
BuddyPress 1.5 has just been released. Is BuddyPress Multiligual current version compatible? If not, what is its release plan?
Thanks.
Hi, I keep getting a fatal error when I try to install WPML on my BuddyPress site. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug that needs to be fixed/ has been fiixed? Thanks.
Have you submitted that error to our forum? Without the details, it’s very difficult to help.
Hi.
If I have a bug to report specifically related to BuddyPress Multilingual, is it here, or if not, where is it?
Thanks.
I am also interested if BuddyPress Multiligual is compatible with the new Buddypress 1.5. I have sent messages to WPML and thus far no reply.
Hi,
Is this ever going to integrate to standard WP (not WPMU)?
Yes. BuddyPress works fine in multi-site and single-site modes.
We are planning to extend our community to China, is the WPML for Buddypress is stable for productions?
