Go-Global Program

We think that multilingual should be a basic feature for any WordPress theme and we’re willing to spend every effort to make it happen.

Our Go-Global helps turn WordPress themes into fully multilingual-ready. When we’re done, your clients can use the theme on multilingual sites, easily and smoothly.

 Original theme or plugin authors only
 Public themes or plugins only (not for “work-for-hire”)

Note: This is a program for theme and plugin authors. Specific customer scenarios are resolved in our support forum.

You Get Happier Clients

By helping you turn your code into 100% multilingual-ready, we make it easier for all of us. When your clients run multilingual sites, they require less support from us and from you. This way, instead of supporting dozens of web-developers, who use your code, we take care of everything with you. It’s a win-win-win situation. You get more sales, WPML sells more and the clients receive better products.

How do I Get Started?

Contact us and apply. Tell us about your theme or plugin and we’ll create a free account for you, so that you can download WPML and participate in our forum. The next step is to use our Multilingual Compatibility Testing Tool. This tool easily tests themes and plugins compatibility with WPML.

  • Translates strings by adding the proper WP prefix before the string
  • Translates plugin strings by adding the proper WP prefix before the string
  • Scans your custom post types, custom taxonomies and custom fields
  • Helps you when creating a wpml-config.xml file

Once you are done with testing and fixing, contact us againWe’ll check it and confirm to you that everything works fine and your theme or plugin is compatible with WPML. In order for us to upload a copy of your theme or plugin on our servers, we need an access to your resource – a link to download a copy or a private email with an archive (if it isn’t publicly accessible). Once we have the product here, we will set up the demo site and check it.

The next step “is enjoying the fruits of our hard work”. We will post your theme or plugin in our weekly bulletin and we will ask you to do the same so our clients know that your theme or plugin is compatible with WPML.

How it works

  1. Contact us and apply.
  2. We create your account for WPML.org, so that you can download the recent versions of WPML.
  3. Use our Multilingual Compatibility Testing Tool to check and fix your theme or plugin.
  4. Once you are done fixing, send us your theme(s) or plugin.
  5. We install it on a private test server, review everything and make sure that the theme and WPML play nice.
  6. We add your theme to our theme compatibility page and  announce it’s multilingual-ready in our weekly  bulletin.
  7. We will ask you to announce the same to your clients.
