Hello Agnes Bury,
and thanks for your answer
sorry, but again you don’t udnerstand my (easy) question
when i write “Automatically” it’s mean, automatically: without human intervention
understand?
Yes, this is possible in the fallback option I described. You need to set this fallback option only once and from now on the duplication will happen automatically.
Comments i read on Internet about this it’s:
it works from the main Language of website to others languages: the post (Listing) will be duplicate to others languages
but when a post (Listing) is posted from an other enabled languages in WPML, so it will be not duplicated in the main language website
me i would like that it works in everyway
from the main to others languages, and visible too from other languages to main language (EN)
understand what i mean? for users don’t have to post 3 times (if 3 languages) the same post or edit it
Hello,
you need 2 credits to translate 1 word. You would need to know how many words your site has. There are some tools online which can help you to get this information. As soon as you know how many words your site has, you can use this calculator: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/automatic-translation-pricing/#simulate-your-translation-price
It’s good to translate only to one language at first and see how it goes and add more languages later.
I already have a wpml license purchased where I have included WPML All import, now I can’t download it, it tells me that I have to upgrade, I don’t understand why since I don’t need it, what can I do?
Hi again,
I can see you have an active WPML account but the Blog one. I can see that the WPML All import plugin has been replaced with WPML Export and Import. Can you please use it instead? If no, please help us understand why you need the old version of the plugin.
In the meantime I will check with our team if we provide a way to download the old one.
We (WPML team) don’t provide custom work but our contractors do. You would need to check with some of them but what you are requesting is not a simple change so it’s hard to tell who would be interested.
In response to our below thread (I tried replying directly to the thread but it’s not working). We have one (English) language that we want to translate to 9 other languages within the WPML system. You mentioned in a response “When I put 4 million credits and set it to one language, I’m getting €1,137.00 EUR. For 1.8 million credits > €587.00 EUR” Is this a cost for a single language translation? Or is this a cost for doing one language (English) translated to 9 other languages? I am trying to clarify if the cost is 1,137.00 EUR per language translation or for one (English) translated for 9 other languages.
Thank you
Jordan

Hi Agnes,
I have two sites registered under my account I need 4 million credits for one and 1.8 million credits for the other. I am trying to figure out the pricing estimates but do not find an official calculator on the WPML site. I found this page which gives a reference. https://wpml.org/announcements/2022/02/new-pricing-for-automatic-translation/
Could you please give me a quote for a “pay as you go” option for 6 million credits across two sites?
In addition, I have development sites for each of these sites – would I be able to translate on a development environment and then push the site to production (with translations done in development) or would I need to do all translations in production? Or can i do both?

Hello Jordan,
you can use this credit calculator
When I put 4 million credits and set it to one language, I’m getting €1,137.00 EUR.
For 1.8 million credits > €587.00 EUR
Yes, you can translate on the development site and then apply the following “trick”
1. You connect both sites by sharing a special key as describe here
2. On your production site, you translate your pages again but since translation memory will be used, all the translations will be pulled from the translation memory of the shared (development) site and applied (without consuming new credits) on your production site.
You could test this one with a few posts to see how it works.
Or you can move your entire development site to your production site and override it (as you would do with any site migration)
The quote had been checked for only one language (that’s what I meant when saying “and set it to one language”). When you visit the page with the calculator you can use the bottom slider “Number of languages to translate into” and put 9 languages. Please note that you don’t have to translate everything. WPML allows you to select the posts that need to be translated. Some of our client tend to skip irrelevant or old posts.
If you have the WPML Multilingual type of account, you don’t need to upgrade because this package contains all of the WPML plugins, including WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency. Please check the Download section on your account and you should see this plugin there. Or you can check the list of plugins on your WordPress site that uses WPML:
a) go to Plugins
b) add new
c) Click on the Commercial tab

you mean, that all the next posts will be automaticall duplicate in others languages without admin intervention?
If you use the fallback feature, yes, all the next posts will be automatically duplicated to others languages without admin intervention.

The fallback feature works only for posts published in the main language. So it won’t work in the case you have described now.
but there is a possibility for it works in every way for all languages?
because only in one way, there is not sense
No, this feature works only one way: from the default language to secondary language.
maybe possible from your team, to write a snippet code to instert in fucntions.php file for do in every way?
Not possible, I’m sorry but this is not that simple as it might appear to be and would provide other implications.
Hi Team,
What dose 90,000 translation credits means?
This is my website – https://www.aryaka.com/
If I want to translate the whole website in 5 different languages. How many credits do i need?

Hello,
to download WPML plugins you need to have an active WPML account. If your WPML subscription expired, you need to buy again.
Hi again,
I can see you have an active WPML account but the Blog one. I can see that the WPML All import plugin has been replaced with WPML Export and Import. Can you please use it instead? If no, please help us understand why you need the old version of the plugin.

“Not possible, I’m sorry but this is not that simple as it might appear to be and would provide other implications”
but if i pay for this custom work?
Nobody in the WPML tam, no one developper can make cusrtom work for custoemrs?
We (WPML team) don’t provide custom work but our contractors do. You would need to check with some of them but what you are requesting is not a simple change so it’s hard to tell who would be interested.
