WPML 4.1 Adds Gutenberg Compatibility

WPML versions
12

With the launch of WordPress 5.0 just around the corner, we are excited to announce that WPML is completely compatible with its new editor, Gutenberg.

Gutenberg will make it easier to build your content by using blocks instead of relying on shortcodes and HTML to make things work.

WPML 4.1 not only “works” with Gutenberg, but understands the Gutenberg blocks. Now, with WPML and Gutenberg, you get a rich editing experience and a streamlined translation process.

Design once with Gutenberg, translate with WPML

Gutenberg allows writing rich content using blocks. When you design a page with Gutenberg, it includes a combination of “style” and “text.

When you translate with WPML, you only need to edit the texts. WPML will automatically rebuild the Gutenberg designs for translations, so you only need to design once.

 

WPML makes it easy to translate your Gutenberg content using the Classic Translation Editor, Advanced Translation Editor or through our partner translation services.

  1. We deinstalled your program, we bought it, it did not work at all, it translated into German. We begged 14 days for help, no one helped, just stupid questions, we will translate by hand and we will write a very frustrated article about it.

    • Hi Ahmed,

      Thanks for the question. What you can do is change your setting for translations under WPML->Settings->How To Translate Posts and Pages to “Create translations manually.”

      You can then use the Gutenberg editor to create your translation.

      • I wish WPML devs would get rid of the nag screens that tell us and our customers to install various extensions because ‘it will make your life easier’. Especially the nag asking people to install Translation Management. The TM addon is a pain the neck and is helpful to relatively few people. Most people who use it hate it. it gets in the way of content creation. Please have your devs remove those nags or at least make it possible for us to disable them through wp-config or let us dismiss them once for ever.

  4. A pleasure to greet you, Jose Luis Mejias writes to you, administrator of the site previsionmontevecchio.com, we are currently experiencing a database error related to the WPML plugin.

    We require your URGENT support, we are experiencing a strong fall in sales and lost visits.

    We appreciate your response and support.

    Thank you.
