Today we are happy to announce the new version of BuddyPress Multilingual, this is a free plugin that can be downloaded from the WordPress repository here – https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-multilingual/
This new release will help our clients, using BuddyPress to run multilingual social networks.
The main feature of this new release is that it allows you and, very importantly, the visitors to your BuddyPress site to have a language consistent experience. The Plugin makes all pages display in the required language and gives you the option to translate all strings including the user profile ones.
Please follow this tutorial for more on how to set and translate the BuddyPress features – http://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/buddypress-multilingual/
Enjoy!
Does it allow members to provide entries to free-text xprofile fields (textfields, textareas) in multiple languages, and ensure that appropriate language version is shown in frontend?
Hi,
your free-text fields (textfields, textareas) strings probably come from your theme options, right? If so, they can be translated with WPML but first you should create so called ‘wpml config’ file:
http://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/
Some themes already have this file included.
You can also check if your theme is in our compatibility list
Hi, I just tried to install WP 4.0 + WPML Version 3.1.7.2 + BuddyPress 2.1 + BuddyPress Multilingual Version 1.5 without success.
Is there any restrictions on WP Settings needed to make it work?
– Permalinks = %category%/%postname%/ (tried to use %postname%/ as well)
– WPML = Different languages in directories + Use directory for default language
/us/en/ – website root
/us/en/members/refine_dev2/profile/public/ – Page not found
/us/members/refine_dev2/profile/public/ – page ok
/us/en/register/ – Empty page
/us/register/ – registration appears
[.htaccess]
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wp/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]
# END WordPress
What can we do to solve this with WPML?
Hi,
Please contact our support forum with all the details, ask please to assign the ticket to the compatibility team. We’ll take that on Monday.
Thanks!
