Lower the cost of translation with 10,000 free words of automatic translation every month

Announcements
90

It’s always a good idea to save money, but these days it’s becoming critical. WPML’s small contribution is by offering 10,000 words of automatic translation for free, every month.

How Automatic Translation Reduces the Cost of Runnings Multilingual Sites

No matter if you’re translating your sites or you have others doing the translation, WPML’s automatic translation will save time and money. Automatic translation gets it right about 90%-95% of the time. This means that you only need to edit 10%-5% of the translation. So, automatic translation normally brings down the cost of running a multilingual site by 90% to 95%.

How to Translate Automatically

To translate content automatically, you’ll need to use WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor. You can translate automatically from inside the editor (per job), or entire batches of jobs. When you translate entire batches of jobs, it’s still a good idea to review the translation and edit it, when needed.

How to Receive Your 10,000 Free Words

Please note that the 10,000 free words promotion ended on October 8, 2020. Please see our current automatic translation pricing.

All clients with valid WPML Multilingual CMS and Multilingual Agency accounts (not expired accounts) receive 10,000 words of free automatic translation every month. To claim your free quota, log-in to your WordPress site. Then, go to WPML→Translation Management→Translation Tools. You will see a message that looks like this:

Click on the Claim Words button and you’re all set for this month. Next month, if you need additional automatic translation quota, you can visit this dialog again and reload your quota for free automatic translation.

    • Vladimir, you’re clicking on that button in your WordPress site and not on the screenshot in this announcement post, right? (just making sure). If it’s not working for you, I suggest to check the JavaScript console and see if it’s showing any errors. Then, can you please report this in WPML technical forum? One of our supporters will check your site and see why it’s not working for you.

      Thanks

  3. Hello,

    I have a valid License and cannot click the button in the admin area.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Thank you

  7. Hello Amir,
    actually the button in my backend is not clickable and the message says:
    For this month you already received 10,000 free words on 2020/03/31 from https://www.hardware-wallets.de. You can get the next 10,000 words on 2020/04/01.

    Really cannot understand who ‘hardware-wallets’ is, and how they claim these words…
    Am i missing something?
    Thanks

  9. There is no such message in my admin panel (translation tools). There is no update to be done, I use the German version (if that’s a factor). I have a WordPress multisite installation and tried with the website is bound to my wpml account.

    • You can find the claim button in WPML -> Translation Management -> Translation tools. It requires Translation Management plugin (from WPML suite) to be installed.
      If it still not visible, please open a support ticket here: https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/ and provide a screenshot with Translation Tools tab.

  11. I wanted to access my words for free, and I see that there is a website that does not belong to me has used the words, is this possible? In the banner appears the web address of an online store that I have never seen. I can add a screenshot if it is better to understand it.

    • You can find the claim button in WPML -> Translation Management -> Translation tools. It requires Translation Management plugin (from WPML suite) to be installed.
      If it still not visible, please open a support ticket here: https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/ and provide a screenshot with Translation Tools tab.

    • You’re right. That’s my mistake when I wrote about this feature. Since it uses our Advanced Translation Editor, which comes with WPML Translation Management, if you only have a “Multilingual Blog” account, you can’t use it. I’m editing the post now to explain it. Thanks for the good catch.

  18. Hi Amir,
    the button says: “For this month you already received 10,000 free words on 2020/03/31 from https://www.hardware-wallets.de. You can get the next 10,000 words on 2020/04/01.”
    I’m quite sure I haven’t received the words.
    Have a good day
    Roberto

    • 10000 words are per WPML license. First site that claims will get it, rest of the site will not be able to claim the words

  20. Hello Amir,
    I followed the steps you listed but did not get the message.
    Kindly advise

    Thanks!

  21. I’m assuming that those of us with a lifetime plan do not qualify for this offer, correct? Because I enabled automatic translation and can see the option to “Claim Words”, but the button is greyed out.

    • Lifetime accounts qualify, but only from one site. If the button is grayed out, it means that was already claimed from from another website on your account, there should be a text explanation why the button is grayed out

      • No, it has *not* been claimed on another site. I *only* enabled automatic translation on one site just a few moments ago, and that site is the only one that has the “Translation Tools” tab available on the WPML->Translation Management page. However, the “Claim Words” button is still greyed out. Do I need to sign up for Automatic Translation first, and enter my payment information before I will have the option to add on the free 10,000 words?
        Thank you for offering this, as I believe it is a noble thing to do during this global crisis.

        • No, you don’t need to sign up for Automatic Translation first. Those words are offered even without a subscription to Automatic Translation. May I know your website url and a screenshot of the box with the grayed out button?

            • To be able to claim this offer, you need to have active WPML subscription and WPML has to be registered on the site with a valid key generated from your WPML account. You should login in your WPML account and make sure that this site is registered with a valid key. To reach your account, you should use this link: https://wpml.org/account/sites/.

                • The only thing that matters is that WPML installation on the site to be registered with a valid key attached to your account. Can you try claiming the words from the main site registered? Or check and make sure that WPML is registered on the staging site with the same key as the main site.

  23. Hi,
    I also cannot click on the button but with a different behaviour:
    I can see the offer, the button is not greyed out but when I hover over with the mouse the mouse arrow changes to a circle crossed through and I cannot click. When I inspect the object with the browser built in inspector the button says it is disabled.
    I have a lifetime subscription and the latest version of the components. I also recreated the key and re-registered my domain to no avail.
    Please advise,
    Mark
