Frequently Asked Questions

1. Create an Account

To begin, go to Translation Hub and create a new account. If you already have an account on wpml.org, you can log into Translation Hub using your existing credentials.

2. Add Clients

To receive translation jobs from clients, you first need to add them to your account: 

  1. In Translation Hub, go to the Clients tab. 
  2. Click Add new client
  3. Enter your client’s details. 

Your client will now receive an email with instructions for connecting to your service in WPML. 

If your clients can’t find the email, go to their profile and send them their Activation Key and API Token – they’ll need this to connect with your service.

Once you complete the job, your clients will automatically receive translations on their websites.
