Slider Revolution is a WordPress plugin that allows you to create responsive sliders with many animation effects, text, image and video layers, and many other features. The textual content of the slides’ layers needs to be translated in multilingual sites. In this tutorial, we teach you how to do this with WPML.
Translation of global layers is not yet supported by the Slider Revolution plugin. We are in touch with the plugins’ developers and will update here as soon as this gets implemented into the Revolution Slider plugin.
