Hello dear WPML team, We want to know what exaclty is the simplest method of translating pages with WPML and Elementor. Is it neccessary to copy the complete Structure of all pages / post for every language? (with the translationmanager) or is there a simple way to just have one Page Strukture (like the german Elementor pages) and then translate them on the fly with wpml without copying them? Or is it important to copy the complete structure for every language ( for seo benefits regarding the url that then are translated to) Our main way to do this was: Copy all the pages to the new language (with this bulk translatemanager tool) and then in Elementor directly / manually translate them. This way seemed to be very slowly because of changing the names of pages texts, etc, urls everything manually.. Is there a simpler way? Or what would be the best way to do it with Elementor? We started with: hidden link And in wpml we choose to have subdirectories for every langauge like /en/ Now we want to copy the German page for Italian language and we were thinking about how to do it fast and easy .. Basically the question is: Does every language need a subdirectory with everything dublicated? (or is there a simpler way)? Plus: How can we speed things up, is there a way to completeley automatic translate everything- like post, pages, urls, title, texts ? Thanks and Greetings, Martin Engler |

Hi Martin, thanks for contacting us. Actually there is only one way to translate Elementor, and it's the one described in our documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/ About automatic translation, you may want to check here https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/ |

Hello, We now have an issue, we started the translation with the basic wpml subscription and translated everything manually. Now we have the more advanced subscription and could do the automatic translation. Is the automatic translation for ALL langauges or is there a possibility to set this for just one langauge? |

Hi Thomas, > Is the automatic translation for ALL langauges or is there a possibility to set this for just one language? I understand that when you activate the Translate Everything option under WPML → Settings, you want to apply that to chosen languages, not all languages on your website. Did I get that right? If that is the case, when you activate Translate Everything, it will apply to the active language on the website. You can activate the Translate Some option, and after sending the content to the translation from WPML → Translation Management dashboard, you can go to WPML → Automatic Translation and select the content you want to be translated automatically, as shown in the attached screenshot. You can read more about the Automatic Translation for selected content here: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/#translating-individual-pages-posts-and-other-content-automatically. Hope that helps, and let us know if you have any other questions. We would be happy to assist further. |
