Ulatus is an American company focusing on Asian languages - explicitly Japanese, Chinese, Korean and Indic languages. It was founded in 2005 and has 1200 in-territory translators working with a variety of industries.

Démarrer avec Ulatus

To send files for translation to Ulatus, you first have to log in to your wpml.org account, and download and install the following plugins on your website:

  • WPML Multilingual CMS: the core plugin.
  • WPML Translation Management: this plugin will allow you to connect to Ulatus.
  • WPML String Translation: this plugin will enable you to translate interface strings.

If you do not have a wpml.org account yet, you can create a new one by simply choosing between our WPML Multilingual CMS or Multilingual CMS Lifetime plans.

As soon as you get access to your wpml.org  account, you may refer to our detailed step-by-step guide on how to download and install WPML. Please remember to register your site to receive automatic updates and gain access to Ulatus’ services.

If you need any help with the WPML plugin configuration, you can go through our getting started guide or simply ask a question on our support forum.

NOTICE: Be aware that cancellation requests for previously submitted work should be sent as soon as possible since Ulatus cannot cancel translation work that has already been completed: unless your commercial terms state otherwise, you will be charged for the work completed.

Having your canceled translations returned to your site

Depending on your Translation pickup mode configuration, when a project is canceled, information will be returned to your site automatically or after you have manually checked for canceled translations by clicking the Check status and get translations button in the Translation Management Dashboard.
