Problem: You are planning to translate your website into multiple languages using WPML and need to understand the technical steps and estimate the translation credits required. Solution: If you're experiencing this, we recommend you first check the word count for your website's content. In WPML, navigate to WPML > Translation Management > Dashboard. Here, mark all pages, posts, etc., that you wish to translate. Before confirming, you will see an estimated word count. However, note that this count only includes titles and content of posts and pages. It does not account for custom fields, taxonomies, or meta information for media, which can significantly increase the word count. We suggest multiplying the estimated count by three to get a more accurate estimate of the credits needed. You can then calculate the cost using this link: Automatic Translation Pricing.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. We highly recommend opening a new support ticket if further assistance is needed. You can do so here: WPML Support Forum.
