SDL Language Cloud

United States, UK, Germany

The SDL Language Cloud connector for WPML provides a seamless link between WPML and SDL Language Cloud, allowing fast and easy management of multilingual web content and translation projects from within WordPress.

スタート方法 SDL Language Cloud

To send content for translation in SDL Language Cloud, make sure you the have following plugins installed on your website:

  • WPML Multilingual CMS – the core plugin
  • WPML Translation Management – this plugin lets you connect to SDL
  • WPML String Translation – this plugin lets you translate interface strings

You can download these from your wpml.org account or, if you do not have an account yet, create a new one simply by choosing between WPML Multilingual CMS or Multilingual CMS Lifetime plans.

SDL will be visible in the WPML->Translation Management->Translators tab, which is available only after WPML registration. The whole registration process takes only a few seconds.

If you need help with the WPML plugin configuration, please reference the getting started guide or simply ask a question on the support forum.

Connecting your site to SDL Language Cloud

Once all the required plugins have been installed and activated, all you need to make sure you can connect WPML to the translation service is your username and password for SDL Language Cloud Managed Translation.
