Without more details its hard to tell.
The strings need to be enclosed in gettext functions, in other words, prepared for translation.
The String Translation add-on will pick up the strings and let you translate them.
If you find out it doesn’t work for you, you can always ask for a refund within 30 days.
I’m considering buying WPML CMS, but I want to be sure that it will do 3 things in particular:
i) Will it translate the side bar widgets in different languages e.g. recent post etc.
ii) Will it allow me to have different social media icons/channels for each different language
iii) Can I set a user to only access and edit posts for one language
Thanks!
Hi! Does WPML directly translate word for word or content for content? Right now we have a free translator that translate word for word and that usually creates more confusion as languages can not be interpreted correctly. Also is WPML compatible with our website?
I have a site in English and German. Default language is English. I will translate all pages into German but I do not want to translate any posts. They will stay in English.
My question is: can WPML display the blog posts (in English) on a German language page (i.e. with menu and text – other than blog posts — appearing in German)?
And, can it do so without me having to duplicate the posts into German. I don’t want to have to add a “translation” of a post that is not really translated.
If I go the route of creating a non-translatable custom-post type, will I be able to pull the English posts onto a German page and still have the navigation etc in German?
No you can’t use the blog version to translate the strings, you need to buy the CMS version of WPML.
Please have a look at this page: https://wpml.org/purchase/ it explains the main differences between the two offers.
Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d be very happy to help.
For the “Translation for Theme and Plugin Texts” feature, when using translateable strings in a plugin, do these changes persist whenever the source plugin is updated?
Example: We use Plugin A, which updates every week or so. Using WPML, we translate the phrase “Hello world” in Plugin A to German. Would we need to redo this every time Plugin A is updated, or will WPML remember this string, provided the plugin doesn’t change core related “Hello world”?
I bought wpml for 79 dollars use it for 1 website but I can see for website usage is unlimited. I want to use the same purchase I’d for my new website. How can I do that ?
Hello Derick,

Hi,
I’m currently working on the site wheelchairvans.ca to be bilingual in french/english.
How can I translate words on the page such as:
Details and Options which are hardcoded in the theme and the attribute lables.
If I purchase the $79 package will this solve this translation issue?
Thanks,
Dan

Hello Porter,
WPML does not make automatic translatins. You can see here how it works https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/.
Kind regards,
Is danish supported?
Hello Claus,
WPML supports all languages, including Danish of course. NOTE: it does not make automatic translations https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/
I changing the vehicle catalogue to use woocommerce on http://wheelchairvans.ca

https://www.wheelchairvans.ca/product/dodge-grand-caravan-2017-16-112-by-savaria/
This is the french page:
https://www.wheelchairvans.ca/fr/product/dodge-grand-caravan-2017-stow-n-go-17-047-par-savaria/
There is an issue when toggling back and forth with the languages. Just click on the English link in the top menu.
How to I translate attribute names such as Conversion, Exterior Colour, Status, and Engine?
How can I translate elements on the page that I have set myself in the template such as Details and Options?
I appreciate your help.

It looks like you are missing “WooCommerce Multilingual”, the glue plugin that makes WPML & WooCommerce work well together. You have complete documentation over here, including required plugins:

It is true that posts and pages are translatable by default and you can’t change this.
The best solution is to create duplicates with WPML, you can do it in batches and they are updated automatically. Its all explained here in detail:
https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/displaying-untranslated-content-using-content-duplication/
You could also create a new custom post type for your blog posts and keep it non-translatable.
Thanks David,
that is helpful.
How will the fact that there is duplicated content (e.g. two blog posts which are the same but with a slightly different URL like http://www.site.com/post and http://www.site.com/de/post affect SEO?
If I go the route of creating a non-translatable custom-post type, will I be able to pull the English posts onto a German page and still have the navigation etc in German?
1) According to Google this is not a problem:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en#3
2) Yes, you should be able to see it in both languages.
