Hi,
I was wondering, if I buy the “Multilingual CMS” version, what will happen when the year is out? Is it mandatory to renew the account or can I leave it as is? If I don’t renew the account will the additional langages disappear from the website?
Renewals are not automatic. If you don’t renew your account, your sites will continue to work normally. A valid account is necessary to receive updates and support. Of course, it’s a good idea to have all plugins up-to-date in your sites, but that’s your decision.
You can only take advantage of the reduced renewal price before your subscription ends.
After that you have to purchase a new one.
However, you can still upgrade to a lifetime account paying for the difference.
You should see a link to do so in your account page: https://wpml.org/account/
Hi. Will I be able to manually edit any bad translations and will the plugin recognize the ip address location and switch to the language based on the region. Will I also be able to use flags as icons for languages or maybe flags and text at the same time. Thank you
Will I be able to manually edit any bad translations
WPML doesn’t translate automatically. You provide translations. You can also use one of the professional translation services integrated with WPML. These are paid extra. If you are interested in that option, please let me know and I’ll provide more details.
will the plugin recognize the ip address location and switch to the language based on the region.
No, but WPML does an option to detect the language set in your visitor’s browser.

Hello Damian,
WPML works with WooCommerce. Unfortunately, we don’t have any demo site where you could test it. But our refund policy allows you test WPML for 30 days without any risk. You just need to fill out that form
Hi there, does the Multilingual CMS allow both machine and manual translation at no extra cost? Also, is it compatible with the WordPress theme Organic Web Shop?
Hello Vera,
WPML doesn’t translate automatically at all. You provide translation. You also have an option to send your pages, posts and other content to one of the translation services integrated with WPML (human made translations) but for those you need to pay.
Here we list all themes tested and compatible with WPML https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/ I cannot see your theme on that list. It means it wasn’t tested by our team but it might work. Even if a theme is not fully compatible with WPML you should be able to translate posts, pages, menus. Our refund policy allows you to test WPML for 30 days without any risk. https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds-policy/
You can also contact our support experts during that probation period.
Hi Agnes, would it be possible for someone from your team to test whether my theme (Organic Web Shop) is compatible with WPML before I make the purchase?
We’re using Visual Composer on our website and have created a template for a custom post type page. This custom post type page (a private page) is created for every registered user and the registered user is only able to see his/her own private page and don’t have the access to other users private pages (thus the user’s private page has unique URL). All private pages are populated with the same template (we created in VC) when they’re created (they’re created automatically when a new user is registered – one private page per user).
Now the question is: will we be able to use WPML to translate just the template once thus every time a new user is registered and his/her private page is automatically created and populated with the template, it (the page) is also would have a default translated version? Or we would need to translate the page for every new user every time?
Hi Dan,
Templates have no languages information. But you can create a translated version of your template and save it as ‘My Translated Template’, then assign that translated template to the translated pages.
About auto-creation of the translated pages: WPML cannot do that out of the box. However, with some custom work, you may achieve that.
Hello , I need to know some information about your plugin
but first of all i need to know if this plugin can translate my website auto
i do not want google translate all i care about is pro translating
does this plugin provide pro translating ? and if it does how much would it cost for this plugin + having pro translating .
thats all .
thanks
Hello,
WPML doesn’t translate automatically. You provide the translations or you can use our Translation Management (included in the CMS or Life package) plugin that allows you to send your content to professional translation services integrated with WPML. You can learn more here. https://wpml.org/documentation/content-translation/
I am interested to go with WPML for a website which needs to be converted into “Swahili”.
Before I purchase, could you please confirm, whether i will get swahili as a language with WPML? Is this plugin and after converting to swahilli will not messup anything in woocommerce site?
Please note that, my website is in wordpress, using woocommerce and would like to convert everything to swahili (from frontend).
WPML works with WooCommerce but if you want to make sure that your site will look good after switching to Swahili I’d recommend you checking if the theme you plan to use is compatible with WPML. This search will help:
Hello,
I have a question about wmpl. I have to import bulk products (6000 clothes) from an url address and i have to set a cron job to get updated every 2 hours (as the products on the url address changes), the question is if WMPL can automatically translate all the products from that url address every time the cron job runs? The products are in english and i need to be translated in my website language (romanian)
Thank you!
Thank you for you answer. I know about that plugin and i intend to buy both wp all import and the WPML. The wp all import does not have a translation function ,as far as i know, so the question remains the same.
Waiting for your reply. Thanks!
I want to make my personal blog bilingual and by far WPML seemed the best option. I am planning to buy the Multilingual Blog plan since I won’t use many functions the Multilingual CMS offers and it’s a price I can afford, but I have a question before proceeding with the purchase. Will I be able to make a bilingual version of widgets like “about”, “recent posts” and everything that uses to be on a sidebar?
Thank you!
Hi Danielly,
Thank you for your interests in WPML. To translate widgets you will need the WPML String Translation plugin which is included in the CMS (or Lifetime0 package. Please learn more here:
Hi Agnes,
Thank you for answering. The point is the CMS, for now, is out of my budget and it’s the only thing I would need out of the Blog plan. The conditional ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE==en would work? For now, I don’t want to translate the widgets but their content and titles. Is that a solution? In the future, I may upgrade the plan to make everything easier.
Yes, you can get started with the Blog option and upgrade to the CMS one later (for the difference in purchase price) and yes, you can use this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpml-widgets/
HI,
I want to buy the wpml plugin but i want to know which version i buy.In the purches its not appear. And I need that the version will up version 3.9.3 Because I want that its work with Avada theme.
Thanks!

if you buy a WPML subscription you get access to all WPML plugins we’ve ever released since in your Download section you can access previous versions (under Changelog) as well. We recommend to always use the most recent version.
Hi, we’re developing a custom, AJAX/SPA based, theme and want to test the compatibility of the WPML plugin against it (to ultimately make it compatible).
Is there a free version of the plugin we can use for testing, without having to purchase?
The reason I ask is that we have tested multiple plugins which show obvious signs of non-compatibility as soon as we install them, and others which take a bit of testing. It’s a waste of time if I purchase the plugin and it’s 100% non-compatible.
If you are not a theme author, the only way to test WPML is to buy it keeping our refund policy in mind. It allows you to test WPML for 30 days without any risk. Please check details here: https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds-policy/
Hello, I guess I already answered your question (it was waiting for moderation). Let me summarize it once again. When you buy WPML you get the most recent version. Right now, the most recent WPML version is 3.7.1. If your WPML is active you have access to previous versions as well.

Hello, very interested in this plugin. How does the plugin handle permalinks? Will all site permalinks/URL structure remain the same on translated pages, or will the different language versions have unique URLs? Just wondering if we’ll need to set up subdomains or separate WordPress instances for any reason. Thank you!
Hi Adam,
you can use subdirectories for language versions or subdomains.
for subdirectories it will work like this:
yoursite.com
your.com/fr
your.com/es
see our wpml.org site as an example (scroll down the page to reach the footer)
Please note that these folders are “virtual”, you don’t need to create them (they won’t physically exist). WPML handles it.
Then, when you create a page/post in another langue, the page slug will be created the same way you would create any WordPress page/post, by default it will reflect your post/page title. I hope it helps.

My one-year CMS license expired two weeks ago. I want to buy a renewal for $ 39 but all I see in my admin dashboard is buy one year for $ 79.
Second question: is there a special offer if I want to upgrade to a lifelong subscribtion?
Thank you in advance
