Translation services have an additional cost if I want to translate my entire site? or translation service is part of the Multilingual CMS version?
It’s an additional cost and each service has its own pricing, some examples:

https://gengo.com/pricing-languages/

If I purchase Multilingual Blog ( 1 site license), can this is installed in different folders on the same site? I have a website that has two languages, and each of the languages is created in different folders on the same site.
Hello,
yes, you can set up WPML to display languages in folders (please check our site, wpml.org) and yes, it will work for the Block package too but please note that these are not physical folders. Consider them virtual folders WPML creates on the fly. So you have only one WordPress installation and let WPML do the rest.
Agnes,
if I have two folders for the languages ( /en and /ar) on the same website, with two different wordpress installation on the same site, then will one licence still work?
Hello,
before I answer your question in terms of licenses and the number of sites…
Now, when you say this “I have two folders for the languages ( /en and /ar) on the same website, with two different wordpress installation on the same site”, I’m not sure if I understand your setup correctly and your goals. If you have two WordPress installations and you want to use each for a separate language and you want to connect them into one site using WPML, it won’t work like this. WPML is a plugin that makes *one* WordPress site multilingual. So you would need to move the content of your second WordPress installation to the first one after installing WPML.
Regarding licenses. The Multilingual Blog will allow you to register only one site (and use WPML for one WordPress installation).
Hi there.
I’d like your help with something. Here it goes. A developer I hired online built a WP multi language site, as I asked him to. Two languages to be exact. I see he did install and use WPML Multilingual CMS 4.2.5.
All works sort of fine, although very often I’m unable to edit pages because the page builder won’t open. It seems to be a problem related to the WPML plugin. I’m using XPro by ThemeCo as theme.
First question would be if you’re aware of any issues between WPML and XPro?
Second. I wasn’t provided with any key/license from this developer to use WPML. I see the plugin is not registered. What does this mean as far as functionality goes?
Thanks
Hello Giuseppe,
Are we talking about the Cornerstone page builder? We are compatible with it and we are compatible with the X theme as well. I’ll check with our compatibility team if we are also compatible with the Pro version and if there are any known issues.
Best would be to open a ticket in our support forum where our supporters could investigate your issue. You need to have an active WPML account to do so. You don’t need a key for WPML plugins to work but you would need one to be able to update WPML plugins to the recent versions and use our support forum.
Hi Agnes. Thanks for getting back to me.
Yes we are talking about the Cornerstone page builder, although in the XPro theme is called Pro page builder https://theme.co/pro/. And I’m not sure they’re built same way.
Please when you hear back about compatibility I’d be happy to know. Cause all my themes are currently Pro. And I want to be 100% sure before purchasing WPML.
Hello Giuseppe,
this is what our compatibility team says:
We’re compatible with PRO, but the clients have to use the language switcher provided by the theme developers to translate the pages because WPML translation editors don’t work fine with PRO theme and it’s going fine so far which means we’re not getting support tickets regarding this.
About your specific issue, they say that it seems to be very specific to your site and you would need to open a ticket in our support forum.
I hope it helps.
Does WPML is free for a nonprofit organization in the US?
Hello Jean,
I’m sorry but we don’t have any free accounts for nonprofit organizations.
Hi,
I would like to ask about the translations. Is it possible to edit some translation manually?
Hello,
Adding and editing translations manually it’s WPML’s default functionality.
If you are interested in machine translations, you can use our ATE editor and then, yes, you can also edit those machine translations manually.
Hello,
I’m looking to set up a E-Commerce site for a client (using WooCommerce) who offers products in both the UK and USA. Both the UK and USA sides of the company have different Stripe accounts.
Would Multilingual E-Commerce solution offer this as an option. Would this be the solution – https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/#payment-gateways-settings? Am I able to add in different Stripe publishable & Secret keys depending on the store the customer is buying from?
Many thanks
Hello, yes, you can add separate accounts depending on the currency.
Our support team can most probably help you set this up and if nothing works remember there is a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Hello! I baught WPML 5-7 years ago. Now I wanted to renew my license. And I got the message “Your WPML account has expired. To download WPML and get support, renew your account”. What the fuck? Why I cannot renew and have to buy again?
Hello Max,
“Why I cannot renew and have to buy again?”
By “renew” you mean to make your account active again and using the discount?
Your Multilingual CMS has expired in 2017 (renewing with the discount is possible only before your current subscription expires). You can still use the account you have and make it active again, by setting up a WPML subscription. Last year we have switched to subscriptions.
I hope it helps.
I would like to try WPML … Do you offer Free Trial?
Hello Luis,
the only way to test WPML is to buy it and use our refund policy in case of issues. It will allow you to test WPML for 30 days without any risk and you can aslo use our support forum during that trail.
Hi,
I am looking at building a ecommerce store for hong kong only through wordpress. I will be expanding it world wide and hence will need a multi language plugin. I just had a few questions beforehand;
1) Does WPML display manually and/or converted currency and allowing multi currency payment? for example, the prices may be listed as $8 US dollars but a user in hong kong will see it as either our preset HK dollar amount of the exchange rate equivalent and allow them to pay in hk dollar?
2) Does the WPML offer GEO location, where it can see the ip address of the user and pop up with a notification to change to their language and currency?
Many thanks in advance
Hello,
thanks for your interest in WPML.
1. Yes. You can read more about setting up currencies here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/multi-currency-support-woocommerce/
2. No, it doesn’t. You can only add a language and a currency switcher.
Hi, I ordered Wpml Multilingual CMS on 16/5/2019 – my order status is still pending. Can you advise when this might be processed?
Thanks, Ben
Hello Ben,
I see the order is pending payment, like you say. This means it cannot be reused and you should start the process all over again. Let me know if you want me to delete it from our system.
Kind regards,
