Hi! Please inform. If having multilingual website and wpml plugin can the versions of my website differ from one language to another? For example I want english version of the website have another sections comparing to russian one etc. How do I manage this? I will appreciate if you can send me some screen shot examples for specific question.
1. My hosting has a lot of sites with WP and WPML, but the PHP version is 5.4 and MySQL version is 5.0.10. If I install the lastet version WPML. It works fine?
2. If I buy a Multilingual Blog, after can I update to Multilingual CMS if I need?
I do not understand is how this hosting provider that hosts many websites made with wordpress and assure me that many use WPML smoothly.
They tell me they will soon upgrade PHP 5.6, but MySQL does not comment anything.
As you might run WPML this Hosting with MySQL 5.0.10?
I can make the purchase WPML plugin and if it does not file a return?
Sorry to insist, but the situation in which I find myself, needs to be resolved with WPML or an alternative.
On my hosting I tell me that the versions of PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.0.10 will be updated in the future, but do not assure me when.
I need to install WPML, so (knowing that there are websites running on my hosting using the plugin) My idea is to buy the plugin and try to install it.
If the plugin works largely serve me until they update the hosting.
But the question is:
If when buying the plugin in its current version does not work at all on my server. Do I get my money by this issue?
Is it advisable to first try “multilingual blog” and if it works changed to “Multilingual CMS?
Thank you.
Hello,
is your site going to be multilingual? If so, yes, you can use WPML for translate your site, including the string coming from your theme and plugins. If not, you don’t need WPML to make some string coming from your theme/plugins appear in your language. Please google some tips and hints how to translate your theme: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-translate-a-wordpress-theme/
We have WooCommerce on a single language site currently and we want to make it compatible with Google shopping adverts worldwide, including translations and different currencies.
– with WooCommerce WPML is it possible for us to have two or more versions of the site which have the same language, but a different slug and different currency? We would ideally like site.com as UK, site.com/us as USA, site.com/ca as Canada etc etc. all with the same language but with different currencies. Is this possible to do?
– is there a way to have languages on sub domains instead of sub folders?
– we ideally need landing pages and product feeds for Google for each language, can this be done easily in WPML?
– can your system geolocate to the correct currency/language?
– can your system automatically remove or add the tax in WooCommerce based on location of customer?
Hi Aaron,
if your site is going to be multilingual, WPML is the right solution to go. If however, you are considering using WPML only for providing your products in different currencies, I would suggest to find a dedicated plugin for this specific purpose.
Yes, you use subdomain instead of folders.
Yes, once you translate your original landing page (by “Original” I mean the page in your primary language) to other languages and once you translate your products to other languages, this can be done in WPML.
Yes, this is relatively easy – translating post/pages/products with WPML is like creating the same post but in a new language.
No, no support for geolocation. But there is an option for detecting the user’s language based on the settings in her browser.
removing/adding the tax automatically – sorry, no such thing.
Hi,
My site is multilingual and currently using Polylang. My problem is, while a few general pages are translated into French, the bulk of the site is composed of custom posts from the LearnDash LMS plugin (courses, lessons, topics etc). These custom posts have English content that does not need to, and will not, be translated. The touble is, when a user switches to French using Polylang’s language switcher, they can’t see any of the courses, lessons and topics since these pages are not translated. Even if the user accesses a course or lesson page directly by entering its URL, the switcher will automatically switch the site language (and menus) back to English. In short, there is no way to display untranslated pages and posts when any language other than the default is chosen.
Would your “not translatable content” feature solve this problem ?
Is it available in the Multilingual Blog version ?
Thanks,
Yanis
Hey Yanis,
yes, WPML allows you to translate your custom posts as well. You will need the “Multilingual CMS” version. After the first year you will be able to upgrade to the Lifetime by paying the difference only.
That wasn’t my question, precisely the opposite. We DON’T want to translate the custom posts (courses, lessons, topics), just show them as-is no matter which language is currently selected.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can answer this question, I need an answer before I can buy : using WPML Multilingual Blog, is it or not possible to show untranslated (English language) custom posts even though the user has switched to a different language (e.g. FR or ES) in the website ?
Good Morning,
I ‘m thinking of buying the WPML but before I want to know if you have Catalan translator .
It is very important to me to have Catalan or it very easy to install later.
I would also like to know if it is compatible with the wordpress theme of my website .
Thank you!
We would be using WPML with WC vendors plugin and Buddy Boss Marketplace theme. buddypress would also be used in conjunction for forum and blogging purposes.
Is WPML compliant with WC Vendors and Buddy Boss Marketplace theme?
Hi Eduard,
WPML doesn’t translate your content automatically. It helps you make your WordPress site multilingual but you need to insert your tranlations yourself (or use one of the professional translation services integrated with WPML). WPML supports any language, here’s the default list: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/pre-configured-languages/ Catalan is there.
This plugin isn’t listed on our compatibility list:
ttps://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/
which means it wasn’t tested with WPML by our Compatibility team. So I cannot predict how these two will cooperate with each other. You can buy WPML and test it yourself. If they don’t work as expected, please use our refund policy: https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds-policy/
Hello,
I got WPML installed on my website a year ago so I could add a French translated version of my website.
The website is now in English and French.
Posts of this website are divided in 3 categories (and depending on the category some posts show up in different pages).
I would like posts to stay all in original language, and I would like to make them visible also in the French version.
Problem is :
– if I duplicate posts in French, comments do not show up in French version
– if I go wpml -> languages, Scroll down to “Blog posts to display” section, and I Enable “All posts” option, it still does not solve the issue because in the section where a specific category of posts should show up it shows me that I can select only categories that are translated in french…
I am sorry I am posting this here but I cannot log in on your forum. If you can please reply by email and let me know what should I do it would be great. Thanks in advance
Hi,
I am a web developer. I want to know basic different between multilingual CMS and multilingual life time CMS.
If i buy multilingual CMS now, can i use this plugin in next year for my other client. Though if i don’t renew my licence . I like to use this plugin for my other clients without renew licence!
Hi,
you buy one WPML subscription and you can use it for all your customers (doesn’t matter which type of license you purchase: Blog, CMS, Lifetime).
Renewing is not obligatory. If you don’t renew your “MUltilingual CMS” after the first year you will be able to use the WPML plugins you installed on your customers’ sites but you will lose access to our support help and future releases. After the first year you will also have the possibility to upgrade to the Lifetime version by paying the difference only.
I apply for purchase and have a payment by Visa. but I can’t receive the user or password by email. The page of computer is blank and I ‘m not sure for the procress because the page sho only https://0eaf.cardinalcommerce.com/EAFService/jsp/v1/redirect.
I found after that I gave a wrong email account. so kindly check and reply me urgent
Hello,
let me check with our admins if we are able to identify you in our system based on what we have.
If this turns out impossible, I will ask you to use this form https://wpml.org/home/contact-us/contact-form/
to share some additional data (such as your order number, full name).
hi
i’d like to inquire if your plug-in fully supports right to left languages such as Arabic.
If so, can i get more info and a couple of reference sites? and also any video tutorials for setting i tup to see how complex/simple it is before i purchase
thx
joe
I am about to launch a Russian Version of my site. The question I have is posts we make in Russian we do not wish to appear in English language area (as they are tailored for Russian viewers). I also do not want the Russian posts to appear in the news feeds or other social media plugins we rely on in English Language.
Please can you advise if this is possible, and direct me to the best purchase option for me, so I can complete this also.
What you are describing is the normal way WPML works. It will show only content in the current language and not mix languages. Your Russian pages will have Russian navigation, Russian content and Russian in texts that come from the theme. You will have a separate feed for each language, which contains only posts in that language. You can add that feed to the social media channel that you create for each language. We do the same for our site.
Sorry I have to ask this question. It’s just that I couldn’t find it anywhere. I would like to ask how many available languages are there that I can translate with this plugin please? is there a complete list of available languages somewhere for me to take a look at?
I need to translate my website to at least the following languages: Chinese (simplify and traditional), Vietnamese and Tibetan.
You can use any language with WPML. It comes pre-configured with around 40 languages, including Chinese and Vietnamese. You can add Tibetan yourself via WPML->Languages->Add languages.
Please note that WPML does not translate your content. It allows you to translate or send your content to translators.
When adding and new language, does the plugin automatically create necessary files e.g .mo .po files to the appropriate directories? All I have to do is go to the pages I want to translate and translate, is that right?
Can you please elaborate a bit more on sending content to the translator? What is the process, fees and costs, response turn around time and any other conditions?
WPML doesn’t need .mo files. It saves translations for strings in the database. WPML will read the .mo files created by themes and plugins, so that if there’s any translation, it’s used. However, to continue translating, you don’t need any new language files. All you need is to translate from inside WPML.
If you have your own translators, you don’t need to pay us to use them. With WPML, you can export XLIFF files and send to your translators (this is the file format that most translators prefer).
We are compiling a comparison table of cost and other features. This table will be ready very soon. Out of memory, prices for different translation services start at about 0.07 USD / word and go higher. This depends on language pairs, subject, speed and other things.
Iam interested to buy your plugin but i have couple of questions . First , WPML translation plugin its gonna be supported from my Templates that i bought from themeforest, or they should required certain things to be supported from your plugin ? The second question is , lets say i bought your plugin and i trasnlate 2-3 websites, if my subscription is end my translation websites that are using WPML plugin will no longer support translation on that certain websites? Or the websites i translated with WPML will continue provide translation even if my subscription is over .
1. We’ve tested WPML with hundreds of themes coming from Themeforest. You can search in our themes list and see if your theme appears: https://wpml.org/theme/
If a theme does not appear there, it doesn’t mean that it will not work with WPML. It means that we didn’t test it. If you don’t see your list these, you can suggest to the theme developer to apply to our Go Global program, so that we can test it together: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/
2. A valid subscription is required to get updates for WPML and ask questions in our support. If your subscription expires, your sites will continue to work as before, but you will not be able to download updates or get support. Please consider that if you don’t update a plugin for very long, eventually you will run into compatibility problems with new WordPress versions.
I need to be able to create language-specific content from my own Plugin. EG, my plugin receives a message from an external source, creates (via its own translation engine) an English, Spanish, and French version of the message, and places this content into WordPress (as a Page or Pages). WPML then renders the correct version of the Page to the visitor.
Is this possible? I could not figure out which API hooks I could use to create language-specific versions of the page content.
WPML saves translations in as normal ‘posts’ and then connects these posts together as ‘translations’. So, your plugin only needs to create posts with the translation.
Please note that this construct is necessary, not only to tell what language items have, but also how they connect to translations and what was the actual order of translations.
If you can create the posts and add the language information to them, it will appear as if you’ve translated from inside of WordPress.
i purchases http://angle.oxygenna.com theme and asked if they support arabic. they stated their them does not support right-to-left. if i purchase your plugin will my site with arabic ? i need a separate site for arabic and keep the english version so users can choose.
if your plugin won;t work with the theme, do you have any suggestions for me?
The theme needs to be translation-ready. In your case, you also need it to be RTL ready. This is something that WPML cannot resolve, because each theme has its own set of CSS (sometimes very complex) and only the theme author knows how to create the version for RTL.
You can suggest the author of your theme to read this. If you’re comfortable with CSS, you can add this too, but your edits may be lost on theme updates.
I believe it covers this perfectly…I just need to take a look at the Social Media Integration tools I have in WP, as it seems they feed out whenever a new post is made.
Thanks for your guidance I will proceed and purchase today.

Hey !
ould you tell me if you have installed the WPML Translation management add-on yet? Because once you do, if you go to WPML -> Translation Management-> access theMultilingual Content setup tab and make sure that Listing Categories are set to translate under Custom Taxonomies, they should be translatable right away:

Thanks for your fast reply.

Hello,

That wasn’t my question, precisely the opposite. We DON’T want to translate the custom posts (courses, lessons, topics), just show them as-is no matter which language is currently selected.
Also, not interested in Lifetime, only Blog.
For each post, page and custom post WPML provides two options:
– translate
– duplicate.
The latter means that a visitor will see the original post/page after switching the language. You can use that feature if this is ok for you.
Hi, I wonder if anyone can answer this question, I need an answer before I can buy : using WPML Multilingual Blog, is it or not possible to show untranslated (English language) custom posts even though the user has switched to a different language (e.g. FR or ES) in the website ?
Hey Yanis, I have just answered your question. You could use the “duplicate” option provided by WPML to handle such cases.

Hi Amir,
Thanks very much for getting back to my query.
When adding and new language, does the plugin automatically create necessary files e.g .mo .po files to the appropriate directories? All I have to do is go to the pages I want to translate and translate, is that right?
Can you please elaborate a bit more on sending content to the translator? What is the process, fees and costs, response turn around time and any other conditions?

In case you need help with the actual content translation, WPML works with a number of translation services. You can see the current list here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/content-translation/#partner-translation-services/
We are compiling a comparison table of cost and other features. This table will be ready very soon. Out of memory, prices for different translation services start at about 0.07 USD / word and go higher. This depends on language pairs, subject, speed and other things.

If a theme does not appear there, it doesn’t mean that it will not work with WPML. It means that we didn’t test it. If you don’t see your list these, you can suggest to the theme developer to apply to our Go Global program, so that we can test it together:
https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/
2. A valid subscription is required to get updates for WPML and ask questions in our support. If your subscription expires, your sites will continue to work as before, but you will not be able to download updates or get support. Please consider that if you don’t update a plugin for very long, eventually you will run into compatibility problems with new WordPress versions.
I need to be able to create language-specific content from my own Plugin. EG, my plugin receives a message from an external source, creates (via its own translation engine) an English, Spanish, and French version of the message, and places this content into WordPress (as a Page or Pages). WPML then renders the correct version of the Page to the visitor.
Is this possible? I could not figure out which API hooks I could use to create language-specific versions of the page content.
WPML saves translations in as normal ‘posts’ and then connects these posts together as ‘translations’. So, your plugin only needs to create posts with the translation.
This page explains how WPML saves the languages information:
https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-tables/
Please note that this construct is necessary, not only to tell what language items have, but also how they connect to translations and what was the actual order of translations.
If you can create the posts and add the language information to them, it will appear as if you’ve translated from inside of WordPress.

if your plugin won;t work with the theme, do you have any suggestions for me?
thanks for your advice

The theme needs to be translation-ready. In your case, you also need it to be RTL ready. This is something that WPML cannot resolve, because each theme has its own set of CSS (sometimes very complex) and only the theme author knows how to create the version for RTL.
We have a few articles on how to create RTL versions for themes. The most up-to-date is here:
https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/build-rtl-wordpress-themes/
You can suggest the author of your theme to read this. If you’re comfortable with CSS, you can add this too, but your edits may be lost on theme updates.
I believe it covers this perfectly…I just need to take a look at the Social Media Integration tools I have in WP, as it seems they feed out whenever a new post is made.
Thanks for your guidance I will proceed and purchase today.
I’d like to buy your plugin, but I have no credit card.
what should I do?
you accept the payment by bank? how?
Hello,
If you don’t have a credit card, you can use PayPal.
We support two payment methods:
1. Credit Card with 2Checkout secure card processing.
2. PayPal
If you are reluctant about using traditional credit cards when paying online, please consider creating a prepaid virtual card in your bank, just a suggestion.
Hello,
I am about to begin a project which involves me having to build a WP site in 3 languages.
1. Catalan
2. Spanish
3. English
I am using a premium theme for this build which says it supports WPML integration (Dante from Swiftideas).
My question is that do you offer any means of trying the product before purchase? I would like to see how it integrates with this theme.
I’d appreciate your feedback,
Regards,
Jack
Hi Jack,
the Dante theme is WPML compatible:
https://wpml.org/theme/dante/
We don’t have any trial versions of WPML but we have a refund policy that lets you test WPML for 30 days:
https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds-policy/
Hi Agnes,
Thank you for getting back to me so promptly. That sounds good. I looked at the link you provided above but the demo is broken.
Cheers,
Jack
I’m migrating a html website that uses this structure for languages.
http://www.website.com/portfolio/category/postname/EN
http://www.website.com/portfolio/category/postname/PT
http://www.website.com/page01/EN
http://www.website.com/page01/PT
Its possible to achieve that with WPML?
3 years ago when i used in one project I’ve remember that we had ?lang=EN at the end, or /en at the beginning.
Is there such option now, or any to achieve this permalink structue at the end of URL?
You can use language name added as a parameter (http://yoursite.com?lang=es – Spanish)
or
yoursite.com/es
or
es.yoursite.com
i bought this wpml and theme listable
http://themeforest.net/item/listable-a-friendly-directory-wordpress-theme/13398377
i can use wpml on pages(admin dash board)
but i can not use wpml on listings(admin dash board)
i sent email(support ticket) to listable theme support team
“i can use wpml on pages” but
“why i cannot use wpml on listings”
they said like this
Hey !
ould you tell me if you have installed the WPML Translation management add-on yet? Because once you do, if you go to WPML -> Translation Management-> access theMultilingual Content setup tab and make sure that Listing Categories are set to translate under Custom Taxonomies, they should be translatable right away:
