  1. Hi,

    Please see that we purchased the package of Multilingual Agency with this mail box: [edited]

    We didn’t receive any mail regarding the login details…
    Please check and mail me.

  2. I was wondering what the URL looks like when installing WPML in a multisite enviroment.
    Usally in a non multidomain enviroment it looks like:
    domain.tld/sitename/pagename

    With WPML would it now be
    domain.tld/lang/sitename/pagename
    oder
    domain.tld/sitename/lang/pagename

  3. Hello,

    I recently installed a WordPress site. My goal is to share general information and best lists etc. I’m not very familiar with WordPress or website work. My problem is this: I want to share both English and Turkish content on the site.

    I do not know how to set this location-based or user based. I want the users of the site from Turkey, Turkish, etc. that appear in the menu and only the Turkish article. If the user is from abroad, the site, menus, etc. in English.

    Is this possible? How can I do if possible? If not, what do you think I should do? Because I write both Turkish and English articles, I would like to make more use of both English and English. If you help me with this questions and give me some advice and tutorials about how can I do that via your app, I gladly purchase your application.

    • Hello,
      do you mean if you can translate your feature images and use a different one for each of your languages, with different captions and alt attributes? Yes, WPML can handle that.

    • Hello Matt,
      it depends on the theme you use and how your header and footer are built. If your theme is WPML compatible you should be able to translate every piece of your site, including stuff coming from header and footer.

    • Hello,
      thanks for your interest in WPML. No, we don’t have a trial option. But our refund policy allows you to test WPML for 30 days without any risk. It’s even better than a trial since during the probation period you can ask technical questions in our support forum.

  4. Hi.

    I´m interested on purchasing Multilingual CMS or Multilingual Agency, but from what i understand, the only difference between CMS and Agency is the number websites registered, 3 for CMS and unlimited for Agency.

    But using Multilingual CMS, i will only be able to register 3 websites (updates, support, etc), but i will be able to install and use WPML fully on unlimited websites but those extra websites will not be registered (updates or support), but all WPML functions will be available, correct?

    Best Regards,
    TA.

    • Yes, it will work exactly as you expect. The same applies to the case when your subscription expires. You can use WPML but without access to new versions and our support forum.

      • Thanks for the reply Agnes.

        In any time can i upgrade from CMS to Agency? The cost to upgrade will only be the difference between CMS and Agency?

        Best Regards.

        • Hi Tiago,
          Agnes has closed for the day. Yes, you can upgrade to Agency at any time for the difference only. You only need to log in to your account to do it.

          Kind regards

  5. How compatible is WPML with Ultimate Member? Will it allow me to offer translated field labels, default values and field contents?

    Thanks!

    • Hello Joe,
      Thanks for your interest. I am afraid we have started to work with Ulitimate Member plugin authors but they have stopped replying to us. I cannot say it will work 100%. Let me check with the tech team. I will contact you back via e-mail about this.

      Best,

  6. I have specific requirements, i want to use this with acf-to-rest-api with acf, each post should be able to have a different featured image also, all this is also running under custom post types, is this possible?

    • Generally speaking, if you can do it without WPML in one language you should be able to do it with WPML in several languages.
      As usual with REST API you may have to add some code for specific things (like exposing the CPT to rest)
      But if you are fluent with REST there should be no problem with WPML.
      If you run into anything we can help you in our support forum.

  7. Hi there,

    I have a question: I made a website with a theme I downloaded from themeforest. This one is compatible with WPML, so no problem. I made the website in English and with WordPress settings “Site Language” on English(UK). I did this because this theme (Soho hotel booking) came in this language. But now I want to make it multilingual with main language Dutch and as extra languages English, German, French. Finally my question: In which way should I install WPML? With site language still English, or adjust it to Dutch? Or should I just install it with English as main language and later on make Dutch as main language? Won’t I get this problem: http://www.mywebsite.nl is english now and http://www.mywebsite.nl/nl is dutch??
    Hope you understand what I mean 😛

    Another question:
    Can I also add extra languages llike a few months later? Like maybe Spanish, Chinese and Japanese? Or does this needs to be done when installing the plugin?

    Greetings Henk

    • Hello Henk,
      Your comment was awaiting moderation. You can install WPML at any step of the site development. YOu will be asked to select the source and the translated languages. When you do, select Dutch as the source and any other languages as the translation. If you need to add more languages you can do it later on, not a problem.

      Let me know of any further question.

      Best,

      • Hello Mercedes,

        I’m not sure if I made it clear in a good way.
        – I am from the Netherlands, so the main language needs to be Dutch.
        So the Dutch language needs to be on http://www.mywebsite.nl

        – But I bought an English Theme, and with this came widgets and stuff with text I couldn’t translate directly into Dutch. That’s why I first made the entire site in English.

        – If I do as you say, then I will have my Dutch pages in English first. I copied those “Dutch” (in English) pages to the English. And I would have to adjust these “Dutch” pages to Dutch.
        Is it still possible to adjust those english widget names to dutch with string translations?

        Greetings Henk

        • Hi Henk,
          Even if the site default language is Dutch, the default language for strings is still English (it can be adjusted if necessary). You will need to translate the strings from Dutch to English.

          Let me know of any further question.

      • I think what I really mean to say is:

        Will the original (here Dutch) also be editable for translating theme related parts (like widgets and booking tools)

  8. Hello, the website I’m currently working on is translated into both languages Polish and English with Polylang plugin. I found out today when working with event calendar plugin that I can’t create calendar in different language than English, so I googled and found out solution to migrate Polylang plugin to WPML (because WPML is compatible with The Event Calendar Pro). So everything looks cool I saw tutorial on youtube how to do migration, but I am little bit concerned that after migration the website data can be corrupted.

    Here is a link to the website http://www.czestochowa.company.

    If I will purchase plugin or get free license as a non profit organization I will get migration plugin from you? How does it work?

    Thanks a lot 🙂

    Could you please let me know if WPML offer free license for non profit organization ?

  9. A couple of followup questions from my original post. I tried replying but it didn’t work and it has been a coupe of days.

    1. What if I do not want my blog posts and pages translated – is this possible to leave theme Chinese?
    2. What if I do not want a page translated? Will it still show up in Chinese in the menu

    • Hello Marcelo,
      Thanks for your interest. I am afraid the lifetime subscription has been removed and we are not selling it anymore. You can see the current options here https://wpml.org/purchase/. We now offer yearly subscriptions with automatic renewals.

      Kind regards,

  10. Hi, I’m due to launch a website shortly (currently being finalised) and we’d like to have a translation into three languages – I have a few questions I’d like answering about the service please as I’m new to this:-

    – Can it translate into the three languages we want and is it the one overall cost?
    – Which package do you recommend for our site? – the multilingual cms?
    – Not quite sure how it all works -once we pay the fee to join is it all done – I have already linked WPML to my WordPress CMS. Is it all automatic once we’ve registered and paid the fee?
    – How long does it take to translate it?
    – Is the $79 an all in cost for the whole year?
    – Does it translate every page or just the static ones (ie if I update the blog does it do that?)
    – Will they understand technical industry terms/jargon and translate it properly?

    Many thanks.

    • Hello Jo,
      Thanks for your interest. WPML allows to translate the content of your site in different ways. You can activate our Advanced Translation Editor and use the machine translation at no further cost, you can use one of our integrated translation services at a separate cost, or add your own translations manually, More info here https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/
      The CMS version gives you access to all the modules (besides the core plugin), it will allow you to translate all parts of your site. The CMS version costs 79$ and has a renewal fee of 59$/year.

      let me know if you have any further question.

      Kind regards,

  12. Hi
    Are you going to support wonderful flatsome theme? I am reading hear a lot of flatsome problems, We have 2 ecommerce sites using flatsome , One of the myshopshop.com is going to be marketplace using WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace (WC Lovers), This is very importent to know before purchasing
    Thanks Benny

    • Hello Benjamin,
      you are right, the Flatsome theme is not compatible with WPML and our customer are reporting issues. Let me check with our Compatibility Team if we have some plans to make it fully compatible.

        • Hi Benjamin, hi again.
          I talked to our Compatibility Team and turns out that we’re working on making Flatsome theme compatible with WPML and many issues have been fixed already. Actually, there are a lot of people using Flatsome and WPML without problems.

          But our devs never heard about that plugin from WC Lovers so we know nothing about its compatibility with WPML.

          • Hi
            I am very happy to hear this, when do you think the work will end, I will wait patiently, prefer not to work on Beta versions, can I be notified by email? There is nothing to worry about WC Lovers plugin, it has been optimized 100% for our language, I am more interested in matching the Flatsome format. We like to purchase 2 licenses for 2 trading B2B & B2C sites I mentioned earlier.
            Thanks Benny

  13. Hi

    I was working as an contractor for digital agency which was creating website for client with use of WPML. I have found one issue with one of WPML modules and prepared fix for it. Where I can send information about this issue and prepared fix? I have searched on page but have no found correct place.

    Thank you
    Łukasz Piotr Łuczak

    • Thank you. I will send you my email and please send it to me and I will forward it to our lead developer. Thanks again for your contribution!

  14. Hi!
    Just confirming – if I buy the year package and choose not to renew after a year, can I continue using without updates and support? I am sure there are many advantages to the support and updates, but just want to know if it is possible to keep using.

    Thanks!
    Vanessa

    • Hello Vanessa,
      Yes, you can. You can still use the plugin that you have downloaded and/or installed even if your subscription expires. You will only lose access to new versions and our support forum.

    • Hello Riccardo,
      You will need to update WPML and access to our technical forum. For both things you will need an active subscription. Can you please contact the account owner about this so that they share the login with you?

      Kind regards,

  17. Hello guys i just want to ask about the prices are for 1 year or forever ??? i mean if a year goes down i will pay again or what ???

    • Hi,
      The subscription is for a year. You will need to renew it in order to access updates and support. If not, you can just keep using whatever you have installed.

      Kind regards,
