  1. I just bought a WPML License. I used the license for building a new website with the temporary name test.yolandejimenez.com. Now I am ready.
    I like to remove the old website http://www.yolandejimenez.com which has problems with the updates, before I change the test.yolandejimenez.com into http://www.yolandejimenez.com. Is that possible?

    I like to prefend that I tranfser problems of the old site due to the updates to my new website I just built. Can you give me instructions for that?

  4. Hello
    Just wondering is it mandatory to renew every year?
    if I don’t renew annually, will it mess up the content or what will happen after the licence expired?

    thank you

    • Hello, no, renewals are optional. If you don’t renew, you can still use WPML and your content won’t change, renewals are for updates and our support help.

  5. Hi,

    I am looking into buying your extension for WordPress. However, we have a custom template (built it ourselves). I was wondering whether WPML will also work in our situation?

    Thanks in advance,

    Best regards,

  6. Hello,
    could you explain me the pricing of your product – do I have to pay on yearly basis, or I can pay just once (for example 79 USD) and later on no fees will be applied? (I understand that no support would be possible then)

    • Hello Rytis,
      The renewal fee is required to keep updates and support. You can keep using whatever you have installed on your site if you don’t renew.

      Kind regards,

  7. I am thinking of switching to WPML but would like to know how much that would cost to get started. Do you have a plugin which would estimate the cost to translate the content (mostly posts) into 5 languages?
    Then after the initial translation, what would be the minimum yearly fee?

  8. Hello,

    I’ve already checked and saw that WPML is compatible with Newspaper theme but unfortunatelly i saw it’s not compatible with one major plugin I use: RankMath SEO.
    Before making the purchase, could you please tell me if my site will work correctly with WPML if RankMath is also installed?

    Best regards!

  10. I bought the plugin in its Multilingual CMS version last friday (29/05), unfortunately during the process of purchase I misstyped my email address and continue payment with my paypal account (registered with a -hotmail.com email). Payment was made succesfully but I never received information in order to download the plugin. Can you please verify if there was a problem during the process so we can continue with the purchase. Thanks for the help!

    • Hello Stella,
      I have fixed the address and sent a password reset link. Please make sure to check your spam folder and that your e-mail provider or server is not blocking our emails. Waiting for your confirmation.

  11. Hi There.

    I have a Multisite and I’m willing to use WPML for woocommerce on two of the sites, products are retrieved and updated from the main one to sync stocks, but translation I only want in two dependant sites.

    How can I manage to work with WPMLm should I install on every site and update products, only on dependant sites? do you have further information for me to make my mind clear and select your great plugin?

  12. Hi. Why did you remove from the list of languages – Kazakh? He was there and the flag is even there. But there is no standard choice of the Kazakh language. You have to add your own language and register kz_KZ there and load the flag. There is Uzbek and other, but no Kazakh.

    thank you

    • Hello,
      indeed I cannot see Kazakh on the list of our default languages. I will ask our development team if there was any specific reason to do so. But I’m happy you managed to find a workaround.

      • Thank. It used to be, then after one of the updates you removed the Kazakh, I think by chance. Perhaps with the next updates you will return). Write here as you know the answer.

        • Thanks for letting me know. I passed it over to our devs. Let’s see what they say… Will keep you posted.

    • Hello,
      it turns out that the Kazakh language was never on our list of default languages. We checked both in the code and on the archive versions of this page. Our lead developer says that what could happen in your case was that someone had added the language to your site when creating the site.

  13. Hi.
    I just purchased the wpml license. I have 2 problems unsolved…
    1. There is an image in the translated section that couldn’t be changed, as the original language is already showing the
    2. how do we change the translation for the slider section ?

    Please help me out. Thanks.

  14. Hi, can I still add/declare new websites with an “agency plan” after a year even if I do not renew ?

  15. Maybe I’m confusing, but I remember that I was on the general list. You even have the flag of Kazakhstan loaded with everyone. wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/res/flags/kz.png

    Well, do you include the Kazakh language in the general list of languages when installing the plugin?
    Please 🙂

    • I will share your note with our devs but to answer your question, no, this language is not included and you need to add it manually (takes a few clicks)

    • The icon in the folder you shared can be used by users to add languages without the need to find an image for a flag that matches the look of the other flags.

  16. Hey,

    I was planning on buying WPML in the name of my business and wanted to pay with my bank account of my business. However I am not able to pay with paypal and my linked bank account. It is only able to be paid with a credit card.

    How can I solve this?

    • You can use your credit card – you need to choose “Alternative payment processor ” on the checkout.

      • I do not want to pay with my credit card. I would like to either get an invoice I can simply transfer the money to a certain bank account or have you deducting the amount from my bank account.

  17. Hello,

    I searched for an answer everywhere but could not find any.

    I will need WPML to translate images links :

    In french it would be : photo-de-ville.jpg
    In english it woud be : picture-of-city.jpg

    Is it possible? How ?
    If so, can it be done without duplicating the original file? (only one file uploaded but with a translated link for each language)

    Thank you

  18. Hi, we will be buying this on behalf of a client, will it be possible to transfer over to them after purchase?

    • Hello Cole,
      Yes you can transfer the account by editing the personal and payment method details after the purchase completes.

      Kind regards,

  19. Hi,

    Wondering, whether it translated also from English to Armenian, since I have not found the languages it translates to anywhere.

    Also, how can I estimate how much will cost the whole website translation?
    and renewal after 1 year of subscription, what will that cost for first and upcoming years?

    Thanks

  20. Hi, I am trying to choose between various multi language plugin for wordpress. I just to enquire if:

    1- WPML supports translation from rtl (Right to left) because I am interested in Arabic , so when I translate does it put translation from right to left?

    2- and do I have control over typography of Arabic. I mean after translation, can I change font size, colour, bullets, justify , etc,,,

    3- Do you have virtual editor to translate on site?

    4- I have a managed WordPress site through godaddy, no cpanel. So does it work smoothly with godaddy smoothly and issue free?

    5- Do you currently have a special offer for one site and one translation?

    your answers will help me decide. Awaiting your reply. Thank you

    • Hello there,

      1. Yes, if your theme and plugins are RTL ready, WPML supports your RTL translations.
      2. If you want to modify your translations adjustments, you should use your WordPress editor instead of our Advanced or Classical Translation Editor, but yes, it is possible.
      3. We have two, our Advanced Translation Editor and our Classical Translation Editor.
      https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/
      4. Yes, WPML works fine with Godaddy. However, the higher your Goddaddy package is, the better your experience will be.
      5. We don’t have any special offer at this moment. We have a 30 days refund policy where you can use our full package and support.

      Regards,
      Andrés

  21. Hi

    I want to create an Arabic version of my website. If someone makes an order in the Arabic version will I receive the woocommerce order in my preferred language of English?

    • Hello Richard,

      When you use our WooCommerce Multilingual, every email will be send on the user language:
      – Costumer in Arabic will receive all the info in Arabic.
      – Admin will receive emails in his profile language, English in your case.

      I hope it answers your question.

      Regards,
      Andrés

  22. Hi WPML team:
    I am in the process of building a multi-language website for our company and trying to evaluate on multi-language plug-ins for WordPress. I am wondering if there is a demo/trail version WPML that I can download to run on our test site in our local network only for this evaluation purpose. I know there is the 30 day money back policy, however our company purchasing policy doesn’t allow me to do something like that. Is there any other alternative solutions? Thank you in advance.

    • Hello Michael,
      purchasing WPML with our 30-day money-back policy is the only way to test WPML in your local network. You can test WPML on one our Toolset demo sites (https://discover-wp.com/site-types/gyms-and-trainers/ you would need to click Create demo site and then choose “The site will be multilingual”) but you won’t be able to use your theme and plugins there and rely on what is already installed.

      • Hi Agnes:
        Got it, thank you.

        I have tried the demo site, however it doesn’t have elementor on it. I did find some documents supports that WPML can fully support Elementor, and eCommerce Catalog Plugin, just want to confirm with you if those are correct information.

        Also, do you have any sample document that I can use as prove of purchase from WPML? I need to double check with our accounting dept to see if they can accept that and how I can go about processing the purchase.

        Thank you.

  23. I am looking for a translation plugin for WordPress. So I have a few questions to ask. First, can I translate every sentence or string of my site manually? (some automatic translations are wrong) Second, can WPML translate an embedded form(not using contact form 7 or others form plugin) Third, can WPML translate the selector of the country on a payment form?

        • I’m sorry but these forms were never tested by our Compatibility Team. We test plugins and I cannot see anything related to activecampaign. If the forms are not compatible as a workaround you will need to create a few copies, each for each language.
