  1. Hello,

    I would like to build a multilingual website using your plugin,

    I would like to ask how i will be able to translate in the pro version the aria label of of woocommerce products. Depending the language to show appropriate aria labe. Is this possible using wpml?

    • Hello,
      I’m not sure if this is possible, probably not, we don’t have it covered anywhere in our documentation and I couldn’t find anything how you would translate aria-label attributes but let me double check with our developers. I’ll keep you posted.

    • Our devs say that usually we use these aria-labels in links (buttons etc) and they would like to know how you implemented this functionality for your WooCommerce products. We need a bit of context here to better understand your case. Thank you.

    • When you will reply to me explaining how you added aria-labels please let me know if you also used gettext functions. If you did, they will be recognized by WPML and you will be able to translate them.

  2. I have been trying to translate my food blog for a little while but i have a bit large of pages, post, media and forms. if i use wpml do i need to translate my website in one day or can i save it and translate when i have free time.

    thank you

    • Hello,
      by default, you provide your own translations. If you want to use machine translations, you can do so too and then, you can again edit these translations. Yes, WPML works with Elementor too.

  3. Hi, I got the info, that when my client renew his license with the link I will sent him i will have some credits on my account. He paid for a renewal and now I would like to buy another license. Do I have a discount?

    • Dariusz, you plan to buy WPML with another email address? No, we don’t have any special discounts. But maybe it’s better for you to use your existing account and transfer one of your sites to your client?

  4. Hello,

    if I purchase Multilangual Blog License is it possible to have a local development copy of the website under local domain? Multilangual Blog allow for 1 website registering.

    So I want to have:
    – mywebsite.com for which I purchased license and
    – mywebsite.localhost for development purposes

    • Yes, you can use WPML on both sites but you will be able to register only one. Registration is needed for updates. You can always unregister one of these sites (for the moment you need to perform the update) and register again.

  5. Buongiorno. ho acquistato nel 2016 un prodotto woocommerce per il mio sito http://www.vituliashop.com..ieri nello scaricare alcuni plugin il sito è improvvisamente scomparso. chiedo gentilmente come posso fare per rimuovere questi plugin e ripristinare il sito com’era..questo il messaggio di errore che appare: Errore fatale: Errore non rilevato: Classe “Twig_SimpleFunction” non trovata in / homepages / 38 / d618312345 / htdocs / clickandbuilds / WordPress / MyCMS2 / wp-content / plugins / wpml-translation-management / classes / translation-proxy / class-wpml-jobs- fetch-log-ui.php: 30 Stack trace: # 0 /homepages/38/d618312345/htdocs/clickandbuilds/WordPress/MyCMS2/wp-content/plugins/wpml-translation-management/menu/wpml-tm-menus.class .php (47): WPML_Jobs_Fetch_Log_UI -> __ costrutto (Object (WPML_Jobs_Fetch_Log_Settings), Object (WPML_WP_API)) # 1 / homepages / 38 / d618312345 / htdocs / clickandbuilds / WordPress / MyCMS-translation / plugins classes / class-wpml-translation-management.php (43): WPML_TM_Menus -> __ construct () # 2 / homepages / 38 / d618312345 / htdocs / clickandbuilds / WordPress / MyCMS2 / wp-content / plugins / wpml-translation-management / plugin.php (68): WPML_Translation_Management->__construct (Object (SitePress), Object (WPML_TM_Loader), Object (TranslationManagement), Object (WPML_TP_Translator)) # 3 / homepages / 38 / d618312345 / htdocs / clickandbuilds / WordPress / MyCMS2 / wp-i in/homepages/38/d618312345/htdocs/clickandbuilds/WordPress/MyCMS2/wp-content/plugins/wpml-translation-management/classes/translation-proxy/class-wpml-jobs-fetch-log-ui.php on line 30

    • Buongiorno, forniamo assistenza solo tramite il nostro forum. Se non riesci ad accedere al tuo sito WordPress, puoi usare ftp e cambiare il nome delle cartelle dei plugin WPML – WordPress disattiverà questi plugin. Ti consiglio di aprire un ticket sul nostro forum di supporto per ulteriore aiuto.

  6. So the plugin is usable without registration?

    Ie. if I make local copy of a website for development purposes mysite.localhost then I do not have to register that local url to use the plugin normally?

    Only when I need to update the plugin I can do that only for websites which are registered?

  7. Hello,

    I am glad to inform you, that there are many people out there who do not use PayPal and do not want to open account there just because to buy something from you.

    • Hello Marin, please choose “Use a different payment processor” on your checkout and you can use your card instead PayPal.

  8. Hi.

    I have a pre-sales question. In the header of the website we are building there is a heading called: WE RESEARCH: and after this there is a typewriter effect spelling out 3 different words, i.e. WE RESEARCH: DATA, PEOPLE and so on. So these 3 words are an animated function in the header. I have yet to find any wordpress translation plugin capable of translating these words since most plugins registers single letters and not animation. If WPML can do this, we will buy it right away but we need to know. Thank you in advance.

    Best regards
    Christian

    • Hello Christian,
      for now, we cannot give you yes/no answer. It depends on how the animated header is implemented: whether it’s an image, any other kind of media file, whether it’s part of a theme or a plugin (if so please provide us the plugin name) and how it is being added from within your WordPress panel and how these words are being entered.

      • Hi and thank you for your reply.

        It’s a theme named Brooklyn using Visual Composer. The effect is theme based and the code looks like this in the header:

        Vi undersöker varumärken., produkter., människor., UX., CX.

        Thank you in advance.

        Best regards
        Christian

        • Hi and thank you for your reply.

          It’s a theme named Brooklyn using Visual Composer. The effect is theme based and the code looks like this in the header:

          Vi undersöker (varumärken., produkter., människor., UX., CX.) “()” added so you can see the shortcode

          Thank you in advance.

          Best regards
          Christian

        • We are compatible with the Brooklyn theme. Christian, do you use the Visual Composer (which is a site builder) or just WPBAkery (a page builder). If you use Visual Composer please note that we are not compatible with it. But if you use WPBakery you should be able to translate everything you build with this builder.

          • Thank you.

            However I wasnt able to enter the short code or html code for the effect in my answer, it seems the code disappeared when I posted the reply.

            So I found out that it is indeed Brooklyn using a WPBAKERY builder and the module is called “custom text module”. Every other translate plugin is not able to translate this effect. But you confirm WPML can do this?

            • We are compatible with the WPBAKERY builder and WPML’s translation editor (called ATE) can handle all its modules and translate their contents. You should be able to achieve what you want. The only way to absolutely sure is to buy WPML and try it yourself with your exact setup. You will have 30 days to request a refund if it doesn’t work the way you are expecting. During that trial, you can also use our support forum to ask technical questions.

              So here’s what I’d do:
              1. Buy WPML (CMS package is needed in your case)
              2. Install WPML on a simple test site, where you use the module with content you find tricky
              3. Try to translate the page and see if you can translate the text module the way you need
              if you cannot, open a ticket on our forum for some advice
              if it turns out that impossible to achieve what you need, log into your WPML account and request a refund.
              https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds/
              you sure receive your money back within a few days

  9. Buenos días,

    Tenemos que realizar un sitio multilingüe y necesitamos la traducción automática. No obstante, tenemos algunas dudas en cuanto a los precios. Por ejemplo, si un mes utilizas los 500.000 créditos y el siguiente mes si no traduces ninguna palabra, ¿tienes que seguir pagando estos 500.000 créditos?

    Es decir, ¿las palabras traducidas automáticamente se pagan solo una vez traducidas o se pagan cada mes?

    También nos gustaría saber cuántas palabras hay en la web. Hemos utilizado diferentes plugins pero no nos dan un número correcto ya que exceden en límite.

    Muchas gracias,

  10. Hello. I’m intend to buy WPML Multilingual CMS for the business(EU) I work for and I’ll provide the VAT number of the company. My question is how much money will be withdrawn from my card – $79.00 or $79.00 + $15.80. Thank you.

  11. Hi,

    The woocommerce store will be guess checkout only and 2 languages and a lot of variations.

    1) Does the buyer language is saved within the order?

    2) If I edit an original string does it affected / reset the translated string?

    3) If the admin backend is set to french and we need to send an email to a buyer later lat say send an tracking number, how to make sure the buyer will received the email in appropriate language not the backend default language?

    4) can we translate attributes variations?

    Thanks

    • Hello Lena,

      I’ll try to answer your questions:
      1. Yes, you’ll have a parameter in the orders section which saves in which language the order was made.
      2. Yes, as every string is associated to its translations, once you modify the original, you would need to resave its translation although WPML String Translation will keep your previous value.
      3. Buyers should receive emails in the language of their order.
      4. Yes, you can translate attribute variations.

      Regards,
      Andrés

      • Hi,

        If I send subsequent email later let say a tracking number one hour later, will it be send it based on the order language, backend language or I will need to code it to use the order language?

        If I don’t need to code it, is this function is a WOO build in function or WPML function?

        In which table does the language order is saved.
        Note the client will not create an account, guess checkout only.

        About string modification
        If the main string get modified and I’m not saving the translation, will the old translation dispappear or still available on the website?

        Thanks

  12. Hello!

    I’d like to know the pricing to translate our already existing content. We have around 500.000 words written, and would like to know the cost to have it all translated with DeepL or Google.

    Also, our pages are built with Oxygen editor. I can see it is compatible but I have a few questions left:
    – Is it possible to create a page translation with different modules and content than the original?
    – If we would like to update some page content translations manually, how easy is that? Can we update it at once or do we have to update each string individually?
    – Is it possible to translate a string with a certain term and have this updated on the whole website?

    Thank you in advance,

  13. Hi, I wanted to ordre an upgrade to a CMS solution, but you have registered an order for a blog solution. How do I proceed.

  14. Hello,
    We intend to buy the WPML plugin but you have not displayed your company data anywhere on the site. In the order form we entered our VAT code, and even so the final price appears with VAT included. Is your company registered in the EU? According to the tax legislation in force, you should also have a Certificate of Residency Income Tax Assessment Act with all EU member states such as Facebook, Google, Envato, etc. Do you have this certificate for 2021 tax year?

  15. Hi

    We are planning on using WPML on a WordPress website (not WooCommerce) and want the multi-lingual versions to appear in the local search engines.

    So for example one version would be default in English for UK & rest of the world, then we would have another site version in French which would automatically show to users in France and another version in German which would automatically show to users in Germany.

    How do we achieve for the French & German language pages to show to the users automatically depending on their location please?

    Thank you

  16. Hello,

    My Website using paid membership pro and need to translate Membership levels and description of the user front end website using string translation between English and Arabic . What type of WPML I may need to translate that plugin?

    Thank you

  17. Hi,
    If our company would like to buy your plugin, it is possible to do so and get an invoice that our finance team can pay via wire transfer? I.e not pay upfront via credit card or PayPal?

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards,

  18. 1-Does this plugin affect performance of website?

    2-I already have a WordPress database with 80 MB size. Does this plugin double the size because of doubling the page amount. Or is there any option for to save any language to different databases?

    3- If I would not renew my licence can I prolong using existing version? If yes, is there any disadvantage?

    • Hello, thank you for your interest in WPML.
      1. Yes, it does but only a bit to load the bare minimum of what’s required for a website to run in multiple languages.
      2. Yes, WPML will increase the size of your database because when you translate a post or your page a separate version of this post is created and the translation is saved in your database. You cannot save your translations in different databases.
      3. You can cancel your WPML subscription anytime and keep the plugins. Your site will continue working but you won’t get updates and our support help.

  19. Hi there!
    What does “page builder support” mean in your version features? Does that mean if
    I have a website build with a page builder I need to purchase the “multilingual cms” license even if I only need the plugin for one website?
    Thanks for your reply!

    • Hello,
      Yes, if you want to use WPML with one of the popular page builders (ELementor, Divi, WPBAkery, etc.), you need the “Multilingual CMS” package even if you plan to use WPML only on one site. The reason why you need the Multilingual CMS package is that to translate content created with page builders you need a few more add-ons that are not included in the “Blog” package.

  20. Hi,

    I was wondering does this plugin allow me to edit any content that is written into my themes php files within the templates?

    And also is there a demo which I can use before I decide to purchase?
    thanks

    • Hi Dominic,
      WPML can’t do that. You can translate any string written in a PHP file but you can’t edit it.
      We also don’t have free trials of WPML. You can buy and try it for 30 days, if it doesn’t suit your needs we will refund you https://wpml.org/purchase/refunds/

      Kind regards,

  21. Hello, when I log into the WPML page I get:

    “There has been a critical error on this website. Learn more about debugging in WordPress.”

    I have tried in different browsers and the result is the same …. I cannot access my account

  22. Is there a free non-profit license or a plan to add that kind of licensing?
    I’ve been using WPML professionally before and am currently remaking the club’s website with WordPress and plan to make the website multilingual in the future and would love to use WPML there as well.
