  1. Hello,
    I have some pdf docs uploaded on website. If I use wpml can I update translated pdfs in other language page?
    Tnx

    • Hello,
      you would need to prepare different versions of these files, each per language.
      Now, there can be different ways how you show these files to your users on your site, depending on how your site is configured, whether you use page builders, the block editor or some plugins to present these files. If this is just an internal link to a pdf, yes, you can enter a different link in our translation editor. But if you use a special plugin to present these files, I would need more info to understand how it works and what you want to achieve.

  2. Hello,
    I am building a website in 2 languages. I’ve made double pages in wordpress (in serbian and english). Now can I use wpml to connect them and make english primary and serbian secondary? So basically I don’t need wpml to translate pages, just to connect already existing pages?
    Tnx

    • Hello Sonja,
      you cannot build a proper multilingual site by simply adding pages in different languages. It’s more than that. There needs to be proper info for search engine (like Google) that the site is multilingual and WPML add this automatically for you plus adds a language switcher to your site. So the proper way is to handle it is as follows:
      1. Have your site only in one language (primary language)
      2. Add WPML
      3. Add other languages via WPML
      4. Translate your site (using WPML)
      5. Add a language switcher to your site (using WPML)

  3. Hi,

    I am thinking to buy Multilingual CMS rather than Multilingual Blog.
    Problem is that 99USD is expensive for our country’s currency changes. 50 USD is affordable to me. Can you apply a discount pls?
    Thanks

    • Hello,
      we provide discounts only for non-profit organizations. Some of our affiliates might have some discounts but not more than 20%. I don’t know who exactly, you would need to look around. You can also start with the Multilingual Blog version and upgrade it later for the difference in the purchase price.

  4. Your payment process goes to PayPal and forces one to have an account or set up one. I do not wish to have a PayPal account; please advise on how I might purchase without having to set up an PayPal account.

    • You can pay via a credit card too. Please select “Use a different payment processor” on your checkout page (under the big orange button that says “Place order”)

  5. Hi,

    I’m already using WPML but the license is from an agency, I want to purchase my own license without losing all the translations I already have. Is that possible? Also, my website is in 5 languages, can I have that with the basic plan?

  6. Hi, i purchased the plugin today, but i’m not getting any activation email. Password recovery won’t work either. Help please !

    • Hello,
      everything is correct, your account has been set up correctly. Please try to reset your password via this link:
      https://wpml.org/account/lost-my-password/

      And also check your spam folder.
      If it doesn’t help it means that your emails might be blocked for some reason. In this case, I will contact you directly via email to help.

      Let me know how it goes.

  7. A. I would like to create an account, how do I do that.
    B. I would like to buy multilingual CMS but I can only do that with a PayPal account which I do not have. Do you have any other ways of payment?

    • Hello,
      A. When you buy WPML the account will be created for you automatically
      B. You can pay by credit card too. Please select “Use a different payment processor” on your checkout page (under the big orange button that says “Place order”)

    • You can pay via a credit card too – please select “Use a different payment processor” on your checkout page (you will see this opiotn under the big orange button that says “Place order”)

  8. We are having issue when we are chaning english to arabic languae through WMPL plugin.
    Some things are not changing when we change English to arabic.
    Can you assure us .. If we buy this plugins all content will be change in footer and header

    • Hello,
      WPML can translate the header and the footer as well but I would need to better understand how your footer is built (using the Elementor? coming from a theme? which one)?

  9. It does not seem clear whether your “Buy Now” prices are one-time only with free updates, or an annual subscription plan, as most of the other apps are. Please clarify or point me to where this information is located. Thanks.

    PS Your website seemed not to acknowledge this query, so I’m unsure whether it was sent.??

  11. Hi there!

    I’m looking to buy a package that already includes everything from WPML (including Buddypress Multilingual) and some other onTheGoSystems plugins (including Toolset Types). Is that possible?
    Also, if it is possible, what is the best price I can get for what I need?

    Best regards,
    Raúl Ribeiro

    • Hello Raúl,
      The most complete package is the CMS subscription, which includes all features and lets you register up to 3 sites.
      The Agency offers the same features and lets you register unlimited sites.
      Both plans also include the Types plugin.
      Note that if you need all plugins in the Toolset subscription, you will need a separate subscription to be purchased here https://toolset.com/buy/

      Best regards,

    • Hello, Romanian languages is included but not all translation engines are supported for now – DeepL is not:
      https://ate.wpml.org/mt_langs
      I’m not sure what you mean by “what percentage of translation does it offer”.
      You can use automatic translation for pages and posts, WooCommerce products and other post types.
      Some strings need to be translated manually (especially the ones that come from plugins, contact forms etc).

  12. I have a question on how credits are calculated. Is it every time someone comes to the site and chooses another language to see a page, that a translation credit is used or is it a 1 time translation credit fee for each page on the site that is translated?

    • Hi Beverly,
      It’s the second>
      a 1 time translation credit fee for each page on the site that is translated?

      Once you translate the content, it remains on your site, accesible to all visitors at no further cost.

      Kind regards,

  13. Hi,

    I am building a webshop that I want to spread over Europe. Am I right that I can only link the .de domain to the german language (without the .at and .ch).
    And can only connect the .co.uk OR the .eu to the English language and NOT both?
    Because I want to connect both of those languages to more than 1 domain. Is that possible?
    I don’t want WordPress multisite, with several domains connected to a language. I’d assume it is not that hard to fix.

    Best regards,
    Johan

  14. Hi,

    My renewal is coming up on May 2022. If I cancel subscription now, will I still be able to use the plugin? And after May 2022, will the plugin still works on my client’s site?

    Thank you

    • Hello,
      yes, you can continue using WPML plugins (the ones that are already installed) without an active subscription. You won’t receive updates though.

  15. Hi,
    I need to buy more than one Multilingual Blog licence. How to do it? I need just two, but I can’t find how to do it

  16. Good Afternoon, our company would like to get a quote/plan on adding a Spanish translation to our website. We also have internal PDFs where users can click on the link and it will open a PDF, but we don’t use any special plugin to upload those PDFs, will we need to do something different for PDFs? I was wondering what the best course of action would be. Maybe you can help guide us so we can better understand our options.
