  1. Hello,

    I would like to request a quote for further resale, as a company we are a reseller, specializing in the distribution of computer software. Therefore, we are looking for a quote for one of our clients (Kancelaria Sejmu) who has shared interest in:

    WPML Multilangual Agency – (Renewal) License End Date – December 31, 2025 x 1 pc.
    This is quite urgent as the deadline for sending over offers is 13.12 09:00CET, so if you could get back to us by then we would be grateful.

    • Hello,
      we don’t have any offer for reselling WPML (actually, reselling WPML is not allowed) but any of our client can become our affiliate. Regular affiliate commission is 20%, primate affiliate commission is 40%.

  2. Hello, I’m using The Events Calendar plugin on my website. I want to implement wpml for translating events into different languages. My default language will be Serbian, but I want to translate my Events also to English.

    I have questions about whether I need to buy Multilingual Blog or Multilingual CMS.
    Also, I want to create some events that will be exclusively on English, so only English version of the website will show this events. The same applies to Serbian exclusive languages.
    Also, The Events Calendar has the option of Subscribe to Calendar, which syncs all the events to you Google Calendar for example. If I were to implement WPML for translation, how would this impact Google Calendar sync? Will the Google Calendar contain Serbian and English Events separately or will they be on the same Calendar?

    • Hello,
      Thank you for your interest in WPML.
      WPML is compatible with the Events Calendar plugin but there are some known compatibility issues – you can check the list of issues at the bottom of this page: https://wpml.org/plugin/the-events-calendar/
      You need the Multilingual CMS to use WPML with the Events Calendar plugin.

      Also, I want to create some events that will be exclusively on English, so only English version of the website will show this events. The same applies to Serbian exclusive languages.

      Yes, this is possible. Simply don’t translate these events. This means that you cannot use the “Translate Everything Automatically” mode. You can still translate your pages and events automatically, even in a bulk way.
      WPML also allows you to create pages/events etc. in non-primary language and leaving them without translations too.

      WPML even allow you to provide completely diffrent content for languages.

      If you would like to provided diffrent content for diffrent languages there is a way to do but this has some implications:
      – you have to disable the WPML Translation editor for such pages
      – you cannot translate these pages automatically
      – you need to handle these pages separately for each language
      This page explains the details:
      https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/

      Will the Google Calendar contain Serbian and English Events separately or will they be on the same Calendar?

      I’m sorry but I don’t know the answer to this question. I haven’t found any information about the syntonisation feature in our documentation and in our support forum. If you want you can buy WPML and test it yourself. We have a 30-day refund period and you can use our support forum during that trial.

  3. Is it possible for me to have my website translated into 6-7 languages automatically, so that I don’t have to translate and add anything myself? And is it possible for me to add the languages to the header menu as a dropdown?

  4. Salve,
    vorrei lasciare il sito costruito con cms Prestashop.
    Il sito è multilingue e tutte le traduzioni sono state effettuate manualmente.
    Quindi, forse, non avrei bisogno del plugin WPML in quanto farei un copia incolla delle pagine del sito creato con prestashop sul nuovo sito WP al quale corrisponderà un dominio diverso.
    Vorrei conoscere il vostro parere.
    Grazie

    • Ciao,
      Sì, puoi conservare tutte le traduzioni effettuate con Prestrashop. Tuttavia, tieni presente che WordPress non offre funzionalità multilingue. Ciò significa che non puoi creare pagine in lingue diverse anche se hai già creato il contenuto o aggiungi un commutatore di lingua, ad esempio.
      Saluti

  5. Does WPML work with multisites? If so, what pricing package is required? I’ll be starting with 2-3 subsites, and want to add around 20 more subsites in the future. If I start with the Multilingual CMS, can I upgrade to Multilingual Agency at any time?

  6. If we purchase the Multilingual Blog plan now, but later decide to upgrade to the Multilingual CMS or Multilingual Agency plan, will we get a prorated rebate or discount for the difference in price, until the end of the year, at which point we could renew at the upgraded plan?

    • Hello,
      When you upgrade you pay only the difference between your initial package and the one you are upgrading to. You can upgrade at any time. You will find an option to do so in your WPML account.

  7. We currently have the Multilingual Agency plan but want to switch to Multilingual Blog.

    What is the procedure?

    P.D. To prevent the charges we deactivate auto-renew.

    • Hello John,
      I am afraid we don’t have downgrade plans. You need to wait until the expiry date and once the subscription has expired you will be able to log in to your account and purchase a new subscription for the full amount.
      Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Kind regards

  8. Hello,

    I’m a volunteer web developer for an organization, and we’re looking to add a multilingual plugin to our website.

    Do you offer any discounts for nonprofit organizations?

    Best regards,
    Thomas Billaud

    • Hello,
      we will check your case and if we will refund your the money if you were changed more than needed. I can see that indeed you have two renewal orders from December one from Dec 5, 2024 and another one from Dec 8, 2024. First, I need to ask our admins to check why it happened. I will get back to you soon with details.

  9. Hello.
    I have missed the question, but here goes.
    I’m working on a client site and was recomended you via DIVI Theme builder
    I was wondering, If I had 5 pages in say 1 lang, how does it work when I need it translated into 2 other languages? do I end up with 15 pages, 5 pages for each language or does I have 5 pages in 3 languages?

    • Hello,
      when WPML translates a page it creates a new WordPress for each language. If you translate 5 pages to 2 languages you will end up with 15 WordPress pages in total (5 existing ones, 5 new in lang A, 5 new in lang B). This approach to translating pages is good for SEO and recommended by Google standards. Each of these newly-created page will have it’s own URL. You can visit our showcase to see our clients’ sites.

  10. We have a request to add a few languages to the website based on location and language; we think a multi-language solution. Let me know please, if your solution covered all requirements below and if yes, how to configure it and how much will it cost?
    Requirement here:
    Duplicate the existing UK site (www.record360.com/uk) as a base for Spanish, German, and French versions.
    So we are only duplicating the “must-have” pages from the UK site.
    As for translation, our team will handle both the translations and uploading of the translated text into the new pages.
    I want to ensure search engines recognize the appropriate page based on region and language (e.g., Spanish-speaking users land on the Spanish site).
    This is mostly because forms must route leads to the correct Account Executives based on location/language.
    As mentioned, we implemented Hreflang codes to direct search results to the correct language pages, but the management solution might help with this. It’s important the US page doesn’t come up in UK, DE, ES or FR results.
    As discussed, using a multi-language management solution could simplify organization and improve SEO long-term. Please share recommendations for platforms, licensing costs, and implementation details.

    Region Language Redirected To Notes
    Americas (exclude Spanish speaking countries) Any http://www.record360.com Default global site for users outside South America.
    South America Spanish http://www.record360.com/es Spanish-speaking users in South America should go to the Spanish site.
    EMEA (excluding France and Germany) Any http://www.record360.com/uk Default UK site for EMEA users. A list of EMEA countries will be provided.
    Spain Any http://www.record360.com/uk Redirect to UK site as part of EMEA region.
    France French http://www.record360.com/fr Redirect to the French site for users in France.
    Germany German http://www.record360.com/de Redirect to the German site for users in Germany.

  11. Hello,

    Can you give me a cost estimate for translation: 500 000 words in 4 languages, which INCLUDES the cost of the plugin (that already comes with 90 000 credits)?
    The calculator gives me the cost without taking the 90 000 credits into account.
    Thank you in advance,

  12. Hello,
    I will need a translation into Filipino for our website.
    I dit not find it in the list of supported languages. What does this imply?
    Is there a way to include Filipino as one of the languages?

    Thank you,

    • Hello,
      you are right, Filipino is not supported. You can add Filipino as a custom language and translate it yourself (e.g. by copy-pasting the translations from external translation tools such as Google Translate).

  13. As I understand, the current setup only works with the browser’s language switcher.

    What we need is for the website to automatically redirect users based on their location. For example, if someone accesses the website from Venezuela, they should be redirected to the Spanish version of the page, regardless of the browser language being used. Is that correct?

    Is there no option to set up redirection by location?

    Additionally, we need to differentiate between the US and UK versions of the site as well.

    Could you please provide an update on this as soon as possible?

  14. Hello, I would need a prepayment link to be created on our company name for the multilingual agency version (199Euro), so I can send it to our accounting for payment. To go online and make an online purchase trough your site is not a possibility for us as all goes trough our finance department.
    Thank you for understanding

  15. Please let me know how to add google adds conversion id for different languages using seopress and wpml.Is this possible to add google add seperate ids.

  16. Good afternoon. I’m confused about this point https://prnt.sc/Q38MAU5Q7V2D for the basic tariff. Does this mean I won’t be able to create a menu in another language, for example? Will the default menu be used in all languages and I won’t be able to assign any translation to it at all?

  18. ı am interested in buying wordpress cms but i want to know do i have to pay 99 eur everyear to make plugin work or is this a one time payment only? so do I own the plugin or ı just rented for a year? thank you.

    ıf ı dont pay 99 eur next year all the translations will be gone?

    • Hello,
      Thank you for your interest in WPML.
      > do i have to pay 99 eur everyear to make plugin work
      No, renewals are optional. If you want to cancel your WPML subscription, this page explains how:
      https://wpml.org/purchase/wpml-renewal/#switch-to-manual
      > so do I own the plugin or ı just rented for a year? thank you.
      You can download the WPML plugins to your local drive and keep them for as long as you want but please note that without an active WPML subscription you won’t be able to register WPML for new sites. You can also use the WPML plugins that you already installed for as long as you want but if you cancel your WPML subscription you will now receive updates. But you won’t lose your translation and the plugin will still work (of course we cannot anticipate what will happen if you upgrade your WordPress and won’t upgrade WPML plugins).
      > ıf ı dont pay 99 eur next year all the translations will be gone?
      No, the translations are saved in your WordPress database and you can keep them even if you cancel your WPML renewals. As mentioned above, WPML plugins will also work in that case.
      This page explains the details:
      https://wpml.org/purchase/wpml-renewal/

  19. I have purchased WPML.. an email was sent with my credentials to login for the first time. But I keep getting an error that the user id or password is incorrect.

    • Hello,
      You requested a WPML refund on December 4, 2024 and your order was refunded.
      Now, your WPML subscription is cancelled.
      I’m not sure what is your current question. Could you please formulate your question again? What do you expect from us now? We will help but it’s not clear what is your current question. Thank you.

    • We discussed this in our Zoom call and we display the message for all refunded users. WPML will work but you see the message because you refunded your order.

    • I checked with our admins and the messages is displayed for all clients who requested a refund. We do this because we consider refunds are returning the product that you no longer want to use. The only way to get rid of this message is to purchase WPML again. If you don’t want to be charged for future years you can cancel your WPML subscription after purchasing (or switch to manual renewals).

  20. Pricing page states that I am buying the WPML, but on the order page it already appears that there will be a renewal payment in a year. Can you please clarify whether it is a lifetime purchase or a subscription?

  21. Hello, we are considering a large purchase for our website. Prior the purchase, we would like to clarify a couple of things:

    1. Can we get an offer tailored for our website in terms of the price and a number of words?
    3. How would a transition from Gtranslate to wpml look? In terms of technical part and SEO rankings part?
    4. We need the localized URLs structure to be: https://website.com/es/, do you support that?
    5. Do you offer an ability to exclude specific pages from auto-translations?
    6. Do you offer an ability to change the layout/add new blocks on auto-translated pages? For example on the original english page we have les blocks than on translated ones.

    • Hello,
      1. Please use this calculator to estimate how much you will pay for extra credits. When purchasing the Multilingual CMS package you will get 90 000 credits for free.
      3. WPML generates a new WordPress page with its own URL for each page you translate. This is very good for SEO and recommended by Google. Please check our showcase with our client’s site to see examples: https://wpml.org/showcase/
      4. Yes, we support this. If you add Spanish to your site when configuring WPML, the Spanish part of your site will be available with the URLs with the es prefix.
      5. Yes, please don’t select “Translate Everything Automatically” mode when setting up WPML. Select “Let me choose what to translate” instead and then manually select the pages you want to translate automatically from WPML > Translation Management screen. This way you have full control on what will be translated and what will not.
      6. This is possible but after applying this option you can no longer translate such pages automatically: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/
