  1. I am currently planning to use WPML on a multisite WordPress installation and have a few questions I would appreciate your help with:

    1. Multisite Licensing: How is the pricing structured if WPML is installed on a multisite setup with 5 separate sites? Does each site require a separate license or is there a multisite-specific plan?

    2. AI Translation Engine: Which version of ChatGPT (or other AI model) is currently used for WPML’s automatic translations?

    3. ACF PRO Integration: Will custom fields created with the ACF PRO plugin be translated automatically when using WPML’s AI translation?

    4. One Language as Source: Is it possible to use one primary language as the source and automatically translate all pages into two additional languages in bulk?

    5. Cost Estimation: Is there a way to estimate the cost of translating all existing pages before starting the translation process?

    Thank you in advance for your support. Looking forward to your response.

  2. Hello, we are a company based in China and are interested in purchasing the WPML plugin. However, we encounter an “invalid ZIP code” error during checkout when entering a valid Chinese postal code.
    Could you please advise on how to correctly input the postal code to proceed with the purchase?
    Thank you for your help.

  3. What FSE themes are recommended/compatible to use with WPML?
    Looking at your recommended themes page (https://wpml.org/theme/) I can’t tell if any are FSE.

    Can you suggest a few FSE themes? Is Spectra One supported?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    • Hello

      You might have to go into the detail description for each theme to see if it is FSE or not.

      Personally, I am not able to suggest FSE themes off the top of my head.

      From what I can see in the published documentation, Spectra One is indeed considered compatible:
      https://wpml.org/theme/spectra-one/

      Kind regards

  4. Hello, When purchasing WPML I got a message that I can invite the customer to take over renewals. Apparently the customer only had to pay €39 instead of €74 per year. Where can I find the link so my customer can pay it? Thank you in advance for your reply.

  5. we purchased WPML once and we refunded because of our website owner request. now based on his recent request we purchased WPML again. I want to know whether we can refund this new purchase again during first month in case we had to refund again based on change in website owner decision or not again.

    • Hello

      To my knowledge, each new purchase comes with it’s own 30day refund offer. E.g. the 30-day refund is “per purchase order”, not “per account”.

      I hope this answers your question.

  6. I am checking the plugin requirements and contacted my hosting provider to increase the memory to 256M. In WordPress Health checker the php_limits has changed, but WP_MEMORY_LIMIT doesn’t change and stays at 40M.

    These are the other two values I have now:
    PHP memory limit 256M
    WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 256M

    The Hosting provider responds that the server can handle the 256M memory requirement, but why the WordPress health checker value doesn’t change to 256M (they added this to config.php: define( ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘256M’ );).

    Should I investigate further or is it okay to have the WP_MEMORY_LIMIT at 40M ?

  7. Hello,
    Is there a lifetime license available for WPML? If so, what is the estimated price?

    Also, does WPML allow manual editing of page/post translations? And is it possible to edit the translated names of website menu items as well?

    Thank you.

  8. Hello. I’m using the free version.

    I run a multilingual online shop in three languages using WooCommerce and WPML. However, the Woo Bundled Products plugin does not function correctly in the two translated languages (it used to work fine before).

    Here is a summary of the issue:

    – When customers add a translated bundled product to the cart, the contents are displayed correctly.

    – However, when proceeding to checkout, the details of the bundled products disappear. The correct product appears briefly (for about 0.5–1 second), then reverts to displaying only the parent product (the bundle).

    – When customers try to return to the cart, an error occurs and the original cart settings are lost.

    – This issue occurs only in the translated languages (English and Japanese). The default language (e.g., French) works fine.

    – It may be related to child product synchronization or compatibility with Elementor templates.

    I’ve already contacted WooCommerce support, and they advised me to check with both WPML and Elementor.

    Do you know of any possible solutions?

    • Hello

      Please open a Support Ticket

      1. Log into your WPML account.
      2. Go to the Support Forum (Main Navigation > Ask a Support Question).
      3. Click Report a New Issue.
      4. Select I need help using WPML.
      5. Fill out the form.

      If a support agent is available for live chat when you submit your issue, you’ll be connected with a technical expert in real time.

  9. Dear team of WPML,

    A few days ago I recieved all the passwords to access to my new webpage made in Bethem, WordPress and WPML. This time, the anual service of WPML has been paid by the webmaster, I’m wondering if I can change the bank account or credit card now in order to have already automatized the next year payment from my bank account?

    Thanks

    Gerard Marqués

  10. Hi

    I must pay for our annual licence fee, however my company won’t allow payments via PayPal or Credit Card. Is it possible to pay you via BACS? Thank you.

  11. Thank you for your reply.
    I understand. I’ll ask my question through a ticket.
    However, how can I create an account?
    It seems I can only log in, and I’m having trouble with that.
    I look forward to your reply.

  12. Hi,

    We’re about to purchase the plugin and I had two questions:

    Is it possible to translate specific sections of the site? For example, we’d like to translate the service pages but exclude the blog. We previously used another plugin that automatically translated everything, and there was no way to prevent that.

    Is it possible to edit a translation? For instance, if we wanted to manually translate an important page into English or Portuguese, could we rewrite the default automatic translation?

    Thanks in advance!

  13. If for any reason we choose later on to cancel our subscription, will the site keep the already translated text or will it disappear with the subscription?

    Thank you

  14. My company has a survey that we send to many partners/clients that I’d like to have translation options for (specifically spanish at this time). No other pages need translation. In fact, I would like the ability to disable translation everywhere else on the site except on those specific pages.

    Each partner has a unique code as a parameter in the URL (/page/?client=10) and the content is 98% the same between the client-specific pages.

    Can the base page be translated (/page/) and will the translations trickle down to every client-specific page (/page/?client=10), or will each client page need to be translated individually?

    • Hello

      I’d like to have translation options for (specifically spanish at this time). No other pages need translation. In fact, I would like the ability to disable translation everywhere else on the site except on those specific pages.

      With the Translation Management Dashboard, you are able to select the site content that you want to translate. Please take a look here: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/#choose-what-to-translate

      Can the base page be translated (/page/) and will the translations trickle down to every client-specific page (/page/?client=10), or will each client page need to be translated individually?

      I’m not too clear what you mean about the base page “trickling down” to sub-pages. In WordPress all pages (parent or child) are separate post types with their own content and meta data. However, if you use a page-builder plugin like Elementor, WP Bakery, Divi Builder, …(there are really so many available now) then you could do the following approach.

      – Put all the “common” page content into a builder layout/template.
      – This common section is included in a client specific pages with a shortcode,
      – You would then translate the layout/template once with WPML.
      – The client specific part then gets translated separately with WPML (i.e. you don’t have to translate the common part over and over again)

      What the client sees is a page made up of a common “template/section” + “personalised section”.

      Each partner has a unique code as a parameter in the URL (/page/?client=10)

      Regardless of how you actually implement the page content for clients, if you already have setup a naming scheme that uses URL parameters, it is possible to preserve URL arguments when switching languages by specifying which arguments to retain in WPML’s language switcher options.
      More here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-switcher-options/preserve-url-arguments-when-switching-languages/

      I hope this addresses most of your questions.

  15. Hello there team.
    Do you offer a trial or demo for one of the paid versions?
    Also, do you offer discounts for non-profit organizations/websites?
    Thanks in advance.

  16. Hi Team,

    I’m interested in purchasing your plugin, but before proceeding, I have a few questions:

    1. My WordPress e-commerce site requires customizing the category and product pages. Does your plugin support custom code or provide hooks that can assist with this?

    2. I plan to translate my site and products into four languages, with approximately 500+ SKUs. Can your plugin handle this volume of data?

    3. I need to implement multiple currencies based on country/language, ensuring the currency changes throughout the checkout process. Does your plugin support setting prices per language/country, or does it rely on automatic currency conversion? Could you clarify how this works?

    I’m considering your $99 package. Will it cover all these features, or would I need any additional plugins or add-ons to achieve this?

    Thank you for your help!

  17. Hello WPML Support,

    Could you please send me a detailed guide on setting up and using AI-powered automatic page translation with WPML? I’m particularly interested in:

    Connecting and configuring AI engines (e.g., DeepL, Google Translate)

    Obtaining and entering API keys

    Automating the translation workflow for new or updated pages

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    • Hello Vitaly,

      AI-powered translation engines such as DeepL and Google are already integrated with WPML. They work out of the box once your site has the WPML plugin installed and translation credits assigned.

      To use these engines, you’ll need either the CMS or Agency type of WPML account, which also includes translation credits. There is no need to enter any API keys.

      Additionally, WPML offers its own AI-based translation engine (called WPML AI), which leverages technologies like ChatGPT and similar models. You can find a list of supported languages here:
      https://ate.wpml.org/mt_langs
      https://ate.wpml.org/wpml_ai

      Once WPML is set up and your languages are added, you can start translating your pages automatically—either individually or in bulk. For more information, please refer to this page:
      https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/

  18. Hello,

    I am unable to set up automatic translation of pages using WPML AI. When I select the necessary pages for translation, the translation process starts, but I only see the status “in progress” (screenshot: https://gyazo.com/9b17e6ab3d77e3cb1a1e5ddb57696c51). This status does not change over time, and the translation never completes.

    It is critically important for me to set up automatic translation. Please send me a detailed written or video instruction on how I can translate pages into other languages.

    If I am unable to resolve this issue, I will have to request a refund.

    Thank you for your assistance.

  19. I want to fully and permanently delete my account, but I can nowhere find the option to do so. I can’t open tickets because it says I need an active subscription and I can’t make forum posts either. I also don’t see a support mail somewhere. Bad stuff. Please cancel my account!!

    • Hello

      To cancel the subscription please go to your WPML account.
      You will see the subscription details on the left and the word Modify next to it. Click on it and you will find the option to cancel your subscription.

      If you no longer have access to your account panel, please contact the administrative team here:
      https://wpml.org/home/contact-us/contact-form/

      Thank you

  20. Hello, I have created a website for an association. This association works to protect vulnerable and homeless street animals and does not have a lot of money. They need translation services to reach more people through their website. Do you offer special discounts for non-profit organizations? Because they really don’t have the budget for this job.
