Getting Started with WPML
To get started with WPML, you need a WPML plan. Once you have one, you can install the WPML plugin on your website and start setting your preferences using the simple setup wizard. Select which languages to translate into, how to format URLs in other languages, provide context about your website, and more.
Using the context that you provide, WPML’s most accurate AI translator – Private Translation Cloud (PTC) will create translations that perfectly fit your target audience and industry.
PTC is like your own team of expert translators with a deep understanding of your content and niche. It’s WPML’s proprietary AI technology, and even includes a translation quality guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with PTC’s translations, you’ll get a full refund.
Steps to Translate Elementor Content with WPML
- Leveraging the New Translation Management Dashboard
- Translate any element with WPML, go to WPML → Translation Management, and select the content you want to translate.
- To get the best translations, we recommend translating automatically with PTC.
- Review your translated content using WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor to review and refine translations. Prioritize important pages, like your homepage, for manual review. Once translations are complete, publish them instantly. Your multilingual website is now ready to engage a global audience.
- Once you’re satisfied with your new translations, you can instantly publish them to your website. To view them, simply go to the page you translated and switch languages.
WPML 4.7 Translation Queue
- The translation queue of WPML now centralizes all ongoing translating tasks, thereby simplifying the management and tracking of translations.
Tips for Troubleshooting
- Fixing Untranslated Texts
- If some texts aren’t translating, they are likely “strings” (e.g., widget titles or button labels). Go to WPML → Translation Management → Other texts (Strings) to find and translate them.
- Finding Missing Strings
- If you don’t see certain strings, visit the untranslated page in your secondary language. WPML will detect and add these strings automatically. For further help, check WPML’s guide on finding missing strings.
