This plugin make more easy my job when I have to do a multilingual site, because it is very complete. have everything that you need and you only have to set it as your need. I really like this plug,It is better than polygan, google translate and others so... I think it is the best in wordpress for multilingual site.
the only problem that I have is that I have to buy it and is very expensive, normally if you are a Freelancer (like me) you don´t have the money to buy it. Also, the install is VERY COMPLICATE so... I don´t like that but the rest of all, I think that is the best
I would like to use it, I can´t because I don't have the money to buy it but in my experience seeing jobs with this plug I think that is really useful when you need to do a multilingual site so.. It is very recommend.
You can very easily create copies of pages, menus, URLs to another language.
It's not an automatic translation, you just create a copy and manually translate it.
You can very quickly resolve a subsequent client request to make the site multilingual
Once we create the website ... The visitors o. Our website can easily translate any wordpress page or post according to their preferable language.. it is very user friendly
Free trail option is not available. But we get a 30 day refund policy. Where first we need to invest the money.
As we can create user friendly websites using WPML the visitors of the website been created will love it and so it will help me grow my business through the e-commerce website created by me.
While Polyglot and qTranslate are certainly viable, even good options, WPML is still the first choice when doing localization within WordPress. It is powerful, it is extensible, it is highly customizable. And if you're in education or NGO/non-profit, it is free. If you're a commercial user, you know you're getting the best solution, albeit at a price. In my projects I have actively switched from the free options to WPML because the level of support is noticeably higher and the overall robustness of the solution is more complete.
WPML is big, no doubt. Are you properly speccing your host or hosting environment for everything your website is doing and for the concurrent connections you will have? If there is one cost to having the best, it is also having the heaviest. That said, you can certainly mitigate this by being selective in your localizations and how you apply them with your theme of choice.
WPML is the best-so-far solution for providing a multilingual website with the ability to easily switch between localizations and to stay within that localization as an end-user browses the site.
Is easily one of the best wordpress plugins, has the best translation features including e-commerce, also offers a great translation management platform
So far I have not had any problem with this plugin, it works very well and also its price is very good compared to other similar
It has helped us to translate all the pages that we created automatically, in a very easy and fast way and it works correctly in the language we want
What I like best from WPML is the big amount of options and flexibility of tools in order to manage languages inside a website. You can go really deep in having control over translations and multilanguage control.
Maybe the most disappointing thing about WPML is how difficult it can become using some options. It can really become a headache if you can't control some options. Support is sometimes not as good or precise as you may need regarding the complexity of some features.
I usually work with wordpress multilingual websites that require a tool to manage different languages and WPML is the most advanced and complete plugin available to solve any kind of issue related to multi language web sites.
I think the module is good and very popular but it is heavy for the users. The good thing is that there is a lot of documentation and support. The 1 for 1 translation feature is also very useful.
This module is often in conflict with other modules. There is also a performance issue which prevents from getting a good grade on GT Metrix and Page Speed. The cost of licensing is also often an irritant
Making a unilingual website multilingual
I tested all wordpress multilanguage plugins and its the only one for me that really works for long time Also compatible with the RTL language like hebrew or arabic language. I think that is the only one wordpress multilanguage plugin that fully translate a wordpress website. Others that only translate the content and not the system words or themes and plugins words. This make sense cause a website with a content in a language but the menu or buttons in another language not make it serious
Its difficult to config it there so many addons like four or five i think that you need to make it works. Also its a bit expensive
When you config it in the good way and its finnaly works you can add simply how many languages you want quickly and switch one to another. My clients most of the time dont know which language to add to make more traffic to their website and when I told them its ok we can add or switch language easely then they can think more time and insert good content to their website.
When I started using WPML in 2020 it was good and simple it was "just working" which was great, there was the ease of use and even chat support that agency customers could reach
Nowadays, i dislike everything in WPML: - Support is horrible 1- No chat support for agency customers like they used to be. They just ask for you to change the theme or upgrade the server. - Bugs: I have seen it all, from Russian translation on the Arabic pages to sudden category changes, to links pointing to the wrong language - Automatic translation: Don't get me started here, it's horrible, We send 10 posts for translation they get lost and stuck between wpml server and our server and we need to flush cache and refresh the translation process just to get the translation we paid for. The pricing system is insane, so you can prepay 40,000 credit for 50 dollars or you can just use Pay-as-you-go system and pay 25 dollars for the same 40K credit!! literally you pay more money to get prepaid credit! and it should be the opposite, if i pay a front payment, i should get a discount, not pay double!
Nothing really, WPML keep releasing updates but i never really felt any change same old bugs, and the auto-translation prepaid pricing is same absurd as before i jsut stopped using the auto-translate all over, although i was a heavy user.
They are trying to add a lot of functionality
The plugin doesn't work properly and there is no support despite logging a ticket and this being a paid product.
They are not solving any problems and are actually setting us back weeks of work.
