How to set up WPML Plugin?

WPML is a plugin for WordPress that lets websites use more than one language. It has been installed on more than 1 million websites. This plugin can translate all parts of a website, like pages, posts, custom types, taxonomies, menus, and even theme text, into more than 40 languages. This includes pages, posts, custom types, taxonomies, menus, and even theme text. Depending on the user’s choice, translation can be done automatically or manually.

We’re proud that Traveler works well with WPML and doesn’t have any compatibility problems. This makes it easy to translate and localize your travel website.

Install WPML

Install the main component of WPML that includes: WPML Multilingual CMS, String Translation, Media Translation

Configure WPML first before you can start translating

Choose the language that you want to translate

Enter the site key for your website

Select between the automatic or manual translation of your content. We recommend you should choose the Translate Everything option for convenience.

Now, you will see the language switcher in the footer. Click Finish it.

Configure WPML

There are two methods to translate your website, which are:

Method 1: Automatically translate your whole site

Go to WPML > Settings, and choose to Translate Everything options to translate your entire website that includes posts, pages, taxonomy terms, and WooCommerce Products

WMPL will translate every new page or post when you publish them. It means your content always has up-to-date translation every time.

Method 2: Automatically translate your individual posts, pages, and other contents

Go to WPML > Settings, choose the Translate Some options to translate the individual posts or pages of your website.

Click the Translate Automatically at the top of page

General Settings

On the WPML> Settings, if you want to translate the content and title of service in Traveler, select the custom post to translate on Post Type Translation. There are 5 service posts to translate and save it.

Go to the WPML > Language, and select the Store a language cookie to support language filtering for AJAX. Because the Traveler theme uses AJAX operation in front-end, and WPML needs to filter your result. If this option is not enabled, WPML will not filter them correctly

Choose the content to translate

Adding page content to translate it

On the WPML > Translation Management, select the item to translate, for example, we choose the homepage. Click Translate Selected Content

Go to the WPML > Translation, and select the home page to translate to your languages.

Change the original language to other languages and click to Complete it

Finally, you will see the switcher language of this page in the footer

Adding post content to translate

Notice The feature of WPML is to translate your language to other languages. It only changes the title and content of your website. The value of a quantity, price, and availability can not be changed by WPML to avoid giving wrong search results. You need to translate all service information at the same time to make sure that your search results are correct. For example, if your hotel has 4 rooms, you have to translate both the information about hotel and room at the same time

Just follow the same steps above, and you can filter your post to translate it.

For example, we translate the content of this post and add it to the translation queue

WooCommerce Multilingual Plugin

If your website uses WPML plugin and WooCommerce for the checkout process, you should install WooCommerce Multilingual Plugin first and set it up on your website. Download WooCommerce Multilingual Plugin
