Making Your WordPress Site Truly Multilingual: Why You Can Trust Us with WPML

In today’s global marketplace, having a website that speaks your customers’ language is no longer optional—it’s essential. But turning a WordPress site into a seamless, fully‑featured multilingual experience is more than just running an “auto‑translate” plug‑in. WPML is the gold‑standard WordPress multilingual framework, yet it comes with its own nuances, configurations, and potential pitfalls. Here’s why you want a seasoned WPML partner—and why we’re the team you can trust.

1. We Understand WPML’s Dual Engines: Content & Strings

• Translation Management vs. String Translation

  • Post/Page Content: WPML’s Translation Management dashboard handles posts, pages, custom post types (CPTs), WooCommerce products—letting you bulk‑queue, duplicate or send them off for professional translation (or copy for quick duplication).

  • Site Strings: Everything outside the post body—theme labels (“Read More”), widget titles, plugin UI text—lives in String Translation. We map each domain, export and import XLIFF, and ensure no button or copyright notice escapes your translators.

2. We Know How to Preserve Your Page‑Builder Layouts

• Shortcode‑Safe Translation
  Page‑builders like Avada’s Fusion Builder inject complex shortcodes and per‑page CSS/JS bundles. WPML’s default “Advanced Translation Editor” can strip or break those. We configure WPML to use the WordPress (system) editor for page translations, safeguarding every row, container and element—then regenerate dynamic CSS so your site looks pixel‑perfect in every language.

• Custom Post‑Type Control
  Avada and other themes register special CPTs (Layouts, Templates, Portfolios) that WPML sometimes locks down. We create the right wpml-config.xml overrides or PHP filters so you can decide which template types to translate—and which to leave in English—without hacking core files.

3. We Handle Language‑Switcher & Menu Sync

• Multi‑Menu Environments
  Under complex themes you may have separate header templates or menu assignments per page. We audit your Avada Layouts (or Elementor/Header Builder layouts), confirm conditional logic, and inject the WPML language switcher exactly where you want it—desktop nav, footer, off‑canvas menu, or widget.

• WP Menus Sync
  Whenever you add a new page, permalink or CPT entry, WPML’s “Menus Sync” keeps your translations in lockstep. We run that sync and clean up orphaned menu items so your switcher never shows a dead link.

4. We Automate Your Translation Workflow

• XLIFF Export/Import
  Need to send your strings or post content to professional translators? We’ll generate single or bulk XLIFF 1.2/2.0 files, package them neatly, and handle the import—ensuring 100% matches, context notes, and glossary consistency.

• Glossaries & Translation Memory
  We configure your WPML Translation Editor with term glossaries and translation‑memory shortcuts so recurring brand terms (product names, slogans) stay consistent across pages and projects.

5. We Troubleshoot the Tricky Stuff

• CSS/Font Inconsistencies
  As you’ve seen, a newly duplicated page won’t automatically load its Avada dynamic_.css or Google Fonts until CSS cache is cleared and the page’s layout is re‑assigned. We include that step in our standard WPML handoff checklist so your translated pages look identical to the originals.

• PHP Conflicts & 500 Errors
  We catch common pitfalls—misplaced wpml-config.xml syntax, hooks to override default behavior, and .htaccess or memory‑limit issues—before they become your headache.
