Unlike other multilingual plugins, WPML doesn\u2019t limit the number of languages you can translate to, and offers AI translation that\u2019s better than humans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting started with WPML is easy. Simply go to <a href=\"http:\/\/wpml.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WPML.org<\/a>, get a plan, and upload the WPML plugin to your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Once installed, register WPML in WPML \u2192 Activate &amp; Update and complete the setup wizard.

This includes pages, posts, custom posts, headers, footers, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To translate any content, go to WPML \u2192 Translations. From the Dashboard, select the content you want to translate, choose the target languages, and send it for translation. Or turn on Translate Everything Automatically to translate your whole site in the background; WPML shows the word count and cost before anything is translated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the best translation quality, we recommend automatically translating with <a href=\"https:\/\/ptc.wpml.org\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PTC (Private Translation Cloud)<\/a>, WPML\u2019s most accurate AI translator.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PTC is like your own team of expert translators with a deep understanding of your content and niche. It\u2019s WPML\u2019s proprietary AI technology, and even includes a translation quality guarantee: If you\u2019re not satisfied with PTC\u2019s translations, you\u2019ll get a full refund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Missing Translations for Some Texts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If some texts remain untranslated, like those in your footer or widgets, they are likely \u201cstrings\u201d \u2013 pieces of text that are outside of your typical content.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Translate Everything Automatically on, WPML picks up these texts as they appear on your site and translates them together with your content. To translate or edit a specific text yourself, go to WPML \u2192 Translations \u2192 Strings, search for it and add the translation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1305\" src=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-scaled.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-scaled.png 2560w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-1024x522.png 1024w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-768x392.png 768w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-1536x783.png 1536w, https:\/\/creativethemes.com\/blocksy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/wpml5-translations-screen-2048x1044.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Translating WooCommerce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WPML can translate your entire WooCommerce store.
