WordPress Multilingual Plugin

WPML application allows you to synchronize files for translation directly from your WordPress website to the Crowdin project and synchronize the translations back to your website.

WPML is a WordPress plugin that allows running multilingual websites with a single WordPress install

Setting up the WPML integration

To connect your Crowdin project and WPML, you need to create a token.

Open the Crowdin project you’re connecting > open the WMPL application > click New token > enter the token name and click Create. 

Copy your token and go to the Translation Services tab on the WPML plugin in WordPress > Translation Management > Translation Services > click Authenticate > paste your token in the API token field > click Submit to authenticate the connection with Crowdin.

To proceed with the file synchronization, ensure that the same languages are selected in the Crowdin project and the WPML plugin.

Once the translations are finished in Crowdin, they’re ready to be delivered to your WordPress website.

Each page from your website is uploaded to Crowdin as a separate file.

When existing pages are updated in WordPress, the WPML plugin uploads changes to Crowdin as new files.

To restore previously added translations, you can use the Pre-translation via TM.
