EmbedPress & WPML Partnership: Making EmbedPress More Flexible
Here at EmbedPress, we are constantly trying to expand our horizons, improve and ensure you the best user experiences. And so, with our latest update, we have partnered with WPML to make this all-in-one embedding solution more flexible for our non-English native users as well as anyone who wants to create a multilingual website.
EmbedPress is now 100% compatible with WPML and certified to help you easily translate the plugin interface in any language you want with just a few simple steps and boost your efficiency. You can easily translate strings from the interface into one or more dialects at once, and also switch back into English whenever you need.
If English is not your native language, it can be frustrating to have to Google the translation of strings on your favorite plugin to understand what each feature stands for. And therefore, having the user interface of EmbedPress translated into your own native or preferred language will significantly result in a much better user experience.
Before we dive further into how to translate EmbedPress into your preferred language, let’s take a quick look at WPML, an essential tool to run multilingual websites.
WPML: Best Multilingual Tool For WordPress Websites
WordPress is available to its users in many different languages and can be easily translated to your native dialect without any hassle. However, it does not offer you the flexibility to create a multilingual site; without the use of external plugins.
WPML, on the other hand, is one of the most popular Multilingual Translation Plugins to help you create a functional and fully responsive, multilingual website on WordPress. With it, you will get a powerful translation management system to help you translate any content, theme, plugin, and more. WPML supports all types of posts, custom fields, and strings generated by your WordPress themes and plugins.
This is where this amazing partnership works, as the embedding solution EmbedPress is now 100% compatible with WPML to translate each and every string of its user interface.
Translating EmbedPress With WPML: A Step-By-Step Guide
Translating EmbedPress with the help of WPML is easy and does not require you to break a sweat. All you need to do is follow the simple guide we have outlined below and your user interface will be fully translated in a few clicks.
🎯 Step 1: The First Step Is To Install The Required Plugins
Before you can translate EmbedPress, you need to make sure you have installed & activated the WPML Multilingual CMS and WPML String Translation plugins onto your WordPress website.
You must configure the plugins after installation and select any or all of your preferred languages. To have a better understanding of how to activate the configurations of WPML plugins, check out this WPML documentation.
🎯 Step 2: Configure Themes & Plugins Localization Settings
Once you have installed the WPML plugins, you will need to configure their settings. Therefore, go to ‘WPML’ → ‘Setup’ from the dashboard and select the current language and the language you want to translate your single docs. You can change it later anytime.
In the following ‘URL Format’ stage, select how you would like to format the URL. You can go for different languages in directories, a different domain per language or a language name added as a parameter.
Next, add your site key in the designated field from the ‘Register WPML’ step of the WPML Setup wizard.
Next, navigate to the AI Translations section. In this panel, you can define the context and target audience for your translation settings. Begin by entering the name of your product, service, or website. Then provide a brief description of the website. Finally, choose the Target Audience you want the translations to be tailored for.
In addition to AI translation, you can also opt for Human Translation. From this section, simply choose how you want to configure your human translation settings and proceed with the setup.
To receive faster support and compatibility notifications, you can enable the option to share theme and plugin information when needed.
In the last two onboarding steps, the WPML plugin will be ready for use on your WordPress website.
Now, to enable translation for your Elementor site pages, go to ‘WPML’ → ‘Translation Dashboard’ and from there select the page you want to translate.
Now, click on ‘Translate Your Content’ and from there, ‘ Apply to All Languages’ dropdown select ‘Translate Automatically’. Afterward, from the ‘What would you like to do when WPML finishes translating your content automatically?’ select your preferred option and then click on the ‘Translate’ button and WPML will translate documents automatically.
🎯 Step 3: Translate EmbedPress Strings Using WPML
If you want to translate your EmbedPress plugin strings, you need to navigate to ‘WPML’ → ‘Theme and plugins localization’ from your WordPress dashboard.
Then scroll down to the ‘Strings in plugin’ section and click on the checkboxes for ‘EmbedPress’. Please wait while plugin strings are being scanned.
Afterwards, head over to WPML→ String Translation. From here, you can add translations for selected strings by clicking on the ‘+’ icon as shown below.
🎯 Step 4: Translate EmbedPress User Interface
Finally, go over to your EmbedPress interface and navigate to the section with the translated string. You will notice a WPML language selector button on your WordPress website admin panel. Click on this button and select the language of your choice, as shown below for the ‘Embed iFrame Height’ string.
