WPML String Translation Addon

WPML String Translation allows you to translate texts that are not in posts, pages, and taxonomy. This includes the site’s tagline, general texts in admin screens, widget titles, and many other texts.

Most sites contain many strings to translate. These strings come from the different themes and plugins on your site. To identify and select the specific strings you want to translate, you can use the dropdown menus at the top of the String Translation page. You can also search for the exact text you want to translate.

You can save your translation by hitting the enter or tab keys on your keyboard or simply clicking out of the window. The tab key allows you to switch between languages without having to click.

You can also select multiple strings for translation. Click the checkboxes next to strings and select the languages from the list. Then, click Translate and go to WPML → Translations to translate them using the Advanced Translation Editor.

With WPML, you can send strings to your translators. Click the checkboxes next to the strings you want to send for translation. Then, select the languages from the list and add the strings to the translation basket.

From WPML String Translation, you can also send strings for automatic translation. How you do this depends on your translation mode and the number of translators on your site.

When you no longer use a certain theme or a plugin you might wish to remove the strings associated with it. To do this, simply select the strings you want to remove and click Delete selected strings.

To delete all the untranslated strings belonging to a certain domain, scroll down to Remove strings by domain and click Remove strings. Select the domains of strings you don’t need anymore and click Remove. The untranslated strings in these domains will no longer appear on the String Translation screen.
