This guide is for WordPress Administrators to set up a multilingual website working with the Mindlink Production team.

Instructions

  1. Create an editor on your site: Mindlink Resources, projects@mindlinkresources.com

  2. Install/activate the following plugins to the site:

    1. WPML Multilingual CMS

    2. String Translation

    3. Translation Management

    4. Media Translation

  3. Mindlink will configure the plugins

How to translate pages, posts and custom posts

Go to the WPML → Translation Management page to send content for translation. The first time you visit the Translation Management, WPML will walk you through a quick setup wizard.

WPML is fully compatible with the new WordPress editor called Gutenberg. You can easily translate your content designed using Gutenberg.

 Go to the Translation Basket tab and click to send selected content for translation.

That’s it! When translators finish the job, it will be available in your site.

You can, at any time, check if there are finished translations and get them into your site. To do this, go to the WPML → Translation Management page and click the Check status and get translations button. You can learn more about this on our page about translation management.

Checkout the basket and the files will be sent to the Mindlink team for translation. We will create a quote and will translate the content/update the content, then perform a QA step.
