Description

The String Translation add-on translates interface text, widgets, theme options, plugin messages, and any string registered outside post and page content, capturing these strings in a single hub inside WPML. The extension displays the “WPML › String Translation” screen in the admin, where you filter by domain, context, or status and edit each item language by language without touching code.

Key Features

  • String translation hub
    Brings together theme, plugin, and widget text in a single WPML admin screen.
  • .po and .mo file scanning
    Imports strings from theme or plugin gettext catalogs in just a few clicks.
  • Automatic string capture
    Detects text passed through gettext functions and registers it for incremental translation.
  • Filter by context and domain
    Groups strings by origin (admin, widget, plugin) to find and review them faster.
  • Send to Translation Management
    Forwards batches of strings to local translators or services connected to WPML.

String Translation Benefits

  • A fully multilingual site
    Covers menus, labels, and buttons that fall outside the post and page editor.
  • Less reliance on a developer
    Editors adjust interface text without opening PHP files or catalogs.
  • Centralized maintenance
    Updating one string reflects everywhere it appears on the site.
  • Unified workflow with WPML
    Leverages the translators, roles, and reviews already set up in the base plugin.

Who Is It For?

  • Multilingual WordPress sites that need to translate interface text, not just content.
  • Agencies delivering projects with third-party themes and plugins in multiple languages.
  • Editorial teams adjusting labels, messages, and widgets without access to code.

The String Translation add-on completes WPML’s multilingual strategy by reaching the strings that usually escape editors: admin panel text, forms, widgets, error messages, and plugin labels. Ideal for projects where translation needs to be consistent across every corner of the interface, not just the main content of pages and posts.
