Full of Bugs With not making sense automatic translation system **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Abdullah H. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 08, 2023 **What do you like best about WPML?** When I started using WPML in 2020 it was good and simple it was "just working" which was great, there was the ease of use and even chat support that agency customers could reach **What do you dislike about WPML?** Nowadays, i dislike everything in WPML: - Support is horrible 1- No chat support for agency customers like they used to be. They just ask for you to change the theme or upgrade the server. - Bugs: I have seen it all, from Russian translation on the Arabic pages to sudden category changes, to links pointing to the wrong language - Automatic translation: Don't get me started here, it's horrible, We send 10 posts for translation they get lost and stuck between wpml server and our server and we need to flush cache and refresh the translation process just to get the translation we paid for. The pricing system is insane, so you can prepay 40,000 credit for 50 dollars or you can just use Pay-as-you-go system and pay 25 dollars for the same 40K credit!! literally you pay more money to get prepaid credit! and it should be the opposite, if i pay a front payment, i should get a discount, not pay double! **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** Nothing really, WPML keep releasing updates but i never really felt any change same old bugs, and the auto-translation prepaid pricing is same absurd as before i jsut stopped using the auto-translate all over, although i was a heavy user. ### 7. Very popular but heavy **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2023 **What do you like best about WPML?** I think the module is good and very popular but it is heavy for the users. The good thing is that there is a lot of documentation and support. The 1 for 1 translation feature is also very useful. **What do you dislike about WPML?** This module is often in conflict with other modules. There is also a performance issue which prevents from getting a good grade on GT Metrix and Page Speed. The cost of licensing is also often an irritant **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making a unilingual website multilingual ### 8. Non-existent support, bugs **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alex J. | Head of Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2022 **What do you like best about WPML?** They are trying to add a lot of functionality **What do you dislike about WPML?** The plugin doesn't work properly and there is no support despite logging a ticket and this being a paid product. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** They are not solving any problems and are actually setting us back weeks of work. ### 9. Scamming people with automatic translation **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gerhard R. | Content Creator, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 01, 2021 **What do you like best about WPML?** All in all, WPML worked well for me for a few years. It does the job. There were some major technical problems all the time like media files duplicating and having unexplainable translation jobs in weird places but everything started going seriously bad when the automatic translation was introduced. **What do you dislike about WPML?** Automatic translation worked like a wonder when I first used it. The problem is that WPML is trying to scam its customers by overcharging them. The bills for the first month were fine. I paid 17 dollar and another 72 dollars. When the next month, it showed 72 dollars with 0 credits used, I got suspicious but didn't think anything bad. I set the limit from 500.000 to 100.000 credits, which would mean I am limited to consuming 17 dollars of credits. The system didn't respect my limit but went to 110.000 credits still showing 72 dollar but not allowing me to use any credits anymore. When I talked to support, they tried to blame me for spending 10.000 credits too many and told me, they will charge me for 500.000 credits at the beginning of next month. I tried to explain how their flawed system is overcharging me and they told me, their tech team will investigate. Now is the 1st of December, I used 0 credits, and my account shows I am due to pay 72 dollars at the beginning of January. Upon that, I immediately canceled my subscription to automatic translation but got an invoice of over 72 dollars for last month. Their tech team didn't investigate anything. I got scammed by WPML and wish there would be some way to change to another translation software. I am afraid there isn't. Think twice, if you are considering to use WPML, especially their automatic translation. **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** Stay away from their automatic translation, if you don't like to get scammed. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** Translating my website. It works most of the time. Except for when it doesn't and duplicates all the media files, creates really confusing translation queues or steals your money. ### 10. A good WordPress plugin for multi-languages websites **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Petar C. | IT Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 29, 2021 **What do you like best about WPML?** You can very easily create copies of pages, menus, URLs to another language. **What do you dislike about WPML?** It's not an automatic translation, you just create a copy and manually translate it. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** You can very quickly resolve a subsequent client request to make the site multilingual ### 11. WPML - Create a Multilingual Wordpress site with ease. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mário F. | Freelance Graphic & Web Designer, Design, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 04, 2020 **What do you like best about WPML?** First of all WPML is a very powerfull tool to create a multipligual Wordpress website. It's easy to install as any other plugin, and it's Panel Menu is easy to understand. It provides many options to create your multilingual wordpess site or blog, it's compatible with almost wordpress theme and provides compatibility with many other plugins like Woocommerce, Contact Form 7, Mailchimp and laso a very powerfull tool - WP All Import that allows to bulk import posts, pages, and WooCommerce products. I haven't tried this one yeat but it's goof to know you have such a powerfull tool available when needed. Inside WPML there are many other modules that enhance this product way beyond you would expect. I purchased the life-time license already built some sites with it and I believe i still don't know all the potential of the plugin. But even if you don't have a life-time license the available licenses are affordable even to a beginner wordpress user. **What do you dislike about WPML?** There can be specific strings you can take a little longer to find and translate. The language switcher could have more options or be more flexible in order to achieve certain looks. While overall is a great product, it has some aspects to it that have a steeper learnng curve I didn't found any serious problems, so I really don't have any dislikes regarding WPML since it does the job for me easily and efficiently. **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** There are various articles comparing the Wordpress translations plugins out there, but having experienced other two plugins I believe WPMLI believe it's still provides the best service. In the WPML website you should go to the Getting Started Guide. It is easy for anyone to follow with their first experience with the plugin. Very quickly you will learn how to translate: Taxonomies, Custom fields, Image texts, Menus, Widgets, URLs, E-Commerce Sites, Forms, etc... **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** Developing a multilingual site can be a challenge without a good translation tool, but since I got WPML whenever a client needs their website or blog to be multilingual it's the tool I go to whitout hesitation. I install the plugin in the client's website and keep designing and developing with no worries. If something new comes along I just dig a little in the plugin documentation or contact the plugin support to solve any specific issue. ### 12. One of the best Wordpress Multilanguage plugins **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Steven A. | Web Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** I tested all wordpress multilanguage plugins and its the only one for me that really works for long time Also compatible with the RTL language like hebrew or arabic language. I think that is the only one wordpress multilanguage plugin that fully translate a wordpress website. Others that only translate the content and not the system words or themes and plugins words. This make sense cause a website with a content in a language but the menu or buttons in another language not make it serious **What do you dislike about WPML?** Its difficult to config it there so many addons like four or five i think that you need to make it works. Also its a bit expensive **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** WPML is the best Wordpress Multilanguage Plugin that seriously make the job I tested many of them but always I was blocked in my workflow to make my wordpress website really fully translated with many differents languages also RTL languages. Another reason why I recommand it cause I proud of this company because its a israeli company like mine. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** When you config it in the good way and its finnaly works you can add simply how many languages you want quickly and switch one to another. My clients most of the time dont know which language to add to make more traffic to their website and when I told them its ok we can add or switch language easely then they can think more time and insert good content to their website. ### 13. Ideal if you're a Non-Profit (Free), worth it if commercial **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Erik W. | IT, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 31, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** While Polyglot and qTranslate are certainly viable, even good options, WPML is still the first choice when doing localization within WordPress. It is powerful, it is extensible, it is highly customizable. And if you're in education or NGO/non-profit, it is free. If you're a commercial user, you know you're getting the best solution, albeit at a price. In my projects I have actively switched from the free options to WPML because the level of support is noticeably higher and the overall robustness of the solution is more complete. **What do you dislike about WPML?** WPML is big, no doubt. Are you properly speccing your host or hosting environment for everything your website is doing and for the concurrent connections you will have? If there is one cost to having the best, it is also having the heaviest. That said, you can certainly mitigate this by being selective in your localizations and how you apply them with your theme of choice. **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** Do a thorough evaluation of what you need. Maybe the free options will work for you. But will they work for the next person administering your site? Will you get the support you need when you switch themes or do a redesign? Will you get the support you need when implementing multi-site? WPML gives you access to a higher level of support. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** WPML is the best-so-far solution for providing a multilingual website with the ability to easily switch between localizations and to stay within that localization as an end-user browses the site. ### 14. Excellent way to make a multilingual site. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pedro C. | Operador de planta de colada, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** This plugin make more easy my job when I have to do a multilingual site, because it is very complete. have everything that you need and you only have to set it as your need. I really like this plug,It is better than polygan, google translate and others so... I think it is the best in wordpress for multilingual site. **What do you dislike about WPML?** the only problem that I have is that I have to buy it and is very expensive, normally if you are a Freelancer (like me) you don´t have the money to buy it. Also, the install is VERY COMPLICATE so... I don´t like that but the rest of all, I think that is the best **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** This software let you do a better work, if you are a freelancer, you really like it. I can use it in my jobs but normally, I can´t. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** I would like to use it, I can´t because I don't have the money to buy it but in my experience seeing jobs with this plug I think that is really useful when you need to do a multilingual site so.. It is very recommend. ### 15. Customer Service Support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Fareez I. | UI/UX Designer, Financial Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** They are very patient with our though questions yet they tried to solve our technical problems as best as they could. There is no long delay to be taken for them to answer every question. We see they were trying to find what kind of root problem that caused and give us a best solutions we can implement. **What do you dislike about WPML?** We have to read all along about the technical and documentation parts of how to configure their product. At first it's very difficult but after sometimes you spend on it, you can understand how their product works on your business. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** WPML gives us more value in translating from native language to any languages required to our prospect customers. ### 16. the best option for translating wordpress sites **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ernesto S. | Unity 3d Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** One of the best plugins for helping you translate wordpress sites, it has awesome tools to auto translate, or you can manually translate the text if your site doesn't change constantly. **What do you dislike about WPML?** It can be frustrating to understand at first, and if you are not carefull you can delete translations quickly and you need to start over. **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** before aplying / change pages with translation check the documentation, you can loose stuff if you don't do it right **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** Translating wordpress sites to another language and having a language selector in the main menu. ### 17. Great tool for translation, but not for everyone **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2019 **What do you like best about WPML?** What I like best from WPML is the big amount of options and flexibility of tools in order to manage languages inside a website. You can go really deep in having control over translations and multilanguage control. **What do you dislike about WPML?** Maybe the most disappointing thing about WPML is how difficult it can become using some options. It can really become a headache if you can't control some options. Support is sometimes not as good or precise as you may need regarding the complexity of some features. **Recommendations to others considering WPML:** If you need a strong multilingual tool and can deal with complex setup, go ahead, cause is just the best tool out there. **What problems is WPML solving and how is that benefiting you?** I usually work with wordpress multilingual websites that require a tool to manage different languages and WPML is the most advanced and complete plugin available to solve any kind of issue related to multi language web sites. ### 18.
