    Hi, I have several services on the site, and I want to use two languages on my site. When I installed WPML the services are only visible on one language, on the other language there are no services at all. I’m not sure what I’m missing in the configuration?

    Did you translate categories and the listings?
    Post your URL and WP admin details in a private reply if we need to have a look.

    I’m using one domain only, and the languages are in categories, for example http://mydomain.com/en and http://mydomain.com/no

    so if someone is on http://mydomain.com/en and creates a listing then I would like that listing to be visible on both http://mydomain.com/en and http://mydomain.com/no no matter which language the member wrote the listing in. But I still have to translate the listing otherwise it won’t show on http://mydomain.com/no ?

    What I basically would like to achieve with WPML+Geodirectory is to translate all “static” content, like menus, categories, etc, but the listings are written by members, and they can write the title and description for their listing in any language they like to. All listings should be possible to find in the categories regardless of which language the visitor uses.

    Hi,

    that is not possible. WPML will show only listings in the language selected.

    Thanks

    hmmm, then I don’t understand the usage of WPML + GeoDirectory, isn’t it better then just to run multisites instead of running a plugin?

    Would you know if there’s any way to have several languages but to show all listings?

    thanks

    It seems like this site is using WPML + GeoDirectory, if you look in this URL here you’ll find that the language is sv (swedish), but the listings aren’t just in the selected language, they are all over the world. If you choose english language and just press “search” button then you’ll find the exact same listings all over the world.

    This is 100% exactly what I’m trying to accomplish, but it’s not possible as native functions?

    What you want can be achieved with WPML. When a listing is added, in the admin, tell WPML to duplicate that listing for all languages. It will show on all languages pages, but will be in the original language of the post.

    The only site I can think of for the moment is this one:
    English: https://netbrasil.com.au/services/
    Portuguese: https://netbrasil.com.au/pt-br/services/

    And my WPML test site: wpml.goldroo.net/
