    Hi support team,

    I am using now WPML for multilingual approach and am in DE translation process.

    But for user approach with their listings to make them multilingual – how can a user add additional languages to his listing?

    I mean instead the site owner admin translate pages and data that the user itself translate or deliver translated data e.g. bi-lingual (his national language and for international english)

    How do you suggest to setup such an approach.

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi,

    There is no way to do that with WPML from the front end. They have to add the translation indipendently and the admin from the back end must associate the 2 posts as 1 the translation of the other.

    Thanks

    ok – but How and Where would you enable to connect the 2 postes together.

    Would it work like

    A. A listing customer would add his 1st listing in english (to pay for). Then he asks support for translation of his listing, submit his data in his own language to add a new listing from admin to connect to each other.
    Q. How would the 2nd listing been made and how this then would be connected?

    or

    B. A listing customer would add his 1st listing in english (to pay for). Then he add a 2nd. listing (also pay for) in different language and want to connect the engl. and his 2nd. language one.
    Q. How this would be connected?

    Regards, Alex

    User will add his listing in English and French for example.

    You from the back will open the English version and on the right column assign the french version as the translation of the English listings.

    Please refer to WPML documentation to see how 2 posts from different languages can be linked as translations of each other.

    Thanks

    BUT I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION NOW
    Q How can a user deliver or add his translation to be used and connected to each different language approach?

    Is the user requested for his different language approach
    A. to purchase and add a different listing in EN and DE site and then is requested to inform us to connect the different listings to each other
    or
    B. to provide us with his translations to be added and connected to his existing listing as different language approach.

    What will be your suggestion in how to establish that in an easy and proper way?

    Regards, Alex

    Hi Paolo,

    I would like to proceed further with variation A that a user is requested to add his listing in different language approach and need us to inform the link-URL to connect the different language listings to each other.

    But in backend, I am not able to see the matching posibility (screen shot – http://screencast.com/t/W43pHFhI)

    AND

    Please state how to translate the PostType Categories. I cannot find the instruction for this in your translation advice

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi,

    that is the option and it’s working on my demo site. If it’s not working for, please request help to WPML support.

    Translating Place (or any other CPT) categories with WPML is easy: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/translating-post-categories-and-custom-taxonomies/

    Let us know if that helped.

    Thanks
