Translation with WPML

General setup #

Since XStore is WPML compatible theme, you can translate a template to a language of your choice. You will need to purchase a recent version of  WPML, including the String Translation module.

Follow the  Getting Started Guide after installing the core WPML plugins.

During the configuration process, the setup wizard allows you to choose between the  Translate Everything Automatically or Translate What You Choose mode. So, you can choose either to translate your entire site automatically or have more control over what, when, and how you translate the site content.

From the Translation Management Dashboard, it is now possible to send posts, pages, and custom post types for automatic translation in bulk. Users who select the Translate What You Choose mode can simply go to the Translation Management Dashboard and select if they want to translate multiple posts and pages automatically. This makes the process quicker, and eliminates the need to open each post or page in the Advanced Translation Editor. Of course, users can still choose to translate by themselves, or with the help of a translator/professional translation service.
