What it does
Running a directory in more than one language gets messy when listings, custom fields and form labels live in different places. This plugin brings Directorist content into the WPML translation workflow. Listings, descriptions and custom fields can be translated, along with categories, tags and attributes, so people can browse and filter results in the language they prefer. It requires Directorist and is built to work alongside WPML.
The plugin also covers the text that surrounds your listings. Directory Builder labels, placeholders, sections, field options and validation messages are grouped into directory-specific translation packages. Static text on pages such as Search Home, Add Listing, All Listings, account and dashboard is included in the matching page translation job. Completed translations sync back to the directory, and changes to source text mark existing jobs for refresh, which suits local business directories and international listing sites alike.
Best for
- Directorist sites serving visitors in several languages
- Local business directories in multilingual regions
- Agencies building international listing portals with WPML

Questions about Directorist WPML Integration
Do I need WPML and Directorist for this to work?
Yes. The plugin requires Directorist and is designed to connect it with WPML. It adds Directorist content and interface text to the WPML translation workflow, so both need to be part of your site.
Can I translate the forms and labels made in the Directory Builder?
Yes. Builder labels, placeholders, sections, layouts, field options, validation messages, dialogs and controls are grouped into a directory-specific translation package. Completed translations are synced back to the matching translated directory.
Will the text on pages like Add Listing and the user dashboard be translated?
Static Directorist text on pages such as Search Home, Add Listing, All Listings, Search Result, taxonomy, account, dashboard and checkout is included in the matching page translation job, so it can be translated with the rest of that page.
