What it does
Social networks built on BuddyPress or BuddyBoss have a lot of moving parts: member profiles, groups, activity feeds, notifications and content that members post themselves. General translation tools often handle regular pages and posts but miss these community components. This add-on connects the BuddyPress and BuddyBoss structure to WPML, so the pieces that make up a community site can be translated and shown in each language your network supports, including private groups and personal member settings.
Because it runs on top of WPML, you manage community translations with the same translation management system you use for the rest of your site, and content stays in sync across languages. The plugin also handles language switchers and URLs for community pages, so members can move between languages while browsing profiles and groups. It suits niche social networks, membership sites and online communities that want to serve members who speak different languages.
Best for
- BuddyPress community sites with international members
- BuddyBoss social networks offered in several languages
- Membership sites already translated with WPML
