Overview
Social networks built on BuddyPress or BuddyBoss often draw members from many countries, yet the interface and community content usually appear in one language. This plugin extends WPML so that the parts of a community that members see and use every day can be translated and managed in several languages.
It is built around how social communities are structured, including private groups and user-generated content. Administrators get translation workflows aimed at social network content, and WPML handles content across languages. The result suits niche networks, membership sites and online communities that want a consistent, native-language experience for each member.
Features
- BuddyPress and BuddyBoss translation: Translate member profiles, groups, activity streams and notifications so users on both BuddyPress and BuddyBoss sites see community content in their preferred language.
- Add-on for WPML: The plugin works with the WPML translation management system, which keeps content synchronized across the languages your community supports.
- User-generated content support: User posts, comments and custom fields inside BuddyPress and BuddyBoss can be translated and displayed correctly in each language.
- Multilingual navigation and URLs: Language switchers and URLs for community pages are managed for you, giving members clear navigation and multilingual links across the network.
- Private groups and member settings: Restricted content and personal user settings can be translated, so privacy and consistency carry over from one language to the next.
- Built for active communities: The plugin is designed to handle large, active communities while keeping user interactions working as expected.
- Workflows for administrators: Translation tools are tailored to social network content, which reduces the technical effort needed to manage a multilingual community.
- Indexing of translated content: Translated community content is indexed properly, so search engines can read the localized pages of your multilingual network.
Best for
- BuddyPress or BuddyBoss communities serving several languages
- Membership sites with member profiles and private groups
- Administrators already using WPML for translation
