Directorist WPML Integration

A directory site holds a lot of content: listings, descriptions, custom fields, categories and search filters. Translating all of it by hand, or with tools that do not understand Directorist, is slow and easy to get wrong. This plugin links Directorist and WPML so those parts can be handled as translatable content, and visitors can browse and filter in their own language.

It also reaches into the interface text around the directory. Directory Builder labels, placeholders, validation messages and dialogs, shortcode text on pages such as Add Listing and All Listings, and Directorist settings screens are exposed through WPML packages. Completed builder translations sync back to the matching translated directory terms, so administrators keep one workflow for the whole site.

Features

• Listing translation: Translate directory listings, their descriptions and custom fields into other languages, so each visitor can read listing content in the language they prefer.
• Category and tag support: Categories, tags and attributes can be translated, which lets users browse and filter listings using terms in their own language.
• Multilingual search filters: Visitors can filter search results in their native language, so the search experience stays consistent across every language the directory offers.
• Built to work with WPML: The plugin is designed to sit alongside WPML and keep translated content synchronized, so multilingual management happens inside a setup administrators already know.
• Directory Builder translation: Builder labels, placeholders, sections, layouts, field options, validation messages, dialogs and controls are exposed in a directory-specific package in the WPML Translation Dashboard.
• Shortcode page text: Static Directorist shortcode text is included in the matching page translation job for pages like Search Home, Add Listing, All Listings, account, dashboard and checkout.
• Settings and admin menu labels: Directorist settings tabs, labels, descriptions, notices and admin menu labels are available for translation through WPML packages, with an admin-only submenu bridge that does not load on the frontend.
• Translation sync and refresh: Completed builder translations sync back to the translated directory term meta, and changes to source interface text mark existing translation jobs for refresh.

Best for

• Directorist sites that need several languages
• Local or niche directories serving international visitors
• Administrators and translators already working in WPML
