Overview
The WISDM Product Enquiry Pro plugin seamlessly integrates with WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin), enabling you to create and manage multilingual enquiry forms, quotation systems, mini-carts, and more.
This powerful combination allows you to provide a fully localized experience for your users, supporting multiple languages across your website’s enquiry and quotation features.
In this guide, we will explore how WISDM Product Enquiry Pro works with WPML, covering the setup process and showcasing real-world examples of how the plugin’s features can be translated into multiple languages.
1. Getting Started with WPML Compatibility
Before you begin translating the WISDM Product Enquiry Pro features, you must have both the WPML plugin and the WISDM Product Enquiry Pro plugin installed and activated on your website.
Step 1: Install WPML Plugin
To enable multilingual capabilities, install and configure WPML from the WordPress plugin repository or directly from WPML’s official website. WPML allows you to translate your website into as many languages as needed, including pages, posts, products, and plugin-specific content.
Step 2: Install WISDM Product Enquiry Pro
Once WPML is installed and set up, ensure you have the WISDM Product Enquiry Pro plugin installed and activated. With these two plugins in place, you’ll be able to create multilingual enquiry forms and manage other enquiry-related content in multiple languages.
2. Setting Up Multilingual Enquiry Forms
With WPML, you can create multiple versions of your enquiry forms tailored to different languages, making it easy for customers from different regions to interact with your forms in their native language.
How to Set Up Multilingual Enquiry Forms:
- Navigate to the Enquiry Forms: Go to WISDM Enquiry Pro → Forms in your WordPress dashboard.
- Create or Edit a Form: Either create a new enquiry form or edit an existing one.
- Translate the Form Fields: After setting up your form, click on the WPML translation options (usually represented by a “+” or “pencil” icon next to the form). This will allow you to translate form fields, labels, button texts, and other elements into the desired language.
- Select the Target Language: From the WPML language options, choose the language you want to translate the form into (e.g., Spanish, French, German, etc.).
- Translate Content: Translate the form fields and content. WPML ensures that all the text within the form is localized, including custom labels, instructions, and buttons.
3. Translating Enquiry Features
WPML allows you to translate not only the enquiry forms but also other elements of the WISDM Product Enquiry Pro plugin, such as:
- Mini-Cart: Translate the mini-cart buttons and labels, like “Add to Cart” and “View Cart”.
- Enquiry Cart: If you’re using the enquiry cart feature, it can be translated into multiple languages, ensuring a seamless experience for users.
- Quotation System: Any text related to quotations, including “Request a Quote,” “Submit Enquiry,” and other call-to-action buttons, can be translated.
- Enquiry Emails: WPML also supports the translation of enquiry-related email templates, allowing you to send localized emails based on the user’s language preference.
4. Example: Translated “Request a Quote” Button
One of the most important features for businesses running multilingual stores is providing localized calls to action, such as the “Request a Quote” button. Here’s an example of how the Request a Quote button can be translated using WPML:
Step-by-Step Example:
- Set Up the “Request a Quote” Button: On the WISDM Product Enquiry Pro settings, ensure the Request a Quote button is active on the shop page or product pages.
- Translate Button Text: Using WPML, you can easily translate the “Request a Quote” button text. In this case, if you’re targeting Spanish-speaking customers, you can change the button text to “Solicitar Cotización.”
- Check the Shop Page: After translating the button text, visit your shop page or product page to see the translation in action. The button will now display “Solicitar Cotización” for Spanish-speaking users, ensuring a seamless multilingual experience.
