WPML Pro Tips and Shortcuts
After two years using WPML, here are my best tips.
Phím tắt
| Hoạt động | Phím tắt |
|---|---|
| Save the current translation | Ctrl + S |
| Jump to the next segment | Tab |
| Mark segment complete | Ctrl + Enter |
| Copy original into the field | Ctrl + Shift + C |
Những tính năng ẩn mà hầu hết mọi người bỏ lỡ
- Nhập khẩu hàng loạt: WP All Import, the import plugin most teams already own, can batch-import multilingual content straight into WPML.
- Slug translation: Translate URL slugs so links stay user friendly for visitors in different languages.
- Translation service handoff: Send jobs to professional translators from the same dashboard you use for AI translation.
- Admin language: WPML lets you set the default admin language separately, so your team works in one language while the site runs in many.
Here’s what those advanced features unlock:
WPML Common Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Changing the URL format after launch
❌ Sai: Starting with subdomains, then switching to language directories once traffic arrives.
✅ Bên phải: Choose language directories on day one. Consistency in URL structure protects your multilingual SEO.
Mistake #2: Publishing raw automatic translation
❌ Sai: Sending every page through automatic translation and publishing without a single read.
✅ Bên phải: Review money pages before you publish. WPML holds translations in the queue until you approve them.
Mistake #3: Ignoring themes and plugins
❌ Sai: Translating posts only, then wondering why buttons and the footer stay in English.
✅ Bên phải: Run String Translation across your WordPress theme and other plugins to catch every hardcoded string.
WPML Troubleshooting
Problem: The language switcher does not display
Gây ra: The switcher is assigned to a menu or widget area your WordPress theme does not render.
Sửa chữa: Open WPML then Languages and enable the footer switcher. WPML shows a default switcher in the footer for translated pages.
Problem: Translated pages return a 404
Gây ra: Permalinks were not refreshed after adding additional languages.
Sửa chữa: Go to Settings then Permalinks and click save. Then re-check one translated link.
Problem: Custom post types will not translate
Gây ra: The post type is set to not translatable in WPML settings.
Sửa chữa: Open WPML then Settings, mark those custom post types and categories as translatable, and save.
📌 Ghi chú: If none of these fix your issue, contact WPML support.
