WPML

WPML is a premium translation plugin that allows you to translate pages, posts, menus, custom post types, taxonomies, and theme texts. It’s a reliable solution for translating your WordPress site and works seamlessly with any plugin or theme using the WordPress API. 

WPML is fully compatible with the BuddyBoss Theme and BuddyBoss Platform, enabling you to create a multilingual social network. With WPML’s BuddyPress Multilingual add-on, you can:

• Use the WPML String Translation add-on to translate all strings from the BuddyBoss Platform and Theme.

This integration ensures that your multilingual BuddyBoss-powered social network runs smoothly across languages.
