Import and export glossaries

Please, note: This page describes a special version of the WordPress connector that synchronizes all content for a fully automatic translation and is available upon request. To send individual translation requests into Smartcat right from WordPress, use our WordPress App.

WPML (The WordPress Multilingual Plugin) is designed to build multilingual sites and run them. It is the most popular and reliable plugin of its kind on the market with over 1,255,000 users to date. Using the integration between WPML and Smartcat, you can pull source content from WPML to Smartcat, translate it, and then push the translation into the corresponding source type.

Before you start configuring the integration, make sure that you have WPML Multilingual CMS add-on installed on your machine, and then proceed as follows:

To configure the WPML integration, log in to Smartcat and complete the following steps:

If the integration is created successfully, the content you indicated in the settings is synchronized with the current Smartcat project and appears as Smartcat project documents.

After a document translation is completed, return to the integration settings, open the Settings tab, enable the option Push translations back and click Sync Now. The translated documents will be pushed to WPML and will appear as an additional language in the respective content type. The addition of a new language is indicated by the pencil icon in the Languages column.

If new source segments were added to the integrated space since the previous sync, the Smartcat documents will be updated accordingly.

By default, a sync disregards incomplete translations. You can, however, instruct the integration to include them in every sync by enabling the option Publish incomplete documents.

Instead of explicitly performing sync by clicking Sync Now, you can schedule a sync at the required intervals. To do this, click on Do not repeat and select the appropriate option from the drop-down menu.

Please note that the content in WordPress can be created using various third-party plugins. Here is the list of plugins supported by Smartcat integration:
