How to translate any Barn2 plugin with WPML

The WPML multilingual plugin allows you to translate all aspects of your website - including any Barn2 plugin - into multiple languages. This article explains how to translate the front and back end content of any of our plugins using WPML.

Please note that many of our plugins’ admin interfaces are available in several languages. To use the plugin in one of these languages, simply change your site's language at Settings → General.

Getting started

To translate Barn2 with WPML, start by installing the following plugins:

Translating Barn2 plugin content

WPML can translate any Barn2 plugin texts, also known as “strings.” To translate Barn2 strings with WPML, follow these steps:

  1. Go to WPML → Translation Dashboard.
  2. Scroll down to the Other texts (Strings) section and search for texts coming from Barn2 plugins. For example, here we’re selecting texts from a WooCommerce Product Option group.
    If some of your strings don’t appear in the table, visit the page with your texts on the front-end, change to your secondary language, and wait a moment. As you view the page, WPML will automatically identify the untranslated texts and populate them in the Other texts (Strings) table.
  3. Finally, choose a translation method. For the best translation quality, we recommend using PTC (Private Translation Cloud) – WPML’s most accurate AI translation engine

PTC is like your own team of expert translators with a deep understanding of your content and niche. It’s WPML’s proprietary AI technology, and even includes a translation quality guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with PTC’s translations, you’ll get a full refund.

Once WPML finishes translating your content, translations will appear on your website when switching languages.

While PTC’s translation quality is excellent, you can always edit translations using WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor if needed.

Just visit the translated page you want to edit on the front-end, and click Edit translation in the top admin bar. This will open the editor, where you can make any changes necessary.

What if I can't find the text from a Barn2 plugin?

If some of your texts still don’t show up in the Other texts (Strings) section, go to WPML → String Translation and search for them here. Once you find them, click the Plus icon to enter translations.

Where to get support with WPML

If you need help translating Barn2 content, please open a ticket in WPML’s Support forum. While our plugins are designed to work with WPML, unfortunately we are unable to support you with WPML-related queries because it is such an advanced plugin and we are not specialists in using it. As a result, it's best for you to get support from WPML directly. If they discover any issues with our plugins which we need to address then they will liaise with our developers on your behalf.
