Translate Booking Form via WPML

WPML is the recommended option for translating the plugin and offering multi-language support.

With WPML, you can translate the entirety of your plugin, including dynamic information such as service and category titles, scheduled notifications, and any custom fields you've created before translation.

Setup

1. Install the WPML plugin, ensuring you've added the main WPML components:

  • WPML Multilingual CMS (the core plugin)
  • WPML String Translation

Configure WPML before you can start translating. Select WPML and follow the steps to prepare your site for translation.

2. Install Bookly.

We recommend that you install WPML before you install Bookly as that is the easiest way to have the entire Bookly plugin translated.

However, if you have already installed Bookly, you will need to take an additional step to ensure that your notifications and dynamic texts are translated via WPML. Simply navigate to the Email & SMS Notifications and/or Appearance section and resave the entities you want to be viewable in WPML.

3. To translate texts coming from Bookly (like your Booking form) start by translating the page containing your widget. Simply go WPML > Translation Management, expand the Pages section and select your page.

Then, choose a translation method and click the Translate button. For the best translation quality, we recommend using WPML’s automatic translation.

Now that your page is translated, the next step is to translate the texts inside your Bookly widget.

By default, WPML automatically provides translations for the majority of texts coming from Bookly. That said, in order to make them appear you need to send some texts from your widget for translation.

To translate texts from your Bookly widgets, go to WPML > Translation Management, and scroll down to the Other texts (Strings) section. Then, search for a few texts in your Bookly widget and send them for translation.

Your entire Bookly widget will now appear translated. If some texts still remain untranslated, manually send them for translation from the Other texts (Strings) section.
