The Problem & The Solution

The Problem

HivePress has limited WPML compatibility out of the box. Listing field labels stay in the default language. Categories and attributes don't translate. Search breaks or returns mixed-language results. Email templates go out in one language. Your marketplace looks half-translated—frustrating for international users.

The Solution

WPML HivePress Bridge provides deep integration between WPML and HivePress. Every user-facing string—field labels, custom field values, categories, search, and emails—is translatable. Users see the marketplace in their language from listing submission to email notifications.

Features

Listing Field Label Translation

Every HivePress field label—from "Price" to "Description" to custom fields—is registered with WPML String Translation. Translate once, and it appears correctly in every language across your marketplace.

Custom Field Value Translation

Not just labels—translate the actual values users enter. Select options, dropdown choices, and taxonomy terms are fully translatable. A listing in French shows French categories; the same listing in English shows English categories.

Category & Attribute Translation

HivePress categories, attributes, and custom taxonomies integrate with WPML. Each language has its own translated category tree. Search and filters work correctly in every language.

Search Works Across Languages

Users searching in Spanish find Spanish listings. The bridge ensures search queries, filters, and results respect the active language. No broken search on translated pages.

Email Templates Per Language

Listing submission confirmations, vendor notifications, and booking emails are translatable. WPML detects the user's language and sends the appropriate template. No more English emails to French users.

Automatic Language Detection for Listings

Listings inherit the language of the submission context. When a user submits in German, the listing is associated with German. Language switchers and URLs work seamlessly with HivePress listing pages.

How It Works

1

Install WPML + HivePress + Bridge

Ensure WPML (with String Translation and possibly Translation Management) and HivePress are installed. Add the WPML HivePress Bridge plugin and activate. No configuration required.

2

Plugin Auto-Detects Translatable Strings

The bridge automatically registers all HivePress strings with WPML: field labels, form placeholders, button text, error messages, and email templates. They appear in WPML String Translation.

3

Translate via WPML String Translation

Go to WPML > String Translation. Filter by "HivePress" domain. Translate each string to your target languages. Use automatic translation or manual entry—your choice.

4

Users See Marketplace in Their Language

Switch the site language (or let users switch). Listings, categories, search, forms, and emails display in the correct language. Your marketplace is truly global.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which WPML version is required?
WPML HivePress Bridge requires WPML 4.5 or higher with the String Translation module. For automatic translation of categories and taxonomies, WPML Translation Management is recommended but not required. We test against the latest WPML releases.
Does it work with Polylang?
No. This plugin is built specifically for WPML. Polylang has a different architecture and string registration system. If you need Polylang support, contact us—we may offer a separate Polylang bridge in the future.
Are all HivePress extensions supported?
The bridge covers HivePress core, HivePress Bookings, HivePress Requests, HivePress Reviews, and HivePress Geodirectory. Custom fields and taxonomies from other extensions are also translatable. If you use a specific extension, ask us before purchasing.
Does it support RTL languages?
Yes. WPML handles RTL switching. The bridge does not override WPML's RTL behavior. Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages work correctly when your theme supports RTL.
What about performance overhead?
Minimal. The bridge registers strings at activation and hooks into WPML's existing translation layer. No extra database queries per page. Translation lookups use WPML's cache. We've run marketplaces with 50,000+ listings and 5 languages without issues.
