WPML and GravityView

If you want to have a View that is available in multiple languages, here’s how to do it using the popular translation plugin WPML.

Floaty has a View that he wants to translate #

It’s an international guest list, so he wants to provide it in multiple languages.

First, ensure you have WPML Multilingual CMS installed and activated. #

This requires the Multilingual CMS WPML package.  

In the Dashboard, under the “WPML” menu, click on “Settings”: #

Click on the “Multilingual Content Setup” tab and then on “Post Types Translation” #

Set the “Views” custom post types to “Translate” #

This tells WPML you want to translate Views.

In the Custom Field Translation settings, click the “Show system fields” link #

The GravityView custom fields are hidden, so they don’t show up without a fuss!

Search for “_gravityview”  #

For every “Custom Field” item that starts with “_gravityview,” choose “Copy once.”

Note: If you don’t see any GravityView custom fields yet, you may not have created any Views. Create a View first, then return here.

You will now see the translation column(s) #

Click the ✏️ icon to translate the View in the language of your choice.

If the pencil icon doesn’t show up, try disabling GravityView’s No-Conflict mode.

Update Custom Content widgets and fields #

As well as field labels #

Once the View configuration is translated… #

…save the View, and check out how it looks! #

The translated View has translated labels and Custom Content widget #

But the entry content is not translated; it remains the same.

Let’s check out the English version again… #

…and it’s still the original translation. #

Hey, look at that: you have a translated View!
