== Description ==

**WPML combines multilingual content authoring with powerful translation management. It powers corporate sites and is simple enough for bloggers.**

> <strong>This version supports only older WordPress versions (up to 3.0.5). For current WordPress, you need the commercial WPML from <a href="http://wpml.org">WPML.org</a></strong>.

= Features =

[WPML](http://wpml.org) makes it possible to turn WordPress blogs multilingual in a few minutes with no knowledge of PHP or WordPress.
Its advanced features allow professional web developers to build full multilingual websites.

 * Turns a single WordPress site into a multilingual site.
 * Powerful translation management, allowing teams of translators to work on multilingual sites.
 * Built-in theme localization without .mo files.
 * Comments translation allows you to moderate and reply to comments in your own language.
 * Integrated professional translation (optional feature for folks who need help translating).
 * Includes CMS navigation elements for drop down menus, breadcrumbs trail and sidebar navigation.
 * Robust links to posts and pages that never break.

= Stay up-to-date =

Newer WPML versions are available exclusively from <a href="http://wpml.org">WPML.org</a>.

The commercial WPML versions are intended for web developers who need to deliver working websites without compromise on quality, performance or schedule. You will receive a polished product, backed by <a href="http://forum.wpml.org">support</a> directly from WPML's developers.

== Installation ==

1. Place the folder containing this file into the plugins folder
2. Activate the plugin from the admin interface

WPML needs to create tables in your database. These tables are used to hold the new language information. In order to use WPML, your MySQL user needs to have sufficient privileges to create new tables in the database.

For help, visit the support forum - http://forum.wpml.org.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Can I translate myself, or do I need to pay for it? =

You can certainly translate your site yourself. The professional translation is an optional feature intended for people who don't want to translate themselves.

If you're translating your site yourself, just ignore that option.

= Everything in the theme still appears without translation =

Have a look at our theme localization guide.

= Languages per directories are disabled =

To be able to use languages in directories, you should use a non-default permlink structure.

== Screenshots ==

1. Translation controls in posts and pages lists.
2. Translation controls in edit screen.
3. String translation panel for translating plugins and themes.
