📌 Detailed Overview

Building a directory that performs across regions demands more than translated strings—your data model must localize as well. Directorist WPML Integration ensures listings, categories, locations, and custom fields are properly translated and mapped, so searches, filters, and detail pages remain accurate in every language. Editors can translate content manually or leverage WPML’s Translation Management and automatic translation to accelerate production.

The integration also respects multilingual SEO: language-specific slugs, page structures, and metadata help search engines index the right variant, while users enjoy a consistent “in-language” browsing and checkout experience for pricing plans and listing submissions.

4) How does SEO work for multiple languages?

WPML sets per-language URLs and hreflang. Use your SEO plugin as usual to set titles/descriptions for each language variant.

5) Does this replace Polylang or other tools?

No. This add-on specifically integrates Directorist with WPML. Use WPML for the best results outlined here.
