WPML is a popular multilingual plugin that enables the translation of pages, posts, plugins, and themes on our WordPress site.
To translate individual strings such as user inputs and admin text from the Click to Chat plugin, we also need to install the WPML String Translation add-on.
Translating Click to Chat Settings
We can translate the Click to Chat plugin settings for each language, including:
- WhatsApp Number (while translating, ensure the number is entered with the country code)
- Prefilled Message
- Call to Action
- Group ID
Navigate to WPML → String Translation.
In the “In Domain” dropdown, select “Click to Chat For WhatsApp”.
Locate the string we want to translate
Click the “+” (plus) symbol next to the string.
A dialog box will appear, allowing us to enter the translated text for the selected language.
Important Notes
If the Click to Chat for WhatsApp strings are not visible in the String Translation page:
- Save or update the Click to Chat plugin settings once.
- Refresh the String Translation page.
User Input Strings (e.g., WhatsApp Number, Prefilled Message, Call to Action) are saved under the Click to Chat for WhatsApp text domain.
Admin Side Strings (default plugin texts) are categorized under the click-to-chat-for-WhatsApp text domain.
