Translate Survey Maker Plugin With WPML

The WordPress Survey plugin enables users to create and display dazzling unlimited surveys with limitless sections and questions. You can create surveys to find out the opinion of your users, to get answers to your questions, and for many other reasons. Having a multilingual audience is not an issue because the WordPress survey plugin is WPML compatible and you can easily translate your surveys by following these instructions.

We will do the translation of the survey with the WPML plugin, so first of all, it is necessary to purchase it and then activate it. After activating the plugin, you can proceed with the initial setup where you’ll select your default language and add the additional languages you want to support. Once that’s done, you’ll be ready to start translating your surveys and all related texts directly from the WPML interface.

Well, if you are ready let's start the process.

Step 1

To have a much better translation, you should go to your WordPress dashboard and click on "Settings" from the WPML submenu and make sure that "Advanced Translation Editor" is enabled.

Let's take a look at WPML features. As you can see here we have a unique feature to translate plugins-String Translation, through which interface you can translate texts in the plugins and the Admin screens. This is especially useful when working with plugins like Survey Maker, where many texts—such as question labels, button texts, error messages, tooltips, and other custom interface elements—need to be translated manually. The String Translation feature gives you direct access to these texts and allows you to manage translations for each language all in one place. This not only helps you maintain consistency across your multilingual site but also ensures that your surveys feel natural and native to every user, no matter which language they choose.

Step 2

As I mentioned above, we need to translate the strings. So first let's find out strings in the Survey Maker plugin. Go to your WordPress dashboard, find "Themes and Plugins localization"from the WPML submenu, and by scrolling down from "Strings in the plugins" find out Survey Maker plugin, tick the Survey Maker checkbox available. Click the "Scan Selected Plugins for Strings" button after scrolling down.If the scanning results appeared on your screen, you have done everything correctly.

Step 3

As the strings are scanned let's move to translation. From the WPML sub-menu find the "String Translation" button and click on it. It is an essential fact that the WPML plugin detects all the strings in the plugin both strings of the back end and also strings of the front end, so by translating you will translate all of them, however, if you do not want to, the WPML plugin allows you to translate only strings that are displayed on your website for the users.

So if you are ready choose the Survey Maker plugin from "All Domains". Select the strings you need to translate from the list of strings and add the translated text under the relevant language.
I want to translate the word "Start" into Italian, that's why I'm now providing the Italian equivalent of the word start, which is "Cominciare".

Step 4

If everything is ready by scrolling down in the "Translate Selected Strings Section" tick your needed language available and click on the "Add selected strings to translation basket" button.

Step 5

From the WPML sub-menu click on "Translation Management", click on the "Translation Basket" tab, and after that "Send all items for translation" button.

Step 6

Now you need to go to "Translations" from the WPML sub-menu. Here are all translations ready to translate. You can edit the translated ones or just click on the "Translate" button if everything is fine.

Step 7

After clicking on the "Translate" button the following button will appear. Here also you need to insert the translation. If everything is ready click on "Complete", which is below.

Step 8

We are at the finish line. Now let's preview our translation. As you can see the button "Start" is now in Italian.
