WPML Page Builders AddOn v1.1.3 is an official WPML adapter plugin for visual editors, specifically designed to solve the pain point where page builder content without shortcode architecture cannot be properly captured for translation. As the official Chinese localization of WPML – Page Builders AddOn, it bridges WPML with mainstream visual website building plugins, making it an essential companion component for building multilingual websites and landing pages with Elementor and Beaver Builder. Note: This plugin cannot run independently and requires the WPML Multilingual CMS main program to be pre-installed.
Core Features of WPML Page Builders AddOn
1. Full Compatibility with Mainstream Visual Editors
Natively supports four major page builders: Elementor/Elementor Pro, Beaver Builder (free/paid versions), SiteOrigin, and Cornerstone (X theme companion editor). Page modules and custom components built without shortcode architecture are all integrated into the WPML translation system. Editors that natively rely on shortcode rendering do not require this plugin.
2. Detailed Translation of All Page Elements
Elementor: Popup components, "Read More" in article lists, image titles, link text, form controls, and custom widget text can all be recognized and translated by WPML. Version 1.1.3 improves translation support for Elementor login components and article widgets.
Beaver Builder: Full field localization for rows, columns, module titles, buttons, descriptions, and icon annotations, with custom template layouts preserving original formatting while only replacing text.
All page styles and layout structures are uniformly preserved across languages, with translation only replacing text content, eliminating the need to rebuild pages for different languages.
3. Standardized WPML Translation Workflow Integration
All text generated by page builders is automatically aggregated into the WPML Translation Management panel, supporting three translation modes: manual backend translation item by item; WPML machine translation for one-click batch generation of translations; and XLIFF extension export for outsourcing translation, with batch import back into pages after completion.
4. Compatibility with Custom Extension Components
Custom modules generated by third-party Elementor add-ons (such as Essential Addons, Ultimate Addons, etc.) and Beaver Builder paid extensions can be captured and translated by the plugin, adapting to diverse landing page customization scenarios.
5. Flexible Differentiated Page Design
By default, all languages share a unified page layout. If a specific language requires independent layout, you can disable the unified layout and manually modify the page structure for that language, balancing standardization with localization customization needs.
6. Version Optimization Highlights (v1.1.3)
Fixes bugs such as untranslatable image captions in older versions, loss of language parameters in dynamic links, and missed text capture in some widgets. Improves character encoding adaptation for minority languages, and is compatible with WP6.x and PHP7.4~PHP8.3 mainstream runtime environments.
Deployment and Usage Instructions
No complex configuration is needed after installation. WPML automatically identifies the page builders activated on your site and captures all page text in the translation editor. To customize unrecognized niche components, you can manually register component translation permissions via an xml configuration file.
