What It Does

This plugin helps make Events Manager and WPML work better together by allowing translation of all event-related features.

Version 2.0 is a major revamp that fixes all known issues, nuances, and limitations. It enables full compatibility with Events Manager and Events Manager Pro Add-ons.

It detects translated pages of specific EM pages and displays relevant language content. You can search locations and events within the context of the current language being viewed. Recurring events can be created in multiple languages, and recurrence translations are correctly created.

Event translations will share relevant information across all translations, including event times and location information. If translations for the location exist, translated events will show or link to the location of the same language.

Location address information can be translated while sharing coordinate, country, and zip information across translations. Event-related text can be translated for each language, including custom texts, email templates, and formats on the settings page.

MultiSite cross-site support is included, allowing events from other blogs in your network to be displayed when EM Global Tables Mode is enabled. Untranslated items can be displayed or hidden according to WPML settings.

Please ensure that WPML 4.2 and EM 5.6.7 or higher are installed before updating or activating this plugin.
