Support for Multilingual Plugins

MailPoet does not directly support qTranslate, WPML, or Polylang.

This said you can still use MailPoet with these plugins to send standard newsletters. Simply ensure:

  • to have forms for each language;
  • translate the signup confirmation email in all languages since there's only 1 confirmation email;
  • translate the Unsubscribe page and the Manage Your Subscription page.

MailPoet works pretty well with MultilingualPress or WeGlot otherwise.


How to Set Up MailPoet on a Multilingual Website

1. Create a list for each of your languages;

2. Create a form for each of your languages. Each form should be tied to its respective language;

3. Add each form to your websites, so they show in their respective language;

4. In your site's In MailPoet's Settings > Sign-up Confirmation, update the content of the email to be in all languages;

5. Send newsletters or emails in a language to the corresponding list.


Known WPML Issues

This is a list of currently known WPML issues, but as MailPoet does not officially support WPML, this is likely not a complete list.

  • Abandoned Cart automation only works for the main language, not alternate languages
  • Post Notifications that filter based on language, or based on language-specific categories, do not pull out any posts other than for the default language
  • back end text uses WPML’s translations rather than MailPoet translations, which is sometimes incorrect or comes into conflict
  • list management, such as sign up forms or the Manage Subscriptions page, is not language-specific so all customers see all options
