When working with TranslatePress, it is important to remember that this plugin is meant for the frontend, which means it is mainly for the part of the website that the client will interact with.

From the TranslatePress settings above, the available languages are:

  1. Spanish (default)
  2. French

If the customer wants to view their document in either language, they just need to switch the site language and re-download their document.

Please Note:

  • This TranslatePress language switcher above will also determine the language in which the customer will receive their PDFs via email attachment.
  • The free version of TranslatePress is enough.
  • Our plugin’s compatibility with TranslatePress is still in its early phases and is still limited.
