WPML Integration

I have released a free plugin that integrates Breakdance with WPML. It can be downloaded directly from the WordPress repository: https://wordpress.org/plugins/integration-for-breakdance-and-wpml/

I've looked into this and I have a suspicion why WPML doesn't want to work with Breakdance and only works with Elementor.
Founder of WPML Amir Helzer, has studied at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology 1991-2004, and Elemantor is also an Israelian based company. Connect these two dots together, and you'll get the answer why WPML won't work with Breakdance....
Louis Reingold might be a good opportunity for Breakdance to explore a plug in that will offer multilingual option :)

IMHO, Louis Reingold is completely right in his position.
You can read here attentively and you will understand his position: https://breakdance.com/documentation/integrations/multilingual/.
Would you expect Breakdance team to be fully responsible for ANY integration with ANY plugin we would like to have (although very useful and much necessary from our side)?
Come on, a little bit of common sense!
Would you feel the burden of this responsibility if you were the owner responsible for a page builder?
Conversely, we should put some pressure on the plugins developers whom we expect to be integrated with Breakdance.
This is only MHO.
God bless!

Your EGO in comparing yourselves to Elementor while refusing to handle the integration yourselves is hurting your users. It's normal that WPML takes care of the integration with Elementor given its market share compared to Breakdance. I use Breakdance daily and still have to go back to Elementor every time I need to build a multilingual site. Polylang and TranslatePress aren't fully compatible either.
And for the love of God, I don't want to hear about Weglot again — their pricing is outrageous. It makes no sense that a builder costs me €200 per year, and the multilingual plugin costs €200 per month.

And honestly, I love Breakdance — but come on, how can you be so stubborn? We’re all asking for a FULL integration with a multilingual plugin that isn’t Weglot. Even if it’s TranslatePress, just make sure it’s complete and officially supported by you.
It’s frustrating that we can’t confidently build a multilingual site with Breakdance without fearing that, due to the lack of a proper integration, things might break or stop working down the line.
I don’t see you asking the WooCommerce team to make their plugin work properly with Breakdance — you do that work yourselves. Why is multilingual support any different?

Strange, I published a post on the BD facebook group bringing this subject back and quoting my correspondence with WPML where they called this page: https://wpml.org/plugin/breakdance/
However my post was removed the next day. Is there something serious going on behind the scenes between Soflyy and WPML teams???

Chris Osiak I've been looking into that as well, and I've posted a comment above. So pretty much founder of WPML Amir Helzer, has studied at Technion - Israel Institute of Technology 1991-2004, and Elemantor is also an Israelian based company. Connect these two dots together, and you'll get the answer why WPML won't work with Breakdance....

Let’s put some pressure on the WPML team, otherwise this will never get done

This thread is now closed, and our official position is as follows.
- Most users building multilingual sites are currently using TranslatePress. Some are using Polylang. We also recommend Weglot.
- We are happy to provide the WPML team the necessary support to create integrations for Breakdance.
Specifically, we will provide APIs, action hooks, filters, docs, etc. as necessary for them to create a high-quality integration between WPML and Breakdance just as they have done for WPML and Elementor.
Basically, whatever they need short of actually coding or hand-holding their development of the integration for them, we are happy to provide.
- The entire chain of emails between me and the WPML regarding the integration team can be viewed here - so please read that before pointing fingers at the WPML team or at us: https://www.loom.com/share/125987e2f6a24e8b9df8c2f7aea73296
- When the WPML team would like us to provide them with what we've promised above, we will re-open this feature.

Louis Reingold: sorry to say but this is a huge disappointment and honestly I can understand why they would not be willing to invest their time and efforts toward integration. I also understand why you would expect the same treatment as the other builders they have provided integration for. At the end of the day its the users that suffer. I guess its fine for you guys to accept that for your customers.

any news ? I contacted them as well 2 days ago and they said they gonna reach out to you Louis Reingold
Louis Reingold
Aggelos Sybacom: I look forward to it. We haven't heard from them yet but it's only been 2 days so let's give them a chance.
We are eager to provide the WPML team with hooks, actions, APIs, and the necessary support to integrate WPM:L with Breakdance - exactly as they have done for Elementor.
