WPML 5.0 Beta – A Redesigned Experience and Smarter Automatic Translation
WPML 5.0 is the biggest update we’ve shipped in years.
WPML now translates every Slider Revolution 7 module automatically into every language on your site. Build your slider once in the source language and visitors see it in theirs.
Slider Revolution is one of the most popular WordPress plugins for designing animated sliders, hero sections, and motion-rich page layouts. With version 7, the Slider Revolution team built an AI Translate Addon that delegates translation to WPML, so the sliders you design behave like any other content on your multilingual site.
The two teams have been collaborating on this integration over the last few months. Slider Revolution shipped the addon in their 7.0.16 release in June 2026, and we tested the integration end-to-end against our Translate Everything Automatically flow before recommending it to clients.
“WPML is the standard our users reach for when they go multilingual, so building AI Translate to work with it as the primary source was an easy call. It means our customers get the design freedom of Slider Revolution and the localization power of WPML, with none of the manual duplication.”
— Moritz Praetorius, Founder, Slider Revolution
In Slider Revolution 6, shipping a slider in more than one language meant duplicating slides per language and tagging each one. Every design tweak turned into one edit per language. The Slider Revolution 7 AI Translate Addon replaces that with a single source slider that WPML translates:
You’ll need three things active on your site:
With all three active, Slider Revolution’s Plugin Dashboard shows a “WPML compatible” notice and every module you create or edit becomes translatable through WPML.
From there, the workflow depends on whether you use Translate Everything Automatically:
WPML translates the strings in your module the moment you save it. The image files stay the same in every language. For most images, that’s what you want. Some images need to change per language: a banner with text baked into the artwork, a product photo for a market that uses different packaging, or a hero shot that should feel local.
If you want per-language images, install WPML Media Translation. You upload an alternate file per language for each image you want to vary, and the slider serves the right one to each visitor.
