Hei,

Not formally no, though some users have had success with using WPML and Event Espresso together. The plugin is translatable but some areas may require tweaking to get working with WPML.

Hi,

Translation occurs via WordPress. So long as WordPress is in another language than US English and the correct Event Espresso language files are installed then Event Espresso will translate automatically.

Hi,

That’s where the issues lie, those are not transaltable by WordPress, so it is up to the translation plugin such as WPML to resolve it. Some users prefer to set duplicate events, one in either language, and honestly I’m not sure how others have managed it.

IT may become easier once Event Espresso version 4.0 is out and stable, as it uses true Custom Post Types, which may make it easier to use plugins like WPML.

You could add a switch statement to each template file. Something like:

switch ($event_id) {
  case 2:
  case 4:
    global $sitepress;
    $sitepress->switch_lang("en");
    break;
  default:
}

I have to admit, I don’t have any experience using WPML. If you want a event title and description to be in a particular language, why not just write it in that language in the event editor. Or is it a matter of telling WPML what language you did write it in?
If you are trying to use multiple translations of EE, then you can take a look in espresso.php line 285, where we are setting the EE translation file to use based on the WPLANG constant. You could probably change that to pick up the lang from however WPML sets what the current lang is.
