About BuddyPress Multilingual

This plugin allows you to create multilingual BuddyPress and BuddyBoss sites using WPML. It works with both single-site and multi-site installations, and allows guest blogs to choose their language and create multilingual content. There are also features such as language switching on BuddyPress/BuddyBoss pages, the ability to select the language when viewing user profiles, and the ability to translate email notifications.
