    Hi, we are running our website in 3 languages, each with its own domain, based on WP using WPML:

    http://www.casasmundiales.com
    http://www.casasmundiales.es
    http://www.casasmundiales.de

    On top of the backend there is the WPML language selector determining which content to display.
    Even if we are choosing one of the 3 languages, the content and settings at SSO backend is always the same, respecting the english content, like e.g.:

    Site Name (en_US)
    Site Description (en_US)
    Facebook Business Page URL

    We would like to change this and other settings for each language and its URL. So that e.g. “Site Description (en_US)” for the english site http://www.casasmundiales.com is different from German one http://www.casasmundiales.de and also each language is referring it´s own Facebook Business Page URL etc.

    How can we manage this?

    Plugin looks good and we like it. We would like to purchase the pro version, that´s the last hint we have to manage before we might decide for the pro version.

    In advance thank you for any help!

    Sorry, but the dynamic locale feature is a Pro version feature… It’s easy to miss in the long list of Pro version features listed in the description. 😉

    Customizable multilingual / multi-language Site Title and Site Description texts.

    FYI – The “Facebook Business Page URL” value is not locale-aware, but that’s a good suggestion. 😉

    BTW, I’m not sure if WPML has a language switcher for the admin back-end. Have a look at Polylang – it works with WPML and I know it has a language switcher in the back-end (to change the working locale).

    The upcoming v3.27.0 release will include locale options for social site URLs as well (thanks for the suggestion). 😉

    Hi JS,
    thank you for detailed feedback and sorry for delay from my end.

    Just to let you know, I have purchased 3 pro licences.

    As I told you, we are running the site on 3 URL´s in 3 different languages and I want to add 3different Facebook Business Page URL, Google+ Business Page URL etc., for each language a separate reference.

    It´s not possible at the moment. So please find this message as suggestion or feature request, for sure there are a lot of WPML or Polylang users looking for a feature like this. Even from my case if this is working well it´s not a problem to purchase a licence for each single language used by this site.

    To prevent from missunderstandings please have a look at this screenshots:

    Pro version licensing and WP locale switching are two different things… Let me explain a bit more…

    – Pro version licenses are per site, so if you have one site, you need only one license. A “site” is determined by the WordPress Site Address value under the WordPress General settings page. If you load-balance a single site on several servers, they will all have the same WordPress Site Address, which means you only need one license. If you use multiple / different WordPress Site Addresses on several WordPress installations, then you need multiple licenses (multisite setups are a good example of this).

    – Some option values, like the Site Name, Site Description, Facebook Page URL, etc. can change with the locale. As you change the wp-admin locale, you can enter different values for that locale. A good example of this is Polylang which offers you a drop-down to switch languages. As you switch languages (ie. the WP locale), the value of those options will change as well. WPSSO will then use those values on the front-end, depending on the locale / language used for the webpage.

    So, make sure WPML can switch the wp-admin locale, and if not, give Polylang a try (it works with WPML too).

    I’ve requested Developer status with the WPML team to see if I can integrate WPSSO with WPML a bit better – we’ll see. 😉
