# WPML separate statistics per language

 * Hello,
 * I’m wondering if WordPress Popular Posts creates statistics per language when
   using with WPML. Posts that are popular in one language might not be so relevant
   in another language – so having separate statistics per language would be a smart
   thing.
   However it seems to me that this is not the case, am I right?Also I’ve
   noticed that the content tag {date} outputs always the date of the original post
   and not the date of the translated post. As a work around I created a custom 
   tag that just uses the get_post_time function to output the date. Just wanted
   to let you know…
 * Thanks,
   Andreas

 * Correct, it isn’t.
 * WordPress Popular Posts’ current multilingual support implementation works like
   this:
    1. Every post / page / CPT must have its own translation (as hinted on the [Description](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/)
       page), and
    2. The plugin considers posts and their translations as a single entity, hence 
       the reason why there are no separate statistics.
 * Since you may ask, no, separating views data isn’t a simple task and it’s not
   something being considered at this point in time.
 * About the date stuff, that’s the expected behavior for the use case explained
   above. You normally wouldn’t post, for example, a new article today and then 
   its translation a month later.
