To check WordPress plugin WPML compatibility, validate the presence and correct implementation of necessary hooks, configurations, and wpml-config.xml files. This process assesses custom fields, post types, URL handling, and REST API compatibility to ensure proper multilingual functionality.

A wpml-config.xml file defines multilingual configuration for WordPress plugins. You need it for WPML compatibility because it ensures custom fields and custom post types are correctly set up for translation and language switching across your site.

To make custom post types and custom fields translatable in WPML, verify your plugin includes the correct wpml-config.xml file and necessary hooks. This ensures WPML properly registers and translates your custom content elements across languages.

WPML compatibility directly affects WordPress REST API and AJAX handlers. Validating compatibility ensures custom REST routes, rewrite rules, and AJAX handlers function correctly with WPML's current language detection and URL handling for multilingual sites.

You can validate language switcher hooks and URL handling for WordPress plugins by checking WPML compatibility. This confirms the implementation of current language detection and multilingual URL configurations meets WPML's required standards.

Checking WPML compatibility without the WPML plugin installed is a limitation because this validation requires WPML as a dependency. The Skill needs the active WPML environment to accurately assess hooks, configurations, and multilingual functionality.
