WPML GraphQL 1.1.3
Description
WPML GraphQL extends the WPGraphQL plugin so you can build multilingual WordPress experiences with front-end technologies. Instead of translating content only in the WordPress admin, you can query language-specific data and translations directly from the GraphQL schema. This helps solve a common problem in multilingual builds: keeping frontend requests aligned with the active language and the translated fields you need.
With WPML GraphQL, developers can retrieve and filter content by language through a schema designed for frontend consumption. The result is a more straightforward workflow for multilingual site development, especially in headless or API-driven setups where GraphQL queries power the user experience. It integrates into WordPress and the WPGraphQL environment so your multilingual content remains consistent across layers.
