Product Description
WPML CMS Navigation is an addon for the WordPress Multilingual plugin that handles the synchronization of navigation menus across different language versions of your site. When you add, remove, or rearrange items in your primary language menu, this addon ensures those structural changes are reflected in all translated menus.
Menu Synchronization
Managing navigation menus on a multilingual WordPress site can become tedious when each language has its own separate menu structure. WPML CMS Navigation automates this process by keeping menu hierarchies in sync. When you add a new page to your main menu, the corresponding translated page automatically appears in the correct position in other language menus.
How It Works
- Automatic sync: Menu structure changes propagate to all language versions without manual intervention
- Custom items: Handles custom links, categories, and post type items in translated menus
- Menu ordering: Preserves the order and hierarchy of menu items across languages
Practical Considerations
This addon works alongside the core WPML plugin and requires WPML Multilingual CMS to function. It is particularly useful for sites with frequently changing navigation structures, reducing the time spent on manual menu management across multiple languages.
Our Verdict

Expert Reviewer
WPML CMS Navigation simplifies an otherwise repetitive task in multilingual site management. During testing, menu changes in the primary language were reliably reflected in translated menus. The addon handles standard menu items well, though language-specific items occasionally need manual attention.
A practical tool for keeping navigation consistent across languages, particularly on sites with frequent menu updates.
