In order to translate the author bio:

  1. Go to WPML’s > String Translation. Add authors as translatable strings
    P4_authorbio_stringtranslation
  2. Go to WPML’s > Theme and plugins localization. Scan the template for translatable strings, this should collect the authors strings for translation:
    P4_authorbio_themeplugins
  3. Go back to String Translation and edit the corresponding author bios:
    P4_authorbio_exemplestring
  4. Enjoy your new translation.
    P4_authorbio_exempleprofile

Note :

  • you can’t translate /author/ string
  •  you’ll then have to re-do process 4 to translate each profile, staff by staff. No options to do it from the user profile.

Voilou.
