Simplify WPML Dashboard for Translators

Agencies often struggle with WPML because of too many translation management options. Here is how to fix it.

The Problem with WPML for Clients

While WPML is a powerful tool, it often presents too many options to the end-user. Clients logging in to manage their site are often overwhelmed by the sheer number of menu items and settings. This leads to:

• Confusion about where to go to perform simple tasks.
• "I broke the site" support tickets.
• A perception that WordPress is "clunky" or "hard to use".

The Manual Way (Hard)

You could try to use custom code in `functions.php` to hide these menus based on user roles. This requires maintaining code snippets, updating them when the plugin changes, and risking breaking the backend if you make a syntax error.

The Client Calm Way (Easy)

Translators need the Translation Management screen, not the 32 other WPML settings pages. Client Calm lets you hide WPML's main menu while keeping translation tools accessible through the admin bar.

With Client Calm, you just:

1. Install the plugin.
2. Go to the Menu Manager.
3. Toggle off the WPML menus you want to hide.

It's that simple. No code, no maintenance.
