By default, WordPress sends every comment moderation notification to a single admin email address, no matter what language the commented-on post is in. On a multilingual site built with WPML, that means one inbox (and often one person) has to triage moderation requests for content they may not even be able to read.

Multilingual Comment Moderation Emails for WPML fixes this by letting you set a separate moderation email address for each active language on your site. When a comment comes in on a post written in Spanish, the notification goes to your Spanish moderator; when it’s in French, it goes to your French moderator; and so on. Any language without its own configured address simply falls back to your site’s default Administration Email Address, so you only need to set up the languages that need a dedicated moderator.

Key features

  • Per-language comment moderation email addresses, configured right on the familiar Settings > Discussion screen.
  • Automatic fallback to the site’s default admin email for any language you haven’t configured.
  • Works with any WPML-registered language, including custom/added languages.
  • Lightweight: no new database tables, no extra settings pages, no bloat.
  • Requires the WPML plugin (Multilingual CMS) to detect each post’s language.

Typical use cases

  • Editorial teams with different moderators per language/region.
  • Agencies managing multilingual client sites where local staff moderate their own language’s comments.
  • Any WPML site where comment spam/moderation volume is high enough that splitting it by language saves time.
