Stable Version (via WordPress Plugins Repository)
This free WPML Addon removes the WP Menus Sync sub menu from the WPML sidebar menu in the backend and it hides the menu synchronization link that is displayed on the nav-menus pages.
The WP Menus Sync feature of WPML can be very useful if all the content that is going to be part of the menu items in the navigation menu(s) too already has been translated. However not all people (developers) have that luxury and therefore choose to translate the navigation menu(s) manually.
In that case it would not be a good idea when the client unwittingly clicks on that WPML submenu (or on the synchronization link in the Menus page) and starts syncing menus.
It is therefore that I have developed this small Addon. Of course people other than developers can also use the addon if they don't want to use the navigation menu synchronization tool of WPML.
First of all it checks whether WPML has been installed. If it has it will hide the synchronization link from the Appearance > Menus page.
It also removes the link from the WPML submenu in the Dashboard sidebar.
The Addon doesn't come with any settings.
You can stop looking, there are no settings. The Addon just works in the background.
This plugin is an Addon for WPML, the plugin that enables any WordPress website to become 100% multilingual. If you don't have WPML installed, this Addon is useless, so better not install it.
