From the developer
Mirco Babini's own description of WPML Shortcodes, lightly tidied.
Adds the wpml__ and wpml_e functions to your theme and the wpml__ shortcode to your WordPress website. Make your WordPress full WPML ready
<?php wpml__( $text, $context ); ?>
<?php wpml_e( $text, $context ); ?>Similarly to the behaviour of the __, _e functions, you must provide a string to make translateable and a context.
That’s it; just provide translations from the WPML > String Translations admin panel.
Check how to use the shortcode below.
Usage (via code)
<h1><?php echo wpml__( 'Title', 'wpmlshortcodes' ); ?></h1>
<h2><?php wpml_e( 'Subtitle', 'wpmlshortcodes' ); ?></h2>Usage (via shortcode)

<h2>[wpml__ context=wpmlshortcodes]Subtitle[/wpml__]</h2>NEWS! WPML Translate (+ shortcode)
