FileMaker to Multiple SQL Databases

We are using a FileMaker database for our small business.  A web development team has redone our website to a WordPress framework is now putting together the online forms that will be linked to our database.  We've run into a bit of a snare.  I may not be phrasing this correctly, but this is how I understand the situation:  because WordPress works with MySQL, that is how the online form information is collected / stored for our website.  And due to the fact that we have different languages being collected in the online data, different MySQL databases have to be created.  So, can a single FileMaker database be "linked" to several MySQL databases . . . all our information, whether entered online or by a computer, would be connected a single database solution?

Yes, you can create an external data source for each mySQL database and then bring those tables into your FileMaker solution.
