What it does
Running a site in more than one language often means juggling separate installs or copying content by hand. This plugin keeps every language inside one WordPress site. You can translate posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, menus and widgets, along with text that comes from your theme and plugins. Each language gets its own URL structure, and visitors can be detected by language preference and sent to the matching version of your content.
The plugin also handles the people side of translation. You can assign translation jobs, track their progress and work with translators from inside the WordPress dashboard. A string translation module covers admin, theme and plugin texts without editing PO files. It works with WooCommerce Multilingual for translated product catalogs, and it supports WordPress multisite, so it fits blogs, company sites, online stores and networks of sites alike.
Best for
- Businesses publishing content for readers in several languages
- WooCommerce stores selling to customers in different countries
- Agencies managing translation work with outside translators
