About this plugin
AI translation for WordPress that you actually own. Multilanga translates your whole WordPress & WooCommerce site with AI and stores every translation in your own database, not a vendor cloud. Stop paying and your site stays multilingual, forever.
It’s the fast, private, no-lock-in alternative to cloud translation services.
Everything runs inside wp-admin, in a clean, modern interface. No external dashboard, no separate account. A short setup wizard gets your homepage translated in about a minute, and nothing is sent to our servers until you connect to the AI service.
Features
- Unlimited languages: translate into 85 languages, with no cap on how many you use, on every plan (including the free one).
- You set the priority. Languages are translated in the order you choose: the first one is finished before the next one starts, so a limited free word allowance goes to your most important language first. Translating a page by hand always goes first.
- You own the translations. They live in your WordPress database, not our cloud. No lock-in, trivial backups; cancel anytime and your translated site keeps working.
- Automatic AI translation. New content is translated in the background; change a setting or a glossary term and re-translate everything in one click. Your manual edits are always kept.
- Visual in-context editor. Open a live preview and click any text to translate it in place, with a Page & SEO side panel, or review element-by-element in a clean list.
- Served 100% locally. No external API call per visit, no flicker, and no per-view fees; a viral page costs nothing extra and your cache plugin keeps working.
- Real SEO: dedicated language URLs ( /de/, /fr/ ), automatic hreflang + x-default, translated titles, meta, Open Graph and slugs, localized canonicals, and a per-language XML sitemap.
- WooCommerce ready: products, cart and modern block checkout translate out of the box via the Store API, plus per-language product images.
- Brand-aware AI + glossary. Set tone, audience and site context; pin an exact translation or keep brand names untranslated, per language.
- Works with any builder: Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, shortcodes, widgets and theme strings are all covered, because Multilanga translates the rendered page.
- Flexible language switcher. A lightweight floating button (with adjustable offsets), a Language Switcher block for the block editor, the [multilanga_switcher] shortcode, or a menu item, with your colours, flags (rectangular or round), names, optional background/border/shadow and a Custom CSS box.
How it’s different from cloud translators
Cloud translation services keep your translations on their own servers and charge by words, by page views and by the number of languages. Multilanga keeps everything in your own database, serves pages locally, and never meters your traffic, at a flat yearly price with unlimited AI words on paid plans.
External Services
This plugin connects to the Multilanga API (a service by DoubleCoded) to machine-translate your content. The following data is sent:
- Content for translation: the text segments of your public pages that need translating, plus the source and target language codes. Sent by a background task when new or changed content is found, never during a regular visitor page view.
- License & site info: your license key, site URL, plugin and WordPress version, whether WooCommerce is active, your WordPress site language, your original and target language codes, the names of other translation plugins that are turned on (such as WPML or Polylang), and where the language switcher is placed (position, block, shortcode or menu use, and the last switcher error, if any). Sent only after you connect to the service (create or enter a license key): when you verify your license, once a day as a heartbeat, shortly after you change your languages or switcher position, and once after a plugin update, so your license can be validated and moved between sites you own and support can see your setup. Nothing is sent to our servers before you connect.
- Sign-up (optional): when you start a free license (in the setup wizard, the “Start translating for free” button, or the field on the settings screen), the email address shown/entered, your site URL and the site info listed above are sent to create the license. Nothing is sent until you click.
- Checkout and billing (optional): when you choose a paid plan or click “Manage billing”, your license key is sent so we can open a secure Stripe checkout or billing page; payment and card details are handled entirely by Stripe.
No visitor personal data is transmitted, and customer data in WooCommerce emails is never sent for translation. Translations are stored locally in your WordPress database.
