About this plugin
The plugin is 100% free and GPL. You can run a fully multilingual WordPress site with manual translations, hreflang sitemap, language switcher and slug translation without ever paying anything or connecting to an external service.
If you also want automatic translation across every language at once, connect the optional Transleti API — flat-rate, unlimited words and languages, backed by a 14-day money-back guarantee. The API is optional: the manual workflow keeps working forever, even if you never subscribe.
Transleti Translator handles posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products, menus, slugs, SEO meta, and theme strings. A built-in visual editor lets you click on any text in the rendered page and refine its translation in a side-by-side panel — useful both for polishing automatic translations and for translating everything by hand.
Two ways to use it
- Manual mode (free, forever) — edit each translation directly in the WordPress post editor or via the visual front-end editor. No API key, no subscription, no external connection required. Includes the language switcher, hreflang sitemap, slug translation and 49+ pre-defined language slots.
- Automatic mode (optional Transleti API) — connect an API key and the plugin fans out translations to every target language in parallel. Flat-rate, unlimited words, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you decide to stop, the plugin keeps working in manual mode. Manual edits on top of automatic translations are preserved on re-translation.
Features
- Free GPL plugin — fully functional in manual mode without any external connection or paid service.
- Visual translation editor — open any front-end page in an editor frame, click on any string (titles, paragraphs, menu items, buttons, image alts) and edit its translation in a side panel with live preview.
- Nothing goes live half-translated — a page only becomes available in a new language once its content, title and SEO description are ready. Until then visitors and search engines get a “translation in progress” response instead of a page that is still half in the source language, so nothing broken ever gets indexed.
- Keeps your site translated on its own — publish a post and it gets translated in the background, in every language. Edit it later and the translations follow. No queue to launch, no per-post action, nothing to remember.
- Manual translation editor — review and refine translations directly in the WordPress post editor for every language.
- Optional unlimited automatic translation — flat-rate Transleti API subscription with a 14-day money-back guarantee. If you do not keep the subscription, the API stops and the plugin keeps working in manual mode.
- Parallel translation (API mode) — requests fan out to every target language simultaneously. A site with 10 languages translates in roughly the same time as a site with 1.
- Built on open source — the plugin itself is GPL, fully auditable, no proprietary lock-in.
- Theme & builder-agnostic — works out of the box with Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, classic editor, GeneratePress and any standards-compliant theme.
- WooCommerce ready — translates product titles, descriptions, attributes and variations. Also supported in Connector Mode (with WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency when running behind WPML).
- Connector Mode for WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress — already using one of them? Keep it in charge of your languages, URLs, switcher and stored translations, and let Transleti act purely as the automatic translation engine behind it. Detected and enabled automatically; no double language switching or duplicate URLs.
- Works with caching plugins — no setup needed. Each language is cached as its own page, a page is cleared from the cache as soon as its translation is ready, and pages still being translated are never stored. Tested with LiteSpeed Cache; also signals WP Rocket and W3 Total Cache. The plugin does not add caching of its own — it stays out of the way of the one you use.
Key features
- Multilingual sitemap with hreflang — separate <url> entries per language (the format Google explicitly documents) with self-referential hreflang and x-default. Compatible with Yoast SEO, RankMath, SEOPress, AIOSEO and the WordPress core sitemap.
- SEO meta translation — titles and descriptions for SEOPress, Yoast, AIOSEO and RankMath.
- Visual translation editor — open any front-end page in an editor frame, click on any string (titles, paragraphs, menu items, buttons, image alts) and edit its translation in a side panel with live preview.
- Manual translation editor — review and refine translations directly in the WordPress post editor for every language.
- Manual edit protection — your manual fixes survive re-translation cycles.
- Slug translation — translated URLs (e.g. /es/contacto/ ) for clean per-language SEO.
- Menu translation — duplicates and translates navigation menus per language.
- HTML entity and shortcode protection — prevents corruption of ©, [shortcode], and similar in translated output.
- Custom “do not translate” word list — keep brand names, product codes and acronyms intact across all languages.
- Language switcher — widget, block and shortcode in flag, dropdown or text styles.
Supported languages
49+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (PT/BR), Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Finnish, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Thai, Turkish, and more.
