About this plugin
WeLocale is an automatic website translation plugin for WordPress. It translates your entire
WordPress website into 50+ languages using AI translation, adds a multilingual language switcher,
and handles hreflang tags for multilingual SEO. Install the plugin, add your App Key, and your
site is multilingual in minutes: no developer, no code changes, no manual translation work.
Whether you want to translate a WordPress blog, a business site, or a WooCommerce store, WeLocale
does the automatic translation for you and lets you review and edit every string afterwards.
Why WeLocale?
- AI-powered – translations are generated automatically, reviewed in your dashboard
- No code changes – one plugin, one App Key, done
- 50+ languages – all major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages
- Built-in language switcher – visitors switch language with one click
- SEO hreflang tags – tell Google which language each page is in (Pro and Scale plans)
- Words stored permanently – your allowance is a stock you buy once, not a monthly rental, and re-translating an edited string does not charge you twice
- Affordable – significantly cheaper than Weglot at every plan level
How it works
- Install and activate this plugin
- Create a free account at welocale.net
- Add your site and copy your App Key
- Paste the App Key in Settings → WeLocale

WeLocale vs Weglot vs TranslatePress vs WPML
- WeLocale – a permanent free plan, then from $15/month. Automatic AI translation, no code
changes. The free plan covers one website, two languages, 5,000 source words and a 3,000
AI-word budget, and it does not expire. AI words are charged per language, so that budget is
what runs out first. Ten languages are included at $15. Your allowance is bought once rather than rented
monthly, and your translations stay in your account even if you cancel. Works on WordPress and on
any other site via one script tag.
- Weglot – from 15 euro/month, and well established since 2016 with a large review base. It
prices by language count, so ten languages sit on the 299 euro plan and twenty on the 699 euro
plan. It also offers much larger word allowances at the top of its range than we do, so price
both if your site is very large.
- TranslatePress – from about $8/month, self-hosted. AI translation is an add-on.
- WPML – from about $39/year, self-hosted. Powerful, but more setup and manual work.
Weglot is a popular, mature product, and its pricing climbs quickly as you add
languages and content. TranslatePress and WPML are self-hosted and give you full control, but they
need more setup and manual work. WeLocale sits in between: automatic AI translation with no code
changes, at a lower price, with ten languages included on the entry plan.
Honest note: if you want to own everything on your own server and pay once, TranslatePress is
genuinely a better fit. If you need translated URL slugs today, WPML is ahead of us there.
What you manage in the dashboard
- Which languages are active
- Translation quality – review and edit any AI translation
- Language switcher appearance
- SEO settings (hreflang, meta tags)
