Best Translation WordPress Plugins
9 plugins · 3.6M combined installs · 4.7/5 avg rating
Translation plugins enable WordPress site owners to create multilingual content by providing tools to translate posts, pages, menus, widgets, and theme strings into one or more languages. Unlike multilingual framework plugins that manage language switching globally, many translation tools focus on string-level or post-level translation workflows, including machine translation via DeepL or Google Translate APIs. They are commonly used by international businesses, NGOs, and publishers who need to maintain separate translated content without duplicating site infrastructure. Translation plugins often support WPML or Polylang compatibility, and some integrate directly with the Gutenberg block editor for inline translation editing.
