Clearyvo Translate – Multilingual Website Translation & SEO

Clearyvo Translate is a multilingual plugin that translates your whole WordPress website – pages, posts, menus, widgets, page builder content, WooCommerce pages and SEO tags – right on the front end, with a visual translation editor and a language switcher.

Start in seconds: activate 5,000 free automatic translation words with one click – no API key, no credit card – and fine-tune everything in the visual editor.

Multilingual SEO is included: translated URL slugs, translated SEO titles and meta descriptions, hreflang tags and a multilingual sitemap, so every language can rank in search.

Visual translation editor

Open any page from the admin bar (“Translate page”), click a text and type the translation. The preview updates live, so you always see the translated website exactly as visitors will.

• Click-to-translate on the real page, with any theme or page builder
• Sentences with links and bold or italic words stay one string – translations read naturally and keep their formatting
• Search, “untranslated only” filter and keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl/⌘ + Enter saves and jumps to the next string)
• Strings list for bulk work: SEO strings, page text and image ALT text in separate filters

Multilingual SEO

• SEO-friendly language URLs – example.com/en/, example.com/de/
• Translated URL slugs – /en/about-us/ instead of /en/rolunk/, with automatic 301 redirects to the translated URL
• Translated SEO title and meta description – works with Clearyvo SEO, Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress, AIOSEO or any theme
• Translated Open Graph and Twitter Card tags for social sharing
• Translated image ALT text and title attributes for image SEO
• hreflang and x-default tags on every page, generated automatically
• Localized canonical URL, og:url, og:locale and html lang attribute
• Multilingual XML sitemap – translated URLs in the WordPress sitemap, Yoast SEO and Rank Math sitemaps

Automatic translation – no API key

• 5,000 free automatic translation words with Clearyvo Translate AI – one click to activate, no API key, no credit card (a one-time allowance per site)
• Machine translation with DeepL that keeps links and formatting
• Translate a whole page or all untranslated strings in one click, then fine-tune in the visual editor
• Prefer your own account? Use your own Google Cloud Translation API key instead – unlimited, billed by Google to your own account
• All 31 supported languages – add as many as you need
• Manual translation is always unlimited

Language switcher with flags

• Floating language switcher in any corner – top right, top left, bottom right or bottom left
• Country flags, language names (English, Deutsch, Magyar) or short codes (EN, DE, HU) – or any combination
• Compact dropdown or a list of all languages side by side
• Choose the UK or US flag for English and the Portugal or Brazil flag for Portuguese
• Or place [clearyvo_language_switcher] in a menu, header, footer or widget

Works with your site

• Translates the final page output, so it works with any theme, page builder (block editor, Elementor, Divi and others) and plugin
• WooCommerce translation: product, cart, checkout and account pages are translated, and WooCommerce AJAX requests keep the visitor’s language
• Page cache friendly: every language has its own URL
• Exclude any element with class="notranslate" or translate="no"
• Lightweight: no external scripts on your front end, translations stored in your own database
• 31 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Croatian, Slovenian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Greek, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic

External services

Automatic translation is optional. Nothing is sent anywhere until you activate it in Clearyvo Translate → Settings → Automatic translation.

Clearyvo Translate AI (api.clearyvo.com) – used when you click “Activate 5,000 free words” and choose Clearyvo Translate AI.

• On activation: your site address, the plugin version and a one-time verification code are sent, and the service opens yoursite.com/?clearyvo_translate_verify=1 once to confirm the site is yours.
• While it is activated: the remaining word balance is requested with your site key when you open the plugin’s admin pages (at most every 5 minutes, every minute while the balance is 0).
• When translating automatically: the texts to translate and the language codes are sent with your site key. The service is operated by Clearyvo (Polyforge AM Kft., Hungary) on Cloudflare and uses DeepL SE (Germany) for the translation. Texts are not stored; only word and character counts are kept for the quota. The 5,000 free words are a one-time allowance per site. DeepL privacy policy
• Every request carries the standard WordPress User-Agent (WordPress version and your site address). This plugin sends no license key and no other data.
• “Disconnect” in Settings, and deleting the plugin, revoke your site key on the service (only the site key is sent).
• Privacy policy, Terms of service

Your own API key – when you choose Google and enter your own key, the texts and language codes are sent directly from your server to Google:

• Google Cloud Translation – used when “Google Cloud Translation” is selected. Endpoint: translation.googleapis.com. Terms, Privacy policy

Usage is billed by the provider to your own account.

The “Scan site” button requests your own site’s pages (loopback requests to your own domain only) to collect translatable strings.
