TranslateWP helps you make your WordPress site available in more languages. Connect your site, choose your translation languages and add a language switcher. AI translates your page content using your site’s context and writing preferences.

Prepare translations ahead of visits or translate content when it is requested. Finished translations are reused, and changes to your source content are picked up for translation again. Your original pages stay in place: no duplicate pages, no translation tables.

Need to edit translations or use your own AI provider? Orbital (Pro) adds the translation editor, advanced SEO tools, the Side tab switcher and your own AI providers through the separate TranslateWP Pro addon.

Built by the team behind Code Snippets.

Included in the free plugin

AI translation with site context. Read your site during setup and guide translations with your writing preferences.
Your own Lexicon. Set preferred translations for product names, specialist terms and recurring phrases in each language.
Tone and style controls. Adjust tone, formality and creativity to suit your content.
Six switcher placements. Use a floating switcher, menu item, classic widget, the [twp-languages] shortcode, the Language Switcher block or a Button block configured as a switcher.
A translation dashboard. See indexed pages, translation progress, language coverage and work that needs attention.
Updates that follow your content. Source changes are picked up so translations can be refreshed.
Language addresses and hreflang. Give translated versions their own language addresses and identify them for search engines.
Roles and multisite. Choose who may edit translations, retranslate, manage settings or manage the Lexicon. Editing translated text requires the Pro translation editor. Network administrators can set defaults for sites in a network.

TranslateWP requires a connected TranslateWP account and its online translation service, including on the free plan. Setup guides you through connecting your site. You do not need to change DNS or move your site.

TranslateWP Pro

Orbital (Pro) extends the free plugin with the separate TranslateWP Pro addon:

Translation editor. Review and correct translated text on your site.
Advanced SEO tools. Manage translated metadata, image alt text and additional search-engine options.
Side tab switcher. Offer a language tab along the edge of the page.
Additional writing controls. Refine translations for your audience, length and cultural adaptation.
Your own AI providers. Connect supported providers and choose a fallback order for each language. Your provider bills for that usage.

The addon requires an eligible TranslateWP account. Once eligibility is confirmed, the free plugin offers to install it. Installing the addon by itself does not unlock Pro features.

Plans and fair use

Every plan includes AI translation with a fair-use allowance per 30 days. When your account reaches its allowance, translated pages keep working for visitors and new translation pauses until the window moves on. On Orbital, add your own AI key to keep going.

Terrestrial (Free): Fair-use allowance per 30 days.
Orbital (Pro): A higher fair-use allowance. Add your own AI key for more volume, billed by your provider.
Universal (Agency): Agreed with you, above the Orbital allowance.

External services and privacy

TranslateWP connects to api.translatewp.ai to register your connected site, generate and retrieve translations, report translation progress and check which features your account may use.

The plugin also uses app.translatewp.ai, the TranslateWP account portal, to sign in and connect your site, view account information and access plans and upgrades.

After account eligibility is confirmed, the free plugin can download, install and update the Pro addon package from the TranslateWP service.

Translation and site-reading features send the page content selected for processing, along with information such as the site host, home URL, selected languages and translation instructions. The service processes that content to provide translations. This includes content supplied in the site’s context and Lexicon when it is needed for a translation.

The plugin also sends sampled translation timing, completion and count measurements to help diagnose delivery performance. These performance reports do not contain page text or full page URLs.

When you connect your site or use these features, the TranslateWP service is involved. Review what you make available for translation and exclude private or sensitive content that should not be processed before scanning or translating your site.

Using your own AI provider on Pro also makes the provider’s terms and privacy policy relevant to the content it processes.
