TranslatePress

The Translation Plugin for WordPress That Anyone Can Use!

Freemium

Description

TranslatePress is a WordPress plugin designed to simplify the process of making websites multilingual. It offers an intuitive approach by allowing translations to be performed directly on the front-end of the website, providing a live preview of the changes as they are made. This method eliminates the need to navigate complex backend interfaces or separate string translation systems, streamlining the workflow for users of all technical levels. The plugin is built for broad compatibility, working seamlessly with a wide range of WordPress themes, plugins, and popular site builders, including comprehensive support for WooCommerce to ensure smooth translation of e-commerce stores.

The plugin leverages artificial intelligence for automatic translation through leading neural machine translation services such as DeepL, Google Translate, and Microsoft Translator, enabling users to quickly translate their entire website content. While automatic translation provides a strong initial pass, TranslatePress also allows for meticulous manual editing of any translation to ensure accuracy, context, and nuance. As a GPL and self-hosted solution, users retain full ownership of their translations, which are stored directly in their own database. A yearly license grants access to ongoing updates, new features, and premium support, though the core translated site remains functional even if the license is not renewed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does TranslatePress AI work?

TranslatePress AI leverages best-in-class machine translation services (like DeepL and Google Translate) to automatically translate your website. TranslatePress AI will choose the most suitable machine translation engine for any given language pair to ensure maximal translation accuracy. Each premium license gives you access to a certain number of automatically translated words, which can be supplemented by purchasing additional word packages. Your account quota for AI translated words gets replenished with every license renewal.

Where are my translations stored?

All the translations are stored locally in your server's database (your WordPress database). You own your translations forever, and you won't lose any of your translations if you decide to not renew your license.

What happens when my license expires?

Your license is valid for one year from the purchase date. An active license grants you access to TranslatePress AI, automatic updates, new features, and support. License keys automatically renew yearly. If the license expires, your site will continue to work as expected with its existing translations, but you will lose access to updates, support, and new AI translation words.

Can I test out a demo before I buy?

Yes, you can visit the demo site where you can try TranslatePress and all the Pro add-ons without having to install it on your own website.

Do I get access to the Automatic Translation APIs (Google, DeepL) with my TranslatePress Licence?

No, if you wish to use the direct integrations for Google Translate or DeepL (often via specific add-ons), you will need to provide your own API keys from Google or DeepL. Additional costs might be required by these API providers. TranslatePress AI, however, provides AI-translated words as part of its service without requiring your personal API keys for those words.
