Multilingual — your site in more languages

Free plugin

Multilingual, welcome guests in their language

Your site speaks Italian, English, German or any language you need. Each visitor finds the pages in their language, and Google shows the right version to each country.

Free and open source, from the official catalog: your main language and one more, on one site.

Want more? Multilingual Pro, from €59 a year.

Multilingual

What it does for you

One site, many languages

You keep one site to manage. Every page simply has its versions in the other languages.

Your languages

Your main language and a second one, each with its own address, like /en or /de. More languages come with Multilingual Pro.

Translate with a click

Add translation copies the page into a draft in the other language, ready for you to rewrite.

Automatic translation, with Pro

With Multilingual Pro, connect your DeepL account and new translations arrive already translated, with bold and links kept. You just check them.

Nothing left behind

Changed the original? Its translations show “needs update”, and one page shows what is missing in each language.

A language switcher

Visitors move from one language to another from your theme’s switcher, landing on the same page.

Languages of the site: English and Italian, with their addresses

Languages

Add a language in a click

Choose the language, and its pages get their own address such as /it. The site name and tagline can be translated here too.

Translations: each page next to its Italian version

Translations

See what is still to translate

Every page next to its translations: open one to edit it, or press Translate to start it from the original.

Multilingual

The whole site

Not just pages: everything is translated

Posts, categories and tags, the site name and tagline, the home page, search and the error page: each language has its own.

  • Translation columns in the lists of pages, posts and categories
  • With Pro: posts not translated yet shown in the main language
  • With Pro: a language on its own domain, like example.de
  • Turn it off and nothing is deleted

Questions

What is free, and what comes with Pro?

Multilingual is free for your main language and one more, on one site: translations, addresses, switcher and Google. Multilingual Pro (€59 a year, every site) adds every language, automatic translation with DeepL, a domain per language and posts not translated yet.

I already use more languages: does anything change?

No. Everything your site already has keeps working after the update, languages, DeepL and domains included. Pro is needed only to add more.

What if I haven’t translated everything yet?

No problem. A page without translation simply doesn’t exist in that language; with Pro, posts not translated yet can be listed in the main language.

If I turn it off, do I lose my translations?

No. The site goes back to its main language, and when you turn it on again the other languages come back.

Does it work with my theme?

Yes: the language addresses work with every theme, and themes with a language switcher show it for you.
