AI-powered WordPress translation plugin for 248+ languages. Instant visitor-side translation, with paid SEO-ready multilingual pages.

== Description ==

WTranslator is an AI-powered **WordPress Translation Plugin** that helps you translate your WordPress website and make it multilingual with minimal setup. Supporting **248+ languages**, WTranslator enables businesses, bloggers, publishers, and WooCommerce stores to connect with audiences worldwide. The free version provides instant visitor-side translation, while paid plans create crawlable, indexable, and SEO-ready translated pages.

This **WordPress Translation Plugin** combines automatic translation with manual editing, giving you the speed of neural AI translation and control over important content. You can quickly add a customizable language switcher, translate your website without coding, and upgrade when you need advanced multilingual SEO and translation management.

Unlike traditional translation plugins that store and process everything on your WordPress server, WTranslator’s paid plans use a cloud-based **Translation Delivery Network (TDN)**. Translated pages are cached and delivered through the WTranslator cloud, helping your original website remain lightweight and responsive.

Paid plans include search-engine-friendly language URLs, translated URL slugs, hreflang tags, translated metadata, multilingual indexing, an in-context translation editor, translation memory, WooCommerce support, and language hosting. [**WTranslator**](https://wtranslator.com/) does not limit the number of translated words or translated pageviews on paid plans, and automatic translations are included without additional usage charges.

With WTranslator, you can launch a multilingual WordPress website, improve international search visibility, and create more opportunities to grow global traffic, engagement, and sales.

**How to Set Up WTranslator Plugin:**

== Installation ==

**Getting Started is Easy:**

1. Install WTranslator from your WordPress dashboard (Plugins → Add New → Search "WTranslator")
2. Activate the plugin
3. Go to Settings → WTranslator
4. Choose which languages you want to offer
5. Pick your language switcher style (dropdown or flags)
6. Save and you're done!

Your visitors will now see a language switcher on your site and can choose their preferred language.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I need to translate my content manually? =

No! WTranslator uses Google Translate to translate your content when visitors view the site in another language. Activate the plugin, choose your languages, and content is translated for visitors on demand.

= How many languages can I offer? =

You can enable as many languages as you want from our list of 100+ supported languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Russian, and many more.

= Will my visitors' language choice be remembered? =

Yes! When a visitor selects a language, WTranslator remembers their choice so they don't have to select it again on their next visit.

= Does this slow down my website? =

The plugin adds a small script and style bundle. Page HTML is still served by WordPress as usual; translation work happens in the visitor’s browser when they choose another language, similar to using Google Translate in the browser.

= Can visitors switch back to the original language? =

Absolutely! The language switcher always shows all available languages, so visitors can easily switch back and forth.

= Do I need technical knowledge to use this? =

Not at all! WTranslator is designed to be simple. Just install, choose your languages, and it works automatically.

= Does the plugin send data to WTranslator? =

Only if you opt in. By default nothing is sent to our servers. If you enable optional usage sharing, we receive anonymous site details (site URL, site name, plugin/WordPress/PHP versions, and locale). You may optionally also share the WordPress admin email. Translation features work fully without sharing. You can change or revoke this anytime under Settings → WTranslator → Privacy.

== Screenshots ==

1. Language switcher with dropdown menu - visitors can easily select their language
2. Flag-style language switcher - clean and minimal design
3. Settings page - simple configuration in just a few clicks

== External services ==

This plugin uses the following third-party services:

* **Google Translate** – Translation runs in the visitor's browser via Google's Translate Element. No API key required. See: [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms), [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

* **Auto-detect (no third-party)** – Uses only browser Accept-Language and Cloudflare header when present. No IP sent to any service.

* **WTranslator usage sharing (optional, off by default)** – Only after an administrator opts in, the plugin may send site URL, site name, plugin version, WordPress version, PHP version, locale, and an anonymous install ID to `https://app.wtranslator.com/api/v1/plugin-install` to help us improve compatibility. An optional checkbox can also share the WordPress admin email. No page content or visitor personal data is sent. You can turn sharing off anytime. See: [WTranslator Privacy Policy](https://wtranslator.com/privacy).
