   I use PolyLang because it has a great integration in Elementor. If someone uses Elementor like I do, there are quite a few quality extension plugins for PolyLang for Elementor blocks. Thanks to this, I was able to convert the website completely into English and Czech. This is what I missed with other plugins and what made it impossible for me to make other elements of the site bilingual in addition to articles and pages. So, for me, PolyLang is really one of the best plugins for multilingual websites.

   having multilingual websites becomes a need at times and knowing small tweaks to achieve is a fantastic idea.
   I used to think that we would need to manually translate the whole website and then turn the website into multilingual.
   Manual translation is good in terms of accuracy but that requires language expert or hiring a language expert.
   But these translation plugins opens the door for a while lot of options.
   Thanks for these multilingual plugin options.

   Why use a plugin anyway? The Web browsers themselves offer translation intrinsically.

     That is an automatic translation, some sites have multilingual content that they write for their users.

   Out of the 9 plugins, I have tried Weglot and it worked good for us. Will give other plugins also a try.

   Nice article!

   What I would like to see is a similar comparison specifically for WooCommerce webshops (possibilities for translation of products, categories, tags, global attributes etc. and functions like sending emails in customer’s language, synchronisation of cart across domains etc.)

   Next to specific WooCommerce functions the comparison should take into account the most important aspect ever for e-commerce: a comparison based on website performance. As many other I worked with WPML a lot and in pretty much all cases activating WPML immediately adds an average of 2-3 seconds of loading time.

   Best regards,

   Nick

   Can you make an article about new multilingual plugins and their capabilities?
   For example, ConveyThis, Yaglot, MultilingualPress and others

   Developers of new plug-ins usually listen to users better.

     We will keep an eye on new plugins as well as these old ones for which we feel are best

    I’ve used WPML for many projects and I was never really happy. It kills the site loading speed. And nowadays the speed is everything. I heard from a system administrator that the best one is MultilingualPress because it uses the multisite network. But I still didn’t try yet. Just heard. But it makes sense.

    Hi, I’m interested in setting up a multilingual discussion forum where each person would be able to read and contribute to the discussion in their own language. The forum content would automatically translate according to the language preference of the user.
    Is this possible, feasible, how?

    Thanks for any help

    Hi,

    thank you for this helping article. What I am missing though is on how to approach to this topic of translation of my blog as a beginner. It is fine to have an overview like this but the real pros and cons is what I need for a proper decision to choose the one which works for the individual blogging page.

    Like is a plugin fast or slow, does it affect my webpages and how, which is best to use on a small slower server as an example. Which ones can translate menus and taxonomies and which not. Which one has a good User Interface and very important: which ones offer Support Services. From what I know up to now is, best is to choose one plugin and stay with it forever since a change causes some problems or leaves some « trash » behind. etc.

    I would like to go with qTranslateX but I am thinking about getting WPML for my new lightweight blog. Have read that it was very heavy two years ago due to database queries but it is said that it is fixed now and has more speed. I definitely don’t want to use a plugin that slows me down since I am on a budget and not using big and faster server yet.

    Thank you for your very good content on all your pages.
    Cheers,
    EFE

    Thanks for the plugin suggestions. I’m using a custom static page as a homepage, I’m wondering which plugin can I use to support this. I installed Polylang and my static front page doesn’t work the way I coded it – the content displays, but all the code pertaining to the template no longer gets loaded. I wonder if there are free plugins which don’t have this issues or if there’s a way around it.

    Hello! Do any of these plugins translate the language coming from another plugin? Eg. if I put a plugin for lets say horoscopes in english on my site, will any of these plugins detect the language of the horoscope plugin and translate it?

    thanks in advance!

    « The Ultimate Wordpress Toolkit » does not tell the reader whether the Tool or Program is to be used for Wordpress.com or Wordpress.org.

    Could you please tell me which program they are to be used for?

    I have a client that wants to translate his English site to Spanish and Chinese? Any suggestions? He would like to know the Three best plugins paid or Free?

    I want to know how much time it takes to install and have these up and running? I have read the comments above, but time involved is not mentioned? I have never installed a translation plugin and need to give a fair quote for both parties.

    You may also want to take a look at the GTS Translation plugin.

    Hi there,

    I use Polylang. Works fine.
    One question, though. How do you all cope with the subscribers to your site? I use Jetpack as my subscription program. In the ideal world, I would like to have my English subscribers to only get notified of the English new posts. And the same for the Dutch ones. Howevery, Jetpack can not do that. I checked with their customer support. So now, all my subscribers get notifications of both Dutch and English posts. This is certainly not ideal. I know I would opt out of mailing lists that send me ‘double’ info.
    Who also has the same problem, and is there a solution?

    Please advise.
    Thanks in advance!

      We will recommend you to use MailChimp or Aweber instead. You will need to create different lists that your users can subscribe to. You can either add dynamic signup forms for each language or you can add a signup form with checkboxes for different lists. Take a look at how we do it to create daily and weekly email newsletter.

    I used Transposh for a while, and I liked it because its machine generated translations were able to be found in search engines (leading to a boost in international traffic), but I had to deactivate and remove it because it was causing loads of javascript errors.

    Do any of the machine translation plugins mentioned above allow the translated material to be indexed by search engines?

    Répondre

    • Fabrice

      I have exactly the same problem : Transposh stopped working in some cases (not all the text are translated, and on the post page, it does just no more work) – This was a good solution for me, as Katie says : the translations are indexed by search engines.
      So, does anyone know a similar plugin which will allow to save the translations in the code, in order to be indexed by the search engines ? Katie, could you find a solution ? Thanks !

    I believe it’s not the first time I make this comment on a similar article: please don’t mix multilingual plugins with automated translation plugins. You’re not contributing to clarify the concept of multilingual content to new users.

    Make two different articles, one for each.

    As to multilingual plugins, I believe MultilingualPress should definitely be mentioned. Your readers would also appreciate to know the differences between those plugins, regarding the way they’re implemented. An alert should be issued to the fact that some of these plugins, like qTranslate did, will leave behind a trail of extra content in your posts and pages in case you decide to use a different plugin.

    Répondre

    • WPBeginner Support

      Thanks for the feedback. We did try to keep the difference. The title of the article is translation plugins not multilingual plugins. We also kept the multilingual plugins and machine translation plugins apart in the list.

      Do not use qtranslate people its never updated and can seriously screw up your website!!

    Choose wisely, because mostly it is very difficult to switch to an other plugin later!

    An other option for a multilingual blog would be a multisite installation. There is a interesting plugin supporting this setup: Multilingual Press (recently the pro version got free, but you have to pay for support if needed)

    This approach is a very clean and would still work after removing the plugin. As disadvantage you need to duplicate all media then, since there is no central media-library. It is not very easy to use in shops too, since it is difficult to synchronize inventory between different sites. Finally, some plugins do not support multisite installation (or ask you to buy a pro version, like SNAP)

    I recommend everybody to forget about the plugins that translate texts with the help of Google or Bing. The results are often terrible and just wrong. The fault lies not in the plugin itself but in the poor results that are delivered by Google or Bing. Whenever I come across a text that has been translated automatically, I go through the process of 1) wondering about the confusing gibberish and b) search for the article in its native language.

    I guess you have forgotten Genesis Translations by Remkus de Vries.

    It’s a simple plugin that translates perfect to danish for example.

    Though it is made for Genesis Framework, but if one is using this, it is a very good plugin.
