2FOX4 Translate to English translates your German WordPress website into English using professional translation APIs. It automatically detects the visitor’s browser language and serves translated content under SEO-friendly <code>/en/</code> URLs.
Translations are stored as native WordPress posts and pages, ensuring full compatibility with SEO plugins like Yoast SEO and RankMath, XML sitemaps, Open Graph tags, and social sharing.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Native WordPress Storage — Translations are real WordPress posts/pages, fully compatible with SEO plugins, sitemaps, and the WordPress ecosystem.</li>
<li>Automatic Language Detection — Detects the browser language via the <code>Accept-Language</code> header and redirects non-German visitors to the English version.</li>
<li>Three Translation Providers — Choose between DeepL, OpenAI (GPT-4o), or Google Cloud Translation. Switch providers at any time.</li>
<li>SEO-Friendly URLs — Translated pages live under <code>/en/</code> (e.g., <code>/en/about-us/</code>) with proper <code>hreflang</code> tags and canonical URLs.</li>
<li>Admin Translation Editor — Side-by-side view with the German original (read-only) and the English translation (editable). Review and refine machine translations before publishing.</li>
<li>Translation Workflow — Four-step status system: Draft, Machine Translated, Reviewed, Published.</li>
<li>Language Switcher — Use the <code>[translatetoenglish_switcher]</code> shortcode to display a DE/EN toggle with flag icons anywhere on your site.</li>
<li>Staleness Detection — Automatically detects when the German source content has changed and marks the translation as outdated.</li>
<li>Hidden in Admin — English translations are hidden from the normal Posts/Pages lists to keep your admin clean. Manage all translations via the dedicated 2FOX4 Translate to English menu.</li>
<li>Extensible Architecture — Hooks and filters allow developers to add custom providers, modify translations, and control behavior.</li>
</ul>
Supported Content:
<ul>
<li>Posts</li>
<li>Pages</li>
</ul>
How It Works:
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to 2FOX4 Translate to English > Settings and enter your API key for your preferred provider.</li>
<li>Open any post or page and click “Translate Now” in the TranslateToEnglish metabox.</li>
<li>Review the translation in the side-by-side editor and publish it.</li>

2FOX4 Translate to English

Automatically translates your German WordPress website into English using DeepL, OpenAI, or Google Translate APIs with full SEO support.

adaratranslate

Adara Translate adds a sidebar to the block editor that translates the post you’re editing into any supported language. The translation is saved as a new draft post linked to the original — review it, edit it, and publish when ready.
Connect the plugin to your Adara Translate account with an API key. Translation engines available: DeepL, Google, Microsoft, GPT, and Gemini.
v0.1 covers posts and pages. WooCommerce, SEO meta, menus, and a language switcher are on the roadmap.
This plugin is a service-backed plugin. It requires an Adara Translate account and sends post content to the Adara Translate API to perform translations — see the External services section below for full details.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Adara Translate API to perform translations. Adara Translate is a third-party service operated by Adara Translate. The plugin will not function without it — translations are not performed on your WordPress server.
What the plugin sends and when
The plugin sends data to Adara Translate only when an editor clicks Translate in the Gutenberg sidebar (or invokes the plugin’s REST endpoint). For each translation, the plugin sends:
<ul>
<li>The text content of the post being translated. This includes the post title, excerpt, paragraph and heading text, and a curated set of translatable text attributes for known core blocks (button labels, image alt text and captions, quote citations, search labels, etc.).</li>
<li>The target language code (e.g. <code>es</code>) and, if you’ve selected one, the source language code and translation engine.</li>
<li>Your Adara Translate API key, sent in an <code>X-API-Key</code> request header so Adara can authenticate the request and bill credits to your account.</li>
</ul>
The plugin does not send: your WordPress username or email, site URL, post IDs, post slugs, draft history, or the contents of <code>core/code</code>, <code>core/html</code>, <code>core/shortcode</code>, or <code>core/freeform</code> blocks.
Where the data goes
Requests are sent over HTTPS to <code>https://www.adaratranslate.com/api/translation/translate</code> (configurable in Settings → Adara Translate if you self-host Adara). Adara Translate routes each request to the translation engine you select — DeepL, Google Cloud Translation, Microsoft Translator, OpenAI (GPT), or Google Gemini — and returns the translated text. The selected engine processes the post content as a sub-processor; please review the engine’s own terms before sending sensitive content.
