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Staleness Detection — Automatically detects when the German source content has changed and marks the translation as outdated.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>
<li>Visitors with a non-German browser language are automatically redirected to the <code>/en/</code> version.</li>
</ol>
