As you may have already noticed, the DeepL for WordPress: translation plugin only translates the post title, content and excerpt. This means that vital post meta data is left out of most translations for users.
This plugin extends the functionality of the DeepL for WordPress: translation plugin by enabling you to translate post meta data easily during translations. It integrates nicely with the DeepL for WordPress & DeepL for WordPress pro plugin and is useful for translating post meta for popular plugins like WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Easy Accordion and so on.

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Staleness Detection — Automatically detects when the German source content has changed and marks the translation as outdated.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>
