Force Update Translations

Just suggest translations to your language on translate.wordpress.org but not always need to wait for approval.

One-click fix!

Very useful

When I translate plugins or themes I need to see partial translations to check I'm doing right. Exporting .mo files was boring me... just when I found this plugin!
Very useful. Thank you for developing it.

Essential for WP translators!

Bad description of the features in the readme: no possibility to import translations for themes.
Bad support.

False advertisement

I am so glad to find this plugin. We have international users for our plugin that help out by submitting translations. The problem is, there is no way for them to use the translations until it goes through a formal approval process.

This is a wonderful solution, we can point our users to this plugin so they can use the translations right away.

Thanks so much for making this!

Amazing

Oh, this is an awesome plugin so I fully localize this plugin's UI and page for zh_TW.

Awesome plugin

TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation

Easy to use and well supported, thanks ;-)

Great plugin


Very Helpful!



Very Helpful for my education website! The team are super nice and kind to help me improve my site user experience.


Very Helpful!


When you want to run a website with more than just one language without making it too complicated give it a try!


TranslatePress does the job


A great plugin to easily offer the website in multiple languages. TranslatePress also allows authors to maintain translations and translate new texts. The optimization for SEO is also very good, so that our website can now be found in different languages. We love this plugin and don't want to use any other. The best thing is that the loading times do not slow down and the website is still available in multiple languages.


We love many languages - easy possible with TranslatePress


I discovered TranslatePress while looking for a way to translate our site into multiple languages. I noticed from Google Search Console that some of our content was getting impressions for keywords in other languages. That made me realize it was time to go multilingual.



After researching different translation plugins, TranslatePress stood out for being simple, affordable, and packed with useful features. I especially loved the visual front-end translation interface and the AI translation option. Once I enabled AI translation, it started translating everything automatically, no manual work needed.



What really makes TranslatePress the best:




Easy to set up and use



SEO-friendly (translates meta titles, descriptions, and sitemaps)



Great performance and stability



Ai translation



Excellent support team




Since using TranslatePress, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in international traffic. It's helped us reach new audiences without extra effort.



Highly recommended for anyone serious about growing a multilingual WordPress site.


The Best WordPress Translation Plugin


I’ve been using TranslatePress for over five years now, and it has been one of the most solid and reliable plugins in my entire WordPress setup.



What truly stands out is its flexibility. I honestly can’t think of a single element on my website that I wasn’t able to translate. From pages to dynamic content, everything is accessible and manageable directly from the front end, which makes the whole process intuitive and efficient.



As someone who works professionally with language and has become more involved in building and refining my site, I’ve come to appreciate just how powerful this plugin really is. It strikes a rare balance between simplicity and depth: easy to use on the surface, yet incredibly capable when you need full control.



TranslatePress is practical, well-designed, and simply works. It has been a key part of my website for years, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about multilingual WordPress.


Powerful, flexible, and the best translation plugin I’ve used


As developer, simplicity is absolutely key for me. And that is what I found with this plugin.



I missed some options on the free version, such as title, tagline, and other metatags translation support. But for quick purposes, translating content pages was absolutely easy.


A very simple translation plugin


Amzing plugin to translate but maybe need include more IA providers, but for a simple website work great


Great plugin!

Translate your site visually, directly from the front-end. Go multilingual in minutes using automatic AI translation. Works with any theme or plugin.
