<p>Just tag parts of your text to be in different languages, and a flag will appear next to the text and allows users to switch between them.</p>
<p>No other elements of the blog will be translated.</p>
<p>Use <code>[:gb]</code> to specify that the following text part is english, or use any other two char language code.<br />
To use one text block in multiple languages use e.g. <code>[:gb,de]</code>, which is handy for parts like images.<br />
Write <code>[:*]</code> to use the block in all (within the text already known) languages.<br />
You can without any problem mix many of those tags. e.g. <code>[:gb]english-intro[:de]german-intro[:*]common image[...]</code>.</p>
<p>Optionally also the title of a text can be multilingual, but requires theme modification.</p>
<p>The flags can be placed:</p>
<ul>
<li>next to the text. This is the default and do work out of the box.</li>
<li>next to the title. This requires a template change.</li>
<li>an other place. If you would like to place e.g. the flags in a widget (which is included).</li>
</ul>
<h3>Thanks</h3>
<p>Thanks to:</p>
<ul>
<li>zorun for the flags</li>
<li>Tamas, Anton for beta testing</li>
</ul>
<h3>Contributing</h3>
<p>You may overwork the readme and also the other texts… that would be great.</p>
<p>If you have ideas/bugs please contact me.</p>
<h3>Code</h3>
<p>The package also contains an version for PHP5.3+. The file is functional identical to the other one (which only requires PHP 5.2) but makes usage of a nice new feature and is easier to read/write.</p>
<p>When WordPress requires PHP5.3+ (sometime in the future) that file will be used.</p>
<h3>Flags</h3>
<p>The flags are from http://www.free-country-flags.com/ and under CC-BY-SA License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).</p>

Translate Multilingual sites – TranslatePress

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

Translate your entire site directly from the front-end and go multilingual. Full support for WooCommerce, page builders + Google Translate integration
