NativeSync Chat adds a lightweight live chat widget to your WordPress site with real-time automatic translation. Your customers can write in any language — you’ll see every message translated to your language in your dashboard. When you reply, they see your message in their language.
Perfect for international e-commerce stores, multilingual support teams, and businesses serving customers who speak different languages.
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>2-Way Real-Time Translation — Messages are translated instantly in both directions.</li>
<li>Lightweight Widget — Under 50KB, loads asynchronously, zero impact on page speed.</li>
<li>No Login Required for Customers — Visitors simply type and chat.</li>
<li>Dashboard for Replies — View and reply to all conversations from the NativeSync web dashboard.</li>
<li>Online/Offline Mode — Set custom offline messages when you’re away.</li>

<h4>Plans</h4>
<ul>
<li>Free Plan — 100 translated messages per month, NativeSync branding on widget.</li>
<li>Pro Plan ($29/month) — Unlimited messages, white-label (no branding), priority support.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Register a free account at <a href="https://nativesync.chat" rel="nofollow ugc">NativeSync Dashboard</a>.</li>
<li>Copy your Shop ID from the Dashboard Settings page.</li>
<li>Paste the Shop ID in Settings → NativeSync Chat in your WordPress admin.</li>
<li>Done! A chat bubble appears on your site.</li>
</ol>
<h4>External Service (Important)</h4>
This plugin relies on the NativeSync SaaS platform to function. When the plugin is active and a Shop ID is configured, the following external connections are made:
<ol>
<li>Widget JavaScript is loaded from <code>https://nativesync.chat/widget.min.js</code> on every frontend page where the widget is active. This script renders the chat interface.</li>
<li>Chat messages are sent to and received from the Supabase backend at <code>https://idjchdeiictepcijokzy.supabase.co</code> for real-time messaging and translation.</li>
<li>Translation is performed by the DeepL API on the server side (via Supabase Edge Functions). No direct connection to DeepL is made from the visitor’s browser.</li>
</ol>
No data is collected or transmitted until the site administrator configures a valid Shop ID.

must have


Great plugin. Very useful to be able to translate plugins without an external tool like poedit.


Great tool

I'm using it in all one language projects


We recommend this to all of our clients who ask about translations.



It can even be used to "translate" (alter) default English texts within a plugin/theme too.


Awesome Plugin

Great support!


A must-have plugin for managing the lifecycle of translations in custom plugins and themes. 



There's a steep learning curve to climb when it comes to language and translation management. This plugin helps a lot and works really well.



Also impressed with the speed of response to my help topic. Thanks Tim!


Excellent plugin and support


This is a great tool. I've been using it for years, and it has never let me down.


Simply awesome

Translate WordPress plugins and themes directly in your browser. Versatile PO file editor with integrated AI translation providers.
