Polylang

Works great for the translations of a WordPress website

Great plugin for i18n


If i need multilingual solution, only polylang


Good plugin


Faster and lighter than WPML, easy to configure and manage.


Fast, easy to use, reliable

works fine!


A few quirks here and there, but handles this complicated task very, very well, and with a good interface. 🫶


Simply marvelous


If you are using FSE then you cant translate templates and this makes the polylang useless


Not working with basic tool - native wordpress editor


The only issue is you cannot pair existing translations - or if there this feature already exists, I haven't found it. Otherwise it works well.


I am very happy with free version


Thanks to developers of this excellent work.Many filter hooks and functions to use for developers.Using built-in core tables on database is smart.


Great Work


It works very well, even with block themes, as long as it's used together with Site Editor Classic Features.



Thank you!


Works great, thank you!


Plugin cumpri com tudo que promete, simples de ser instalado e tudo que tiver duvida o forum resolve os problemas.



Vale muito a pena a versão free dele da para desenvolver muito projeto com ele.


Excelente


It does what it needs to do and is free!


Works great

Nice and easy!


This plugin works great for creating multilingual websites. I have been using it on a couple of my websites and it does its work perfectly.


Works like a charm!


Indispensable if you want to create a multilingual website. It integrates well with other plugins, eliminating unnecessary stress.


A true standard

Great plugin

Go multilingual in a simple and efficient way. Keep writing posts and taxonomy terms as usual while defining their languages all at once.

Ray Enterprise Translation offers convenient cloud-based localization and translation for WordPress by simplifying the process of creating and maintaining your multilingual website. Features include machine, professional, and community translation solutions that ease the manual burden of launching in new markets while improving language consistency, cutting costs, and enabling you to deliver your brand to consumers abroad in the quickest and most effective way possible.
Make your WordPress website content truly multilingual. The power to translate is now inside WordPress!
<h4>Customizable Translation Workflows</h4>
WordPress administrators use Translation Profiles to categorize content by its relative value. You associate each content type with a Translation Profile, and the plugin carries out the appropriate workflow:
<ul>
<li>
Professional – The plugin enables you to use your own translation agency or tap into Ray Enterprise’s marketplace of more than 5,000+ in-country translators. Don’t have time to manage your own translation project? Let Ray Enterprise take care of it for you. The plugin fully automates file transfer between WordPress and Ray Enterprise. You’ll have full visibility into the translation process every step of the way. And once the translations are completed, they’ll automatically download and publish to your website according to the preferences you’ve set.
</li>
<li>
Community – If you’re looking to save money by avoiding professional translation, you can take the do-it-yourself approach and have your bilingual employees, partners and/or users perform translations right within WordPress. The plugin integrates with and provides use of the Ray Enterprise Workbench, a professional-grade text editor used for translating, reviewing, and post-editing multilingual content.
</li>
<li>
Free Automatic – Machine translation is an excellent option if you’re on a tight budget, looking for near-instant results, and are okay with less-than-perfect quality. The plugin allows you to automatically translate your site by providing the commercial API for Microsoft Translator. You can upload up to 20,000 processed words in the Ray Enterprise system for free (we calculate processed words by multiplying the source word count by the number of requested translations). Machine translations can be post-edited at any time using the Ray Enterprise Workbench.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cloud-Based Translation Management System</h4>
Need access to an enterprise level Translation Management System designed to work directly with WordPress and other content management systems, allowing you complete transparent access with all your translation projects? The cloud-based Ray Enterprise Translation Management Systems helps your business access new markets and customers. Contact sales@lingotek.com for more information and pricing of these features.
<h4>Benefits</h4>
<ul>
<li>Cost Savings</li>
<li>Faster Translation Times</li>
<li>Higher Quality</li>
<li>Real-time Monitoring</li>
<li>Eliminate the Copy/Paste Method of Translating</li>
<li>Increased Involvement and Loyalty</li>
<li>In-context Review</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
Ray Enterprise works in conjuction with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/polylang/" rel="ugc">Polylang</a> plugin (the plumbing to make WordPress multilingual ready) allowing you to create a bilingual or multilingual WordPress site. You write posts, pages, and create categories and post tags as usual, and then define the language for each of them.
<ul>
<li>You can use as many languages as you want. RTL language scripts are supported. WordPress languages packs are automatically downloaded and updated.</li>
<li>You can translate posts, pages, media, categories, post tags, menus, widgets…</li>
<li>Custom post types, custom taxonomies, sticky posts and post formats, RSS feeds and all default WordPress widgets are supported.</li>
<li>The language is either set by the content or by the language code in the url, or you can use one different subdomain or domain per language.</li>
<li>Categories, post tags, and some other metas are automatically copied when adding a new post or page translation.</li>
<li>A customizable language switcher is provided as a widget or in the nav menu.</li>
<li>The admin interface is of course multilingual too and each user can set the WordPress admin language in its profile.</li>
<li>We now support localization of pages created with Elementor</li>
<li>We maintain the privacy of free automatic users by deleting all completed content from our TMS older than one month and active content older than two months. To ensure this does not affect your translated content, please download your translation soon after they are complete, or set your download settings to automatic. Enterprise customers should coordinate with client success about their community’s archive and deletion timeframes.</li>
</ul>

Ray Enterprise Translation

it seems like the plugin is not maintained anymore, which is very unfortunate.
Currently on activation I saw many things not working as expected.

The first problem I encountered was that I wasn't able to connect my Lingotek account while the plugin Rank Math SEO Plugin was active. I checked the logs to see whats happening under the hood (nothing specific to RM but some warnings due to ternary operators which will cause fatal errors in PHP 8).

The UI is not very intuitive and feels like not been touched for years.
I am also not that happy with the machine translation (it's like google translate in 2010).

But of course community and professional translations can help translating pages faster so the plugin is not completly useless.

It just needs a major update!

needs a major update

Waste of time

Convenient cloud-based localization and translation for WordPress.
