<p><strong>Instant website translation and SEO to grow your global traffic. Get lang prefixes, hreflang tags, and automated sitemaps for Google. No complex DNS setup needed. Launch your multilingual store or site in 60 seconds.</strong></p>
<h4>Why Proxylang</h4>
<p>WordPress translation generally takes one of three approaches:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Database plugins</strong>: store duplicated translated content in your database and often involve manual translation work.</li>
<li><strong>DNS proxies</strong>: require CNAME or nameserver changes that some managed hosts don’t allow.</li>
<li><strong>Browser translate widgets</strong>: translate in the visitor’s browser but aren’t indexed by search engines.</li>
</ul>
<p>Proxylang gives you real indexed per-language URLs, server-rendered SEO for search crawlers, and instant in-browser translation for visitors — with no DNS changes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Real per-language URLs (<code>yoursite.com/es-MX/about</code>) indexed by Google</li>
<li>AI translation in 68 languages with context-aware quality</li>
<li>Server-rendered translated HTML for search-engine bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity)</li>
<li>Instant client-side translation for human visitors. No page re-render</li>
<li>Auto-generated hreflang tags, per-language XML sitemaps, robots.txt</li>
<li>WooCommerce Product JSON-LD localized for Google Shopping rich results</li>
<li>Translation glossary so brand terms always render the way you want</li>
<li>Full analytics dashboard with anonymous visitor tracking, languages, countries, top pages</li>
<li>Zero DNS setup. Install plugin, paste keys, you’re live</li>
</ul>
<h4>Account required</h4>
<p>This plugin connects WordPress to the Proxylang translation network. <strong>You’ll need a free Proxylang account at <a href="https://proxylang.dev" rel="nofollow ugc">proxylang.dev</a> to use the plugin.</strong> Sign-up takes 30 seconds. The free tier translates 2,000 words/month at no cost. Enough for most small business sites. Higher tiers scale with traffic. See <a href="https://proxylang.dev/pricing" rel="nofollow ugc">proxylang.dev/pricing</a>.</p>
<h4>Who is this for?</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>WordPress sites going international</strong>: blogs, agencies, SaaS marketing sites, portfolios.</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce stores selling cross-border</strong>: products, variations, cart, checkout, and Product schema all translate automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Sites on managed hosts</strong> that don’t allow DNS changes: Kinsta, WP Engine, WordPress.com Business+, Pressable, and similar.</li>
<li><strong>Agencies managing multilingual clients</strong>: install once, manage translations from one dashboard.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works under the hood</h4>
<p>When a visitor lands on <code>/es-MX/about</code>, the plugin inspects the request:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Search-engine bot</strong> (Googlebot, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.): plugin fetches a fully translated HTML page from Proxylang’s edge network and serves it directly. Indexable, hreflang-annotated, no JavaScript required.</li>
<li><strong>Human visitor</strong>: plugin redirects to your source URL (<code>/about</code>) and sets a language cookie. Your page then loads with a tiny script that translates visible content client-side. No full re-render, no flicker, and your address bar stays clean.</li>
</ul>
<p>Translations are cached at 300+ edge locations and inside your WordPress install, so repeat visitors see instant translated pages.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>AI translation in 68 languages with brand-context awareness</li>
<li>Translates both search engines and visitors. Bots see pre-rendered translated HTML, real visitors see live in-browser translation</li>
<li>Per-language <code>sitemap.xml</code>, <code>robots.txt</code>, hreflang, og:locale, content-language headers</li>
<li><strong>Translation glossary</strong>: override AI translations for brand terms or any specific phrase</li>
<li><strong>Full analytics dashboard</strong>: visitors, languages, countries, top pages, growth over time. All anonymous and aggregated</li>
<li>WooCommerce Product JSON-LD localization for Google Shopping</li>
<li>Compatible with W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, and other page caches</li>
<li>Translation cache invalidation via signed HMAC webhooks. No manual purge</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly. No visitor PII, cookies, or form submissions sent to Proxylang</li>
<li>Works with any theme, page builder, or block editor (Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, Bricks, etc.)</li>
<li>WordPress 6.5+ and PHP 7.4+ supported</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Proxylang translation service. <strong>The plugin will not function without contacting these services.</strong> Translation cannot happen entirely on your server. Proxylang runs the AI translation pipeline, edge cache, and dashboard.</p>
<p>What data is sent and when:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>proxylang.dev</strong>: configuration, plugin registration, daily heartbeat.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>POST https://proxylang.dev/api/proxylang/plugin/register</code>: sent on plugin activation. Transmits: your public key (Authorization header), plugin version, your site’s home URL, REST webhook URL, requested mode.</li>
<li><code>POST https://proxylang.dev/api/proxylang/plugin/heartbeat</code>: sent once per day. Transmits: your public key, plugin version, mode, home URL.</li>
<li><code>POST https://proxylang.dev/api/proxylang/plugin/config</code>: sent on settings save and twice daily. Transmits: your public key. Returns: enabled languages, source language, registered domain.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>proxy.proxylang.dev</strong> (server-to-server, from your WordPress server): translated HTML and sitemap delivery.</p>
<ul>
<li><code>GET https://proxy.proxylang.dev/v1/render?domain=…&path=…&lang=…</code>: sent when a search-engine bot requests a <code>/{lang}/*</code> URL. Transmits: your public key (X-Proxylang-Key header), the requesting visitor’s User-Agent (X-Proxylang-Visitor-UA header), requested path, language.</li>
<li><code>GET https://proxy.proxylang.dev/v1/sitemap?domain=…&lang=…</code>: sent when WordPress requests a per-language sitemap. Transmits: your public key, language code.</li>

<li><code>GET https://proxy.proxylang.dev/v1/script-bundle?key=…&lang=…&path=…</code>: fetched (and <code><link rel="preload"></code>-hinted) by that script to retrieve cached translations for the current page and language. Transmits: your public key, target language, page path. No visitor personal data is sent.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin does NOT send visitor personal data, cookies, form submissions, IP addresses, or session content to Proxylang. Only the request URL path and the visitor’s User-Agent string are transmitted (the User-Agent is required so that bot translations can be metered per crawler). Logged-in administrator previews skip Proxylang entirely and serve the origin page directly.</p>
<p>Translation caches live entirely on your WordPress install (in object cache or transients) and on Proxylang’s edge network. No per-visitor records are stored. Analytics are collected anonymously and aggregated (country, language, page path) for the dashboard.</p>
<p>For European customers: Proxylang is GDPR-compliant. See the privacy policy linked above for the full data-processing agreement.</p>

Translate WordPress with Weglot – Multilingual AI Translation

I'm not an authority on translated text, but as far as I can see the automatic translation works well and we are also able to add our manual transitions where needed. Support is reliable, helpful and fast.

Works well!

Awesome

Very easy to use and very helpful support. Recommended. 

Easy to use and very helpful support


It does not have a free option, it gives only a free trial. You can easily reach their 2000 words limit. Maybe with 2-3 posts? Why are wordpress admins still keeping this plugin here? Lots of plugins here only offer a free trial or pro features and they keep advertising these plugins here. They can advertise their paid plugin on their website.


Why this plugin is here?

Great plugin and support!


We’ve been using Weglot on our client’s site for 2 years now, and we’re super satisfied with it! It’s a very complex project with custom-built translations for specific site needs, and Weglot fits perfectly alongside them.



The plugin provides fast and high-quality translations that make managing a multilingual site so much easier.



Their support team is amazing—fast, friendly, and super knowledgeable.



If you’re looking for a multilingual solution for WordPress, we highly recommend Weglot!


Good tool with grate support


Una manera sencilla y rápida de tener traducida una web. El soporte que ofrece Weglot es excelente, me han resuelto varias dudas de forma rápida y eficiente.


Buen plugin y buen soporte


We recently encountered an issue where enabling the Weglot plugin caused blank PDFs when using PDF Invoices & Packing Slips for WooCommerce. The Weglot team was incredibly responsive — they quickly identified the cause and released a fix. After updating to the latest version, everything is working perfectly again.



It's rare to see such fast and effective support. Weglot not only offers a great translation solution but also backs it up with excellent customer service. Highly recommended!


Fast and Effective Support!


I want to thank all the people who helped me with my issue. Even though it looked like it was impossible to find a solution they did it in the end.


Excellent support from Antoine


Not only is this a great out-of-the-box solution, their support is amazing.  We'll be using this on many projects.  


Amazing Support


I hate to go against the reviews here, but support is not helpful.



I couldn't set up the plugin locally, provided the response from their API, they requested a video as well.



I'm pasting the response I got from support after:




Thanks for the video ;)



In fact, it is a really strange behavior because I tested the API key on a local test website I have (a .local one), and it is working perfectly.



Do you have another local website on which you could test it?




At this point I decided to self support myself. 



I can't help but think I lost my time speaking to a person who basically told me to reboot my machine, in IT terms. "Works on my local". That's great ... for this support person I guess.



I don't recommend this plugin if you run into issues that require support to think about the problem at  hand and not following a defined set of rules. Based on my experience you will lose time that could better be spent figuring it out by yourself. 


Terrible support.
