Category: Multilingual

Multilingual plugins differ less in what they translate than in how they make you translate. The structured-CMS approach – WPML and Polylang Pro – maintains separate content per language with translation management on top, which is what serious editorial teams run. The visual approach – TranslatePress – edits translations directly on the rendered page, which suits small teams without a translation workflow. The service approach – Weglot and ConveyThis – machine-translates first and refines from a hosted dashboard, trading self-hosting for speed to launch. GTranslate rides Google’s engine, and Multilang covers the simple two-language case without ceremony. WooCommerce depth, hreflang handling, and who on the team actually does the translating decide the choice – the reviews test all three against each architecture.
