✍️ Tailor-made translations at your fingertips with our On-Page Editor

Although wpLingua gives you the convenience of machine translations, we understand the nuances of each language.

wpLingua allows you to fine-tune each translation manually if you need to.

Experience the fusion of automation and the personal touch with our visual on-page editor.

🎨 Fully customizable language switcher

The wpLingua language switcher is fully customisable. You can display the language switcher in three ways:

✓ Automatic insertion via predefined positions
✓ Using a shortcode to display it wherever you like
✓ Insertion in the navigation menu using the design defined by the theme

You can also control the appearance of the language switcher using:

✓ Switcher styles (dropdown, inline, block…)
✓ Predefined themes (light, dark, chameleon, etc.)
✓ Configurable language names (translated name, original name, language ID, etc.)
✓ Flag shapes (round, rectangle, wavy)
✓ Language-based flag choices or import your own flag images
✓ Adding custom CSS in a dedicated insert

With all these customization options, there’s no way your website’s language switcher will look like any other!

📖 Translation rules by dictionary

The dictionary allows you to define translation rules that apply when generating machine translations. You can specify words or sets of words that should never be translated, or define how they should be translated for each language.

🧭 Intuitive possibilities to exclude certain translations

Navigate the complexities of website translation with wpLingua’s intelligent exclusion feature.

Want to preserve specific sections of a page in its original language? Our system seamlessly allows you to pinpoint and exclude translations using CSS selectors.

If entire pages need to remain untouched, effortlessly exclude them by their URL. All of this can be managed with ease through our user-friendly exclusions manager.

With wpLingua, you’re always in command of what gets translated and what doesn’t, ensuring your website’s essence remains intact.

⚡️ The wpLingua API

The wpLingua plugin relies on our own wpLingua API, an integrated third-party service, to provide its machine translation functionality. The call to this Third Party Service (wpLingua API) is made when creating an API key from the plugin, during API key verification and when your website requests a new automatic translation (new texts discovered on a page web or request automatic translations from the translation edition). We invite you to consult our Terms & Conditions page for more information.

Need some tweaks «There’s only one problem: if we press back, it reverts to the original English page (example.com/hi/ goes back to example.com) instead of staying on the translated page. The translation should stick until another language is selected.» Anyways nice plugin by developers, I think better than Welgot or Translatepress👍.

J’ai testé à peu près toutes les solutions de traduction WordPress et WP Lingua sort vraiment du lot. Enfin une extension de traduction qui associe la simplicité d’utilisation, la rapidité de génération des traductions et la légèreté (votre serveur vous dira merci) ! C’est notre choix par défaut pour tous nos nouveaux projets !

Très bon plug in qui facilite les traductions. Il a été amélioré et il est aujourd’hui plus rapide. Très facile à utiliser même pour un débutant, je recommande

Au top ! j’aime bien la rapidité a laquelle il traduit les articles, pages ou produits e-commerce. Contrairement à d’autres extensions ou il faut obligatoirement traduire fiche par fiche. wpLingua fait le job en un claquement de doigts. Bravo !!!
