Translate pages, posts and WooCommerce content manually or automatically with DeepL or OpenAI using your own API key. Review translations side by side and edit every segment yourself — your translated pages are real, server-rendered WordPress pages with their own URLs. Instead of treating an entire page as one translation, Saasco Multilingual Translation tracks content segment by segment: every heading, paragraph, button and field has its own translation and its own status. That is what makes the PRO add-on possible— change two paragraphs in the source and see exactly what changed, without retranslating the whole page or overwriting your manual corrections. #### AI translation with your own API key Connect your own DeepL or OpenAI API key and translate as much content as you want. There are no translation credits and no artificial translation limits imposed by the plugin. You pay the translation provider directly for what you use. Prefer manual translation? No API key is required. #### Multilingual SEO included Every language gets its own server-rendered URL that search engines can crawl and index. The free plugin includes: * SEO-friendly language URLs * translated slugs * translated metadata * hreflang tags with x-default * self-referencing canonical URLs * multilingual XML sitemap support Your translated pages are real WordPress pages — not dynamically replaced text rendered by an external translation proxy. #### Side-by-side translation editor Translate and review content using a dedicated editor: * source content on the left * translated content on the right * segment-by-segment editing * translation status for every segment You stay in control of every translation, whether it was created manually or with AI. #### WooCommerce translation Create multilingual WooCommerce stores with support for essential store content including: * products * product categories * cart * checkout Visitors can browse your store and complete their purchase in their selected language. #### Language switcher Add a language switcher anywhere on your WordPress site, including block themes. It is available as: * a Gutenberg block * a widget * a shortcode * a WordPress menu item When a translation does not exist, the switcher points visitors to the closest available equivalent instead of sending them back to the source-language homepage. #### Translate content, not HTML The translation engine does not send your page HTML to the translation provider. It works with text segments and lightweight position markers — `Order <0>today` — keeping HTML structure, CSS classes, URLs and data attributes outside the translation process. This significantly reduces the risk of machine translation breaking your page layout. #### Your translations stay in WordPress Translations are stored in your own WordPress database as regular WordPress content. There is no external translation server involved in rendering your pages and no SaaS platform required to keep your translations online. If you stop using an AI provider — or stop using PRO — your translated content remains in your WordPress database. #### Import from Polylang Already running a multilingual website with Polylang? Saasco Multilingual Translation includes a resumable Polylang import process. Your existing Polylang data is left untouched during the import. #### What you get for free The free version includes: * unlimited languages * manual translations * unlimited AI translation with your own DeepL or OpenAI API key * multilingual SEO: translated URLs and metadata, hreflang and canonical tags, XML sitemap support * language switcher * side-by-side translation editor * theme and plugin interface strings * WooCommerce basics * Polylang import * server-rendered translated pages stored in your own WordPress database #### Smart change tracking and more in PRO Publishing a translation is only the beginning. When you update your original content, the [PRO add-on](https://saasco.pl/products/multilingual-translation) tracks which segments actually changed, marks only those as outdated and lets you retranslate just the changed content — your manual edits to everything else stay untouched. PRO also adds: * word-level diff of what changed in the source * translation health dashboard: what is up to date, outdated or missing across all languages * bulk translation running in the background * translation memory * glossary and brand voice * full parsers for Divi, ACF and synced blocks * WooCommerce: shared stock across languages, orders and customer emails in the customer’s language * translator roles and permissions The PRO licence only ever controls updates and support. Your site keeps working and your translations stay in place regardless of licence status. ### External services Saasco Multilingual Translation makes no external requests while rendering your site, and none at all unless you connect a machine-translation provider yourself. If you do, the plugin sends the text of the segments you ask it to translate (with lightweight position markers, never your HTML, URLs or attributes), plus the source and target language codes, to the provider you configured, using the API key you provide. This happens only when you or a background job you started requests a machine translation, and when you test the key on the settings screen. * **DeepL** (api.deepl.com / api-free.deepl.com) — [Terms](https://www.deepl.com/pro-license)· [Privacy policy](https://www.deepl.com/privacy) * **OpenAI** (api.openai.com) — [Terms of use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use)· [Privacy policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy) Your API key is stored encrypted in your own database and is sent only to the provider it belongs to. Saasco Multilingual Translation has no server of its own in this flow and never receives your text, your key or your usage. ### Source code The admin interface is built with @wordpress/scripts. The human-readable sources are shipped in the `assets/` directory of this plugin; `build/` contains the compiled output. Rebuild with `npm install && npm run build` in the plugin root. ## Screenshots [⌊Translation health: what is up to date, what changed at the source, what was never translated.⌉⌊Translation health: what is up to date, what changed at the source, what was never translated.⌉[ Translation health: what is up to date, what changed at the source, what was never translated.

Install the plugin from **Plugins Add New**, or upload the ZIP under **Plugins Add New Upload Plugin**, then activate it. 2. Activation opens the setup wizard (**Saasco Multilingual Translation Set up**). In **Which languages?**, add the language your content is already written in — it becomes the source — then add the languages you want to translate into. 3. In **How should addresses look?**, choose the URL prefixes. Each language gets its own server-rendered address, for example `/de/` and `/fr/`. You can also give the source language a prefix of its own. 4. In **Let visitors switch**, place the language switcher. It is available as a block, a widget, a menu item under **Appearance Menus**, and as the `[saasco_mt_switcher]` shortcode. 5. Optionally connect a machine-translation provider under **Saasco Multilingual Translation AI and providers**. Paste your own DeepL or OpenAI key — it is stored encrypted in your database and sent only to that provider. You can skip this and translate everything by hand. 6. Open any post or page and choose **Translate**. The side-by-side editor shows the source on the left and the translation on the right, segment by segment; save to publish the translated version at its own URL. ## FAQ ### Do I need an API key? No. You can translate everything by hand. The AI key is optional and it is yours— Saasco Multilingual Translation never sees your text or your key. ### What happens if I deactivate the plugin? Your translations stay in the database as normal posts. Uninstalling does not delete them either, unless you explicitly turn that on in the settings. ### Does it work with page builders? Gutenberg, Elementor and Bricks are handled at text level in the free version. Full Divi, ACF repeaters and synced blocks are part of PRO. ### Will it slow my site down? Translations are stored, not generated on the fly. Saasco Multilingual Translation adds at most four database queries to a front-end request and makes zero outbound HTTP calls while rendering a page. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Saasco Multilingual Translation” is open source software.
