## Description

WTranslator makes your website multilingual with just a few clicks. Your visitors
can instantly switch between languages and read your content in their preferred 
language – no manual translation needed!

**How it helps your visitors:**
 * Read your website in their native language * 
Switch languages with a simple click * Optional automatic language suggestion from
the browser (and Cloudflare country header when available), if you enable it in 
settings * Their language choice is remembered for future visits

**What makes it great:**
 * **100+ Languages** – From English and Spanish to Chinese,
Arabic, and everything in between * **Beautiful Language Switcher** – Elegant dropdown
or flag icons that match your site design * **Lightweight** – Translation runs in
the visitor’s browser via Google’s translate script; no API key is required * **
Powered by Google Translate** – Uses Google’s translation technology to help translate
your content * **Works Everywhere** – Compatible with any WordPress theme and most
plugins

**Perfect for:**
 * Business websites reaching international customers * Blogs with
a global audience * E-commerce stores selling worldwide * Educational content for
diverse learners * Any website that wants to welcome visitors in their own language

### External services

This plugin uses the following third-party service:

 * **Google Translate** – Translation runs in the visitor’s browser via Google’s
   Translate Element. No API key required. See: [Google Terms of Service](https://policies.google.com/terms),
   [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
 * **Auto-detect (no third-party)** – Uses only browser Accept-Language and Cloudflare
   header when present. No IP sent to any service.

## Installation

**Getting Started is Easy:**

 1. Install WTranslator from your WordPress dashboard (Plugins  Add New  Search “WTranslator”)
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Go to Settings  WTranslator
 4. Choose which languages you want to offer
 5. Pick your language switcher style (dropdown or flags)
 6. Save and you’re done!

Your visitors will now see a language switcher on your site and can choose their
preferred language.

## FAQ

### Do I need to translate my content manually?

No! WTranslator uses Google Translate to translate your content when visitors view
the site in another language. Activate the plugin, choose your languages, and content
is translated for visitors on demand.

### How many languages can I offer?

You can enable as many languages as you want from our list of 100+ supported languages,
including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic,
Russian, and many more.

### Will my visitors’ language choice be remembered?

Yes! When a visitor selects a language, WTranslator remembers their choice so they
don’t have to select it again on their next visit.

### Does this slow down my website?

The plugin adds a small script and style bundle. Page HTML is still served by WordPress
as usual; translation work happens in the visitor’s browser when they choose another
language, similar to using Google Translate in the browser.

### Can visitors switch back to the original language?

Absolutely! The language switcher always shows all available languages, so visitors
can easily switch back and forth.

### Do I need technical knowledge to use this?

Not at all! WTranslator is designed to be simple. Just install, choose your languages,
and it works automatically.
