When you are setting up or managing a WordPress site, one of the main challenges can be choosing the right plugin to make your site multilingual. With so many options available in the market, selecting the best plugin depends on your specific needs and circumstances. In this post, I’ll share my personal experience in this area with you.

Features of a Good Translation Plugin

When choosing the right plugin, you should pay attention to the following features:

  • A simple, user-friendly interface for translating pages: A plugin that allows you to translate pages directly from the WordPress dashboard is extremely useful.
  • Keeping your formatting consistent across all languages: Some plugins might turn Persian numbers into English or mess up your text layout. Choosing one that doesn’t cause these problems is definitely the smarter move
  • Being able to tweak styles and properly set content for RTL or LTR layouts: It’s important to have a plugin that lets you set styles and text direction according to the language.

My Experience:

I have checked below plugins:

  • TranslatePress (free): This plugin allows you to translate pages directly from the WordPress dashboard. By using CSS and identifying the classes related to TranslatePress, you can adjust styles for different languages. However, the free version only supports two languages.
  • Polylang Pro: This plugin allows you to translate content, but it requires creating separate versions of each page for every language, which can be cumbersome for sites with a lot of content.
  • WPML: A powerful plugin with extensive features, but it is costly and may not be suitable for startups or small businesses.

Final Suggestion:

For websites that require more than two languages, Polylang Pro is a suitable option. However, for getting started or for sites that only need two languages, the free version of TranslatePress can be a good choice.
