What WPML is
WPML lets users manage a multilingual site from one WordPress installation and translate between more than 2,500 language pairs. It covers posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, menus, strings and media. Users can translate content themselves, assign it to a team, use WPML AI translation or connect a professional translation service. Translation memory, glossary tools, document translation and API access are also listed. The WooCommerce add-on supports translated store content, multiple currencies and localized payment gateways. WPML supports language-specific URLs and translated slugs, SEO metadata and titles, and lists compatibility with plugins including WooCommerce, Yoast SEO, Rank Math and contact-form tools. Plans begin at €39.00 per month for Multilingual Blog, which covers one production and three development websites; support and updates are billed for one year. Higher plans cover more sites and include specified AI translation word amounts. There is no free plan or trial. If an account is not renewed, translations remain visible, but users cannot update to new versions.
