Decided to make your website lingually available to people from different parts of the world? That means it\u2019s time for you to translate your website into multiple languages.\u00a0<\/p><p>If your site is currently in a language other than English, having the English language readily available is a great way to reach a broader audience. After all, English is the lingua franca of the modern world. If your website is <i>only<\/i> available in English, you may be missing out on customers from the rest of the world. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/worldviews\/wp\/2015\/04\/23\/the-worlds-languages-in-7-maps-and-charts\/\">nearly 5% of the world\u2019s population\u2019s native language is Spanish<\/a> &#8211; and that\u2019s a large chunk you may be missing out on. And the truth is, even if your potential customers (or site visitors) know English, you\u2019ll look a lot more accommodating if you offer a version of your website in the customer\u2019s own native language.<\/p><p>In this guide, we\u2019ll cover how you can make your website dual-language or multilingual, and what you should do to adapt your website for customers who speak different languages. We\u2019ll get into how you can translate everything from posts to tags and categories, so that your multilingual website doesn\u2019t look sloppy, and instead looks professional.\u00a0<\/p><p>Keep in mind that we\u2019ll focus on how to translate your website in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/what-is-wordpress\/\">WordPress<\/a>, as it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/w3techs.com\/technologies\/details\/cm-wordpress\">used by nearly 40% of all websites today<\/a>, but we\u2019ll also mention some tools you can use with any CMS (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/what-is-a-content-management-system\/\">content management system<\/a>).<\/p><h2>What Is a Multilingual Website?<\/h2><p>A multilingual website offers the same content in multiple languages &#8211; thus, it\u2019s multilingual. Things like tags, menus, production descriptions, and perhaps even blog posts are available in multiple languages. A dual-language website is a website that offers the content in specifically two languages.<\/p><p>There are several ways in which your users can access content in their preferred language. You can set up your website so as to automatically direct visitors to a language that\u2019s compatible with their geographic region. You can also have icons with different languages or flags (representing the language of that country), or users can select the language from a drop-down menu (like on Wikipedia).<\/p><p>Though we\u2019ll mainly talk about WordPress plugins you can use to translate your website along with some non-CMS-specific alternatives, there are two general ways in which you can translate your website. The first method is more hands-on and is called<b> manual translation<\/b>. This means that there will be human translators doing the work with your help and guidance (like which parts to translate, if not all).\u00a0<\/p><p>The second method is <b>automatic translation<\/b> (auto-translation) through machine translators, such as Google Translate. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripepismith.com\/google-translate\/\">Google no longer offers the translate widget for free<\/a> to websites that haven\u2019t already installed it. You can now get a <i>paid <\/i>version of <a href=\"https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/translate\/?hl=en#section-1\">Google\u2019s Translation API Service<\/a>, which offers scalable plans depending on your usage of the translator tool. Other auto-translators aren\u2019t that great, especially free options.<\/p><p>So, while the second method seems to be easier and perhaps cheaper, manual translation is a better choice. It may cost a bit more, but it will ensure better quality translations for your foreign visitors. Badly translated websites look cheap and can turn clients off. Most of these tools and plugins will include a bit of both: auto-translation to get things going, followed by human translation to edit the work so that it maintains a decent level of quality.<\/p><p>So, let\u2019s take a look at your website translating options.<\/p><h2>How to Make a Website Multilingual in WordPress<\/h2><p>One of the best ways to make a multilingual website in WordPress is by installing a plugin. We\u2019ll go over our three favorite plugins which offer the main tools you\u2019d need for this project:<\/p><ul><li>Translating website elements as well as the tags, categories, themes, and plugins<\/li><li>Translating all post types (pages, blog posts, products and product descriptions, etc.)<\/li><li>Setting up compatible SEO-friendly URLs for different language versions of the site\/pages<\/li><\/ul><p>The three plugins we\u2019ll talk about are TranslatePress, Polyang, and WPML.<\/p><h3>1. TranslatePress<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/translatepress-multilingual\/\">TranslatePress<\/a> combines auto-translations and human translations to optimize efficiency and balance it with quality. So for instance, you can translate chunks of your website in Google Translate and then hire human translators to tweak and make it just perfect.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2049\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-translatepress.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-translatepress.jpg 702w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-translatepress-300x98.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" \/><\/p><p>Here\u2019s an overview of their main features:<\/p><ul><li>TranslatePress comes with a live page editor (image translation support) so that you can translate images and other visuals (like sliders) on your website.<\/li><li>It\u2019s compatible with all WP plugins and themes.<\/li><li>Allows you a live preview of the translated pages while you edit them. It also gives you the option to only publish the page in a given language once <i>all<\/i> the translations in that language are completed.<\/li><li>Supports auto and manual translation.<\/li><li>Easy-to-use front-end interface.<\/li><li>Options to set up language switchers anywhere on your website through shortcode, WP menu item, or a dropdown.<\/li><\/ul><p>The paid version of the plugin comes with additional features such as:<\/p><ul><li>Translating into multiple languages (more than two).<\/li><li>Multilingual SEO optimization (translating the meta description, URL slug, image alt tags and other tags, page titles, etc.).<\/li><li>Have separate translator accounts (roles) on WordPress with limited functionality.<\/li><li>Automatically select the language based on the visitor IP\u2019s geographic location.<\/li><\/ul><h3>2. Polyang<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/polylang\/\">Polyang<\/a> has the cutest logo of all the plugins, so let\u2019s start with that.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2050\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-polyang.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-polyang.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-polyang-300x96.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p><p>Polyang, like TranslatePress, has a free and a paid (pro) version. The free plugin is quite sufficient for most users, but if you\u2019re running a WooCommerce shop on your website you <i>will<\/i> need to get one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/polylang.pro\/downloads\/polylang-for-woocommerce\/\">premium version Polyang products<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p><p>Overall, Polyang is easy to use and offers quite a few basic features with the free version, including:<\/p><ul><li>An unlimited number of languages per website.<\/li><li>Ability to translate all types of posts, pages, images and media, tags, menus, categories, widgets, and so on.<\/li><li>Allows you to create custom URLs for the website in different languages.<\/li><li>Customizable language switcher for visitors available in the navigations menu.<\/li><\/ul><p>The paid version, <a href=\"https:\/\/polylang.pro\/products\/\">Polyang Pro<\/a>, also includes:<\/p><ul><li>Multilingual SEO optimization.<\/li><li>Translations sharing the same slug in URL.<\/li><li>Setting up custom taxonomies and post types, sticky posts and post formats.<\/li><li>Translating slugs in the URLs.<\/li><\/ul><p>If you wish to get a full translation service that does both auto-translations and then has human translators review and edit the work properly, you can get <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/lingotek-translation\/\">Lingotek Translation<\/a>, an add-on of Polyang.<\/p><h3>3. WPML<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wpml.org\/\">WPML<\/a> (stands for the WordPress Multilingual Plugin) is a very versatile translation plugin. Except for some add-ons, the plugin only comes in a paid version. It\u2019s quite easy to use, features over 40 languages, and even allows for you to choose from specific language variants (like Mexican Spanish or Canadian French).<\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2051\" src=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-wpml.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"332\" height=\"129\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-wpml.jpg 332w, https:\/\/www.domainnamesanity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/translate-website-wordpress-wpml-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 332px) 100vw, 332px\" \/><\/p><p>Some of the main features that WPML offers are:<\/p><ul><li>Translation management: allows you to give users the role of \u201ctranslators.\u201d<\/li><li>If you want professional translation on top of the automatic one, WPML hooks you up with affordable professional human translators.<\/li><li>Allows you to arrange content in the different languages under the same domain, a sub-domain, or if you wish, a different domain.<\/li><li>Offers full functionality for multilingual eCommerce.<\/li><li>Translates themes and plugins.<\/li><li>Compatible with <i>most <\/i>WP themes.<\/li><\/ul><h2>How to Translate Your Website Into Multiple Languages Using Any CMS<\/h2><p>We\u2019ve talked about WordPress plugins, but what if you don\u2019t want to use a plugin, or are using a different content management system? Here are some of our favorite options:<\/p><h3>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bablic.com\/\">Bablic<\/a><\/h3><p>Bablic is an all-in-one solution for multilingual website translations. They have affordable prices starting at about $12\/month for a dual-language website which go up to $159\/month for unlimited languages.<\/p><p>Bablic allows you to choose between automatic and professional (human) translation, although you can also combine both. They also offer a Visual Editor tool, which you can use to customize and translate images and other visual elements. Maintaining a multilingual website is quite easy with Bablic, as you get notified of new content, so you can immediately translate it and keep up with all versions of the website.<\/p><h3>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartling.com\/\">Smartling<\/a><\/h3><p>Smartling automates the translation process, but it\u2019s still fully manual. They have a team that manually and professionally translates your website while you do\u2026 nothing. However, all this comfort and quality comes at a price &#8211; their plans start at $200\/month, and it\u2019s billed annually.<\/p><h3>3. Combine <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/\">Google Translate<\/a> With A Human Translator<\/h3><p>If you\u2019re on a tighter budget, you can simply do your translations through <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.com\/\">Google Translate<\/a> and then hand over the results to a professional translator who can edit the resulting content and make sure there\u2019s no residue of potential gibberish. Although it\u2019s a free tool, Google translate still provides results that are quite accurate and on-point.<\/p><p>If you\u2019re translating from another language to English, you can use a website like <a href=\"https:\/\/essays.scholaradvisor.com\/\">Essays.Scholar.Advisor<\/a> and get some good rates for English editing.
