By sticking to just one language on your website you’re limiting your sales from around the world. As people find new ways to communicate instantly, you’re more and more likely to communicate with people whose first language isn’t English. You’ll be able to reach far more people by translating text into their language. Here are 4 plugins we recommend:
POLYLANG
With this plugin you can add as many languages as you need to every page or post that you’re working on. Although it doesn’t do the translation for you, it does make it very easy to scale your content for multilingual purposes – you don’t have to have multiple websites with different languages, because a user logging onto your site merely has to select a language of their choice.
LOCO TRANSLATE
This plugin does more than just translate posts – it uses the readily available variety of languages WordPress has and does the translation from there. It is $5.95 monthly but you can translate 2,000 words for free.
WORDPRESS MULTINGUAL PLUGIN (WPML)
This plugin lets you automatically or even manually translate your content. More than 40 languages are available for auto-translation. It will cost $29 for “Standard” and $79 for “Advanced” but it has a solid reputation.
GOOGLE LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR
Last but not least is the Google Language Translator. Not only is it free, but Google Translate has become substantially more accurate, and it can support over 100 languages!
