Materials for Writing About WPML

Interested in writing about WPML but not sure where to start? Here’s an overview of WPML’s top features that make it the go-to choice for so many people.

Please note that the WPML Multilingual Blog account is great if you want to manually translate a small site yourself without any extra bells and whistles. However, WPML really shines with the WPML Multilingual CMS and Multilingual Agency accounts, which include all the fantastic features below.

Easy Installation & Setup

WPML uses a lightweight installer plugin to register and install all the necessary WPML components to your site. Then, the setup wizard walks you through all the steps to get your multilingual site up and running quickly:

  • Choose your site’s languages
  • Decide how to format your site’s URL
  • Choose how to translate your site and who should translate it
  • Install glue plugins for improved compatibility

Automatic Translation

Tight budget or timeline? No problem. WPML integrates with Google Translate, Microsoft Azure, and DeepL to translate your content quickly and affordably. Use automatic translation as a starting point for translators or as your main translation method. It’s 95% faster than translating content yourself from scratch.

WPML’s new Translate Everything mode can even translate your entire site automatically – just sit back and relax while WPML does all the work.

New WPML accounts come with enough automatic translation credits to translate most sites for no extra cost. Anything over that is never more than a fraction of a US cent per word, making it the most affordable way to translate your site.

You Own Your Translations

There are no monthly fees to keep your translated content on your site. WPML stores your translations in your own database, not in a cloud you can’t access. This means your translations belong 100% to you.
