Description

Autoglot provides automatic multilingual translation and localization for WordPress websites and blogs using advanced AI-powered machine translation algorithms. Translations are generated on-the-fly and stored in the local WordPress database for fast and seamless access. Autoglot also handles additional localization tasks, including translation of SEO meta tags, adding translated pages to sitemaps, generating hreflang tags, localizing media files and links, updating translations automatically, and configuring language switcher widgets for a fully multilingual experience.

Autoglot is the perfect solution for website owners, bloggers, e-commerce stores, marketers, and content creators. No matter what type of WordPress site you run, Autoglot’s AI translation, enhanced by MTPE translation editor, help you reach a wider audience, boost traffic, optimize user experience (UX), improve SEO, and achieve your multilingual goals faster and more efficiently.

How does it work?

Autoglot automatically translates your WordPress site into multiple languages with ease.

Each language gets its own fully crawlable version of your website. Autoglot adds a language prefix to your URLs (which can also be translated), ensuring search engines index your multilingual pages just like independent sites, bringing you more traffic and a wider audience.
When a translated page is opened for the first time, Autoglot splits content into separate phrases or sections, and translates them with AI-powered machine translation into the current language, without modifying your original content. You can later fine-tune translations through a built-in editor.
Your translations are stored locally and served instantly. Content is translated only once and saved in your database, with no hidden costs like pageview limits, bandwidth fees, or external subscriptions. It’s like running several multilingual versions of your site, all managed from one place.

How to start?

It’s easy as 1-2-3.

Download our plugin from the official WordPress plugin storage and install it on your site.
Register in our Autoglot Control Panel and receive your unique API key.
Finally, add this API key to your Autoglot plugin and choose as many languages as you want for your new multilingual website!

That’s it! Enjoy your new fully scannable, SEO-compatible multilingual website!

How to switch languages?

Autoglot currently offers 3 options where user can switch languages.

Autoglot widget. Simply search for “autoglot” in you widgets and add our widget to your sidebar or any other widgets area. You can choose a type of switcher: language names, flags, or both;
Shortcode. Alternatively, you can use a [ag_switcher] shortcode to add a language switcher to your website posts, pages, popups, etc. See FAQ section for more information about shortcode options.
Popup. Finally, you can enable a popup language switcher. This will add a floating box to your website. By clicking on this box, users will see a popup window with language switcher. This is the best solution if you don’t want to add widgets or shortcodes to your website.

No subscription required!

Unlike many other translation plugins, Autoglot does not require any subscription and monthly fees just to access and display your translation. We use pay-as-you-go model where users pay based on how much they need to translate. For more information about our pricing, please refer to the FAQ section.

Moreover, when you register, you will have an initial translation balance that can be used to check the functionality of our plugin.

Once your content is translated, it will be stored in your WordPress database and served to your site visitors for free. Even if you stop using Autoglot to translate new content, all pages that have been translated will stay with you.

Additional notes

Autoglot does not modify your original content and does not change your website structure. Your blog always stays safe!

Autoglot currently does not fully support WooCommerce and other e-commerce and content generation plugins. It can translate native WordPress posts, pages, other similar content sections, as well as WooCommerce products, cart and checkout process. In order to prevent excessive expenses, Autoglot will not translate all dynamic messages and emails. If pieces of content on your website are generated dynamically via JavaScript, Autoglot may fail to translate them.

Autoglot currently supports 58 languages including English, Spanish, Chinese, French, German, Portuguese, and many more. For the full list of currently supported languages, please check the FAQ section.

WooCommerce notes

Please use classic cart and checkout pages. New block pages are JavaScript-based and therefore cannot be translated on the server.
In addition to the words calculated in the Word Counter, please allocate up to 1,000 words per language for translation of cart and checkout pages.
WooCommerce may show unique dynamic messages for different users. If they have not been shown before, Autoglot will translate them using the translation balance.
Currently, Autoglot does not translate outgoing emails in order to prevent excess charges.

Benefits of Autoglot for Automatic WordPress Translation

Autoglot Attracts New Audience. Did you know that more than 80% of the world Internet audience does not speak or understand English? But the problem is that half of all websites are in English. With Autoglot WordPress Translation plugin, you can translate your website into different languages in a few clicks without paying a fortune!

Autoglot Increases Traffic. Up to 3 out of 4 of all queries to search engines are sent in languages other than English. And for these non-English queries search engines show websites in their native languages. Autoglot is fully SEO compatible, it translates titles and metadata, content and taxonomies. Autoglot will add hreflang tags to your blog; it will also add translated pages to XML sitemaps so search engines can find new pages easily!

Moreover, keeping your translated content up-to-date can be time-consuming and sometimes impossible. The solution is Autoglot: it will translate and update your content on-the-fly, using the best AI neural machine translation solutions.

Who translates all the texts in Autoglot?

All translations performed by Autoglot are entirely machine-generated. The translation process is carried out automatically by software algorithms without any human intervention, editing, or post-processing.
Autoglot does not review, monitor, approve, or modify the translated content in any language. The service functions purely as a technical tool that provides automated translation based on the input received.

I noticed a bad translation string. Can I change it?

Yes, you can! Starting from version 2.3.0, Autoglot provides a flexible MTPE Translation Editor that lets you manually modify translations. This tool displays all records from translation DB with convenient “search” and “filter by language” functions. There is an option to delete translation records so they will be re-generated. The most important, translation editor comes with a “Quick Edit” button to let a site administrator, translator or proofreader manually adjust and modify the translation.

How much do I need to pay for translation?

Our pricing depends only on your words count.
We can offer translation packages starting from $0.0005 per word! This is 200 times cheaper than hiring freelance translators.
For more information, please check our pricing page.

What is a “Translation Balance”?

This is a number of words you can translate. You can check and replenish your translation balance via your control panel using a credit card or cryptocurrency. For pricing information, please check our pricing page.
When your blog posts and pages are automatically translated to another language, we will subtract the number of words in your content from your translation balance. For example, if your blog post contains 100 words, we will subtract 100 from your translation balance. If you translate your blog post to 2 languages, we will subtract 200 from your translation balance, etc.
If your translation balance reaches 0, we will not be able to provide new translation for you until you replenish your balance. However, unlike many other plugins, your previous translations will still be available on your website and will never be disabled until you decide to do so.

Is the plugin SEO compatible?

Yes, Autoglot follows all the best search engine optimization practices and creates fully SEO compatible language versions.
Autoglot will translate all HTML titles, META tags, schema.org markup, take care of all language settings, hreflang tags, etc.
Autoglot will also update most SEO plugins’ sitemap XML files and add new language URLs there. You will not have to modify them manually!

Can I translate URLs?

Autoglot can translate URLs (inner links to posts and pages). When enabled in Advanced section, Autoglot will translate all WordPress permalinks, e.g. http://site.com/page/ to http://site.com/fr/página/.
It can also transliterate URLs to url-friendly format, e.g. http://site.com/page/ to http://site.com/ko/peiji/
This also includes links in “alternate hreflang” and “canonical” tags, links in language switcher, forms, and sitemaps
All translated URLs can be modified in Translation Editor
This can be useful for better SEO, improved conversions, and overall user experience
Please note, enabling or changing settings of Translation and Transliteration of URLs will affect only URLs that have not been translated yet. If you need to update already translated URLs, you need to modify or delete them in Translation Editor.

Will Autoglot slow down my website?

According to numerous tests provided by independent tools, Autoglot does not significantly influence the speed of your sites.
Moreover, these minor changes may only be noticeable on translated pages. Your original, non-translated pages will not be affected at all.
The process of automatic translation takes some time. That is why when you first open new pages that have not been translated yet, they might be slow – or even fail to load! Don’t worry, no translation will be lost. Once Autoglot completes the automatic translation process, all translated pages will be served from your local DB without delays.
Finally, Autoglot supports most of caching plugins like LiteSpeed Cache, SpeedyCache, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP Super Cache, WP-Optimize, etc.
Translated pages are cached by these plugins and delivered to site visitors with increased speed and performance.

I activated language switcher but cannot see it on my site. What to do?

If you’re using a caching plugin or server-side caching in your hosting provider, please start with clearing/purging it. Try refreshing your website page or access it in incognito mode.

I enabled translation but it is very slow or the pages are not loading at all. What to do?

When you first open an untranslated page, it might take a bit longer to load. This is normal – it just takes some time to extract the content, send it to our API for translation, and get it back. Once it’s translated, it’s stored in your local database and will load quickly for future visitors, just like any other WordPress page.

Can I link to different URLs in different languages?

Yes, this can be done using our “Links Modifier” tool. This will replace links depending on current language, so you can have a link to site.de on your German pages, site.es on your Spanish pages and so on.

Can I embed different images and videos in different languages?

Yes, this can be done using our “Text Replacement” tool. This feature of Autoglot plugin lets you easily change pieces of content on your translated pages. For example, you can change video URLs depending on current language, so you will show different videos in different languages. Additionally, you can localize external links, images, and even your site appearance!

How to translate images?

Currently, it is not possible to automatically translate text on images. Even with the latest advancements in AI technologies, the results of this “AI translation” can be unpredictable.

The only way to proceed is manual replacement, and this is what Autoglot can do using the “Text Replacement” module.

This can be done in 3 steps:

First, find the original image that needs translation, like this one: http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/logo.jpg
Next, download the image, make the necessary changes to the text, and then upload the new, translated image to your site’s Media section. For example: http://domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/logo-spanish.jpg
Open the Autoglot – Text Replacement module. Add a new record and give it a name (this is just for your reference). In this tool, you’ll replace a part of the original image’s URL with the new one. In the Original Content field, paste the part of the original URL that should be replaced: 2024/01/logo.jpg In the corresponding language row, use the New Content field to paste the different part from your translated image’s URL: 2025/12/logo-spanish.jpg

This will ensure that when a visitor switches to the translated language, the system swaps out the original image with your new, translated one.

How to use Autoglot shortcode to insert language switcher?

You can use a [ag_switcher] shortcode to add a language switcher to your website posts, pages, popups, etc.

Add a “title” argument if you want to set a custom title of this box: [ag_switcher title = “Website Translation”]. Use [ag_switcher title = “_”] for an empty title.

Use a “type” argument in order to select a type of language switcher:

[ag_switcher type = “smallflagslist”] – small flags.
[ag_switcher type = “flagslist”] – large flags.
[ag_switcher type = “languageflagslist”] – list of languages with flags.
[ag_switcher type = “languagelist”] – list of languages without flags (default).

Add “hidebox = 1” argument if you don’t need a default widget-like box around switcher: [ag_switcher hidebox = 1].

What is the quality of machine translation in Autoglot?

The quality of NMT (neural machine translation) has increased significantly lately. According to some experts, the leading machine translation providers can show the quality comparable to medium-level professional translators. Moreover, many of these translators also use neural machine translation systems to generate the initial translation and then slightly proofread it. Sounds weird? Add the fact that you will have to pay them 100 times more.

Autoglot provides reasonable quality for the fraction of this cost. And it is fully automated!

Can I translate my WooCommerce shop?

Yes, Autoglot supports translation of basic WooCommerce functionality. This includes WooCommerce products, cart and checkout process, including dynamic updates of shopping cart and checkout, and switching between different shipping addresses. In order to prevent excessive expenses, Autoglot will not translate all dynamic messages and emails.

However, please note the following:

Please use classic cart and checkout pages. New block pages are JavaScript-based and therefore cannot be translated on the server.
In addition to the words calculated in the Word Counter, please allocate up to 1,000 words per language for translation of cart and checkout pages.
WooCommerce may show unique dynamic messages for different users. If they have not been shown before, Autoglot will translate them using the translation balance.
Currently, Autoglot does not translate outgoing emails in order to prevent excess charges.

Is it possible for WP Editors to edit translations?

Yes, starting from version 2.6.1, WP users with “Editors” role can access Translation Editor module and edit/delete translations.

To enable this, please proceed to Advanced settings and under Admin Settings choose “Yes, Editors can edit and delete translations”. Don’t forget to save settings!

Can I use the same API key on different websites?

Yes, you can use the same API key on different websites. These can be your staging and production sites, or even completely different domains.

If you need to activate Autoglot account on another website, simply install and activate the plugin, then use the same Autoglot API key during setup or on the Autoglot settings page.

When you enter your Autoglot API key on a different website, it will link that new site to your existing Autoglot account, allowing you to use your translation balance there.

Please make sure this is secure as there isn’t any way to limit the consumption of translation credits for each individual website.

Sharing API keys with other people isn’t secure and could lead to unexpected expenses. However, if you own all the sites where the key is used, this approach works perfectly.

Alternatively, you can create separate Autoglot accounts for each site and manually transfer translation credits from one account to another via support tickets.

How can I move translations from staging to production server?

All translation are stored in your local WP database, particularly in [wp_prefix]_autoglot_translations table. In order to move translations from your staging to your production environment, simply move this table to the production DB. In this case, no new API call should be made (this is only valid if the original content is absolutely the same).

Please note, if you set up Autoglot on two separate sites (e.g., your staging and production environments) and translate the same content on both simultaneously, you will use your quota twice (once on the staging site, and then again on the production site).

Think of it like your main post content: if you add content on your staging server and then move that database to your production server, you’ll see it there. If you don’t move the database, you’d have to add the content on both your staging and production servers twice.

Reviews

levindt April 10, 2025

I’ve tested several of the most recommended WordPress translation plugins — including TranslatePress, WPML, and Polylang — and each one had its own drawbacks. Some required too much manual setup, others had important features like SEO or automatic translation locked behind expensive basic plans (some over $100/year). What I was really looking for was a plugin that could automatically translate my site, without the headache of complex configuration or recurring payments. Then I found Autoglot, and it was exactly what I needed. I paid just $10 one time to translate my entire site into two languages — no subscription, no hidden fees, and the automatic translations worked surprisingly well. SEO support and language-specific URLs were handled out of the box. If you’re looking for a simple, affordable, and automatic multilingual solution for WordPress — I highly recommend Autoglot.
