Automatic translation inside Loco Translate
LocoAI Pro and LocoAI Premium License are paid editions of the LocoAI extension for Loco Translate. The addon adds automatic translation capabilities to the Loco Translate workflow, helping translate translatable strings from WordPress plugins and themes without leaving the editor.
Loco Translate is primarily used for manual translation inside the WordPress admin. LocoAI adds one-click automatic translation, allowing users to send available strings through supported third-party machine translation and AI services. Translations can then be reviewed and refined in Loco Translate’s built-in editor.
Providers and language workflows
The Premium edition supports Chrome Built-in AI, ChatGPT, Gemini, Google Translate, DeepL document translation, and OpenAI. Yandex Translate support is also available. Gemini, DeepL, and OpenAI may require an API key, depending on the selected integration. DeepL document translation includes limited free document translations per day or can be used with DeepL Pro.
Available languages depend on the selected translation provider. The addon is intended for plugin and theme strings, making it useful for multilingual WordPress projects, translated interfaces, localized themes, and sites that need to process many strings more quickly than manual editing alone.
One-click translation and editing
Use automatic translation to process translatable strings with a single action. LocoAI supports unlimited free translations through supported providers where the source comparison identifies that capability. After machine or AI translation, review the results directly in the Loco Translate editor. This provides a practical workflow for correcting wording, improving readability, and adapting translated strings before they are used on a live site.
The Premium edition also includes Translation Context & Tone. Add business context, brand tone, and target-audience information to help produce translations that better match the intended voice and audience. This can be useful when literal wording is not enough and a project needs more relevant, natural-sounding output.
Important provider requirements
LocoAI provides settings for using third-party translation widgets and services; it does not provide the translation services themselves. API usage charges, quotas, and limits are determined by the selected provider. Some integrations therefore require API keys, while others use their own widget or service conditions.
Automatic translations should be checked carefully before being made live. The source information does not guarantee complete correctness, so review is an important part of the publishing workflow, especially for customer-facing content, technical wording, and brand-specific language.
Installation and setup
Install the LocoAI extension alongside Loco Translate in WordPress. Open the Loco Translate editor for the plugin or theme you want to translate, choose a supported provider, and configure any required API key or service setting. Run the automatic translation action, review the generated strings, and edit them in the built-in editor before applying the finished translations to the project.
Support in the paid edition
The Premium edition includes premium support with a stated support time of 24–48 hours. Pro and Premium naming is used for the paid editions described in the source information, while provider availability and requirements vary by integration.
