Manage multilingual WordPress content
Polylang Pro is a paid multilingual extension for WordPress sites that need to publish content in multiple languages. It uses WordPress core taxonomies and supports adding one extra language, ten or more languages, or any number required for the project. WordPress language packs are downloaded automatically when they are ready.
The shared Polylang core supports translations for posts, pages, media, categories, post tags, custom post types, custom taxonomies, and RSS feeds. Right-to-left scripts are supported. Languages can be represented by a language code in the URL, a separate subdomain, or a separate domain, giving site owners several ways to organize multilingual addresses.
Paid translation workflow features
Polylang Pro is designed to reduce repetitive work when creating and maintaining translations. Its integration with the Block Editor provides language options in the widget block editor, while template parts can be translated in the Site Editor for full-site editing themes.
- Duplicate and synchronize content across post translations.
- Share the same URL slug for posts or terms across languages.
- Translate URL slugs for categories, author bases, custom post types, and more.
- Use improved compatibility with plugins such as ACF Pro.
- Use DeepL for machine translation.
- Export and import content in XLIFF format for outsourced professional translation.
These capabilities can support different editorial workflows. A site team can duplicate a source post as a starting point, synchronize selected content between translations, or export material for professional translation and import the resulting XLIFF content.
Navigation and site presentation
Polylang supports customizable language switchers as blocks, classic widgets, or classic navigation menu items. Classic menus and classic widgets can be translated, and these features are also accessible with Site Editor Classic Features in block themes. Compatibility with Yoast SEO is included.
WooCommerce projects
WooCommerce compatibility is provided through the Polylang for WooCommerce add-on. The add-on translates WooCommerce pages such as the shop, checkout, cart, and my account areas, along with product categories and global attribute terms directly in the WooCommerce interface. It also translates WooCommerce emails for customers’ languages and synchronizes product metadata.
The add-on works with the native WooCommerce CSV import and export tool and supports popular extensions including WooCommerce Subscriptions, Product Bundles, WooCommerce Bookings, and Shipment Tracking. The WooCommerce REST API is available with Polylang Pro. Polylang for WooCommerce users also have access to premium support.
