Polylang Pro

Managing a multilingual WordPress site involves more than translating a few pages. Polylang Pro helps organize translations for posts, pages, media, categories, tags, custom post types, and taxonomies. You can also translate URL slugs, menus, and widgets, making it useful for blogs, company websites, and online stores with content for visitors in different languages.

The plugin lets you set language-specific URL structures using subdirectories, subdomains, or separate domains. Its language switcher can be added as a widget or through navigation menus, and right-to-left languages are supported. Translation workflows include copying content between language versions and importing or exporting XLIFF files. The plugin also supports the WordPress Block Editor and REST API.
