- WeLocale - a permanent free plan, then from $15/month. Automatic AI translation, no code changes. The free plan covers one website, two languages, 5,000 source words and a 3,000 AI-word budget, and it does not expire. AI words are charged per language, so that budget is what runs out first. Ten languages are included at $15. Your allowance is bought once rather than rented monthly, and your translations stay in your account even if you cancel. Works on WordPress and on any other site via one script tag.
- Weglot - from 15 euro/month, and well established since 2016 with a large review base. It prices by language count, so ten languages sit on the 299 euro plan and twenty on the 699 euro plan. It also offers much larger word allowances at the top of its range than we do, so price both if your site is very large.
- TranslatePress - from about $8/month, self-hosted. AI translation is an add-on.
- WPML - from about $39/year, self-hosted. Powerful, but more setup and manual work.
- Which languages are active
- Translation quality - review and edit any AI translation

常见问题:
Do I need a WeLocale account?
Yes, and it stays free. The Free plan needs no credit card and does not expire: one website, two languages, 5,000 source words and a 3,000 AI-word budget. AI words are charged per language, so that budget is what runs out first. A paid plan is only needed when you outgrow those limits, and nothing you have already translated is deleted if you stay on Free. Current plans and limits: https://welocale.net/pricing
Is this a good Weglot alternative?
Yes. WeLocale offers the same core functionality - AI translation, language switcher, hreflang tags - and includes ten languages on the $15 plan, where Weglot sells ten languages only on its 299 euro plan. Weglot is the more established product with a much larger review base, and it offers far bigger word allowances at the top of its range, so compare both against your own site size.

How does it compare to WPML or Polylang?
WPML and Polylang store translations inside WordPress and need you to manage them there; WeLocale translates the rendered page at runtime, so there is nothing to maintain in the database and no per-page workflow. WPML is the better fit if you need full editorial control over every string in the WordPress admin. Written up here: https://welocale.net/wpml-alternative
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes. WeLocale translates all visible text on your site including WooCommerce product pages, checkout, and emails.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi, or other page builders?
Yes. WeLocale translates the rendered output of your pages, so it works with any page builder - Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, Bricks, Oxygen, and others - without any extra configuration.
Does it conflict with WPML or Polylang?
No. WeLocale translates the rendered front end at runtime and does not change how WordPress builds your pages. It works alongside other plugins without conflict.
Does it translate URLs or slugs?
WeLocale translates visible page content. URL and slug translation is on the roadmap.
How do I exclude content from translation?
Add the attribute data-i18n-ignore to any HTML element you want to keep in the original language. WeLocale will skip that element and its children.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
The widget stops loading on your site once your paid period ends. Your translations and settings stay stored in your WeLocale account - nothing is deleted - and everything comes back online automatically the moment you resubscribe.
Where are my translations stored?
In your WeLocale account. The plugin itself does not store translations - it only connects your site via your App Key.
Can I edit translations manually?
Yes. Every AI-generated translation can be reviewed and edited in your WeLocale dashboard.
What languages are supported?
50+ languages including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, and more.
Will it slow down my site?
No. The widget script loads asynchronously and does not block page rendering.
更新日志:
- Re-release to fix a version mismatch flagged by WordPress.org: the 1.2.5 SVN tag was cut before trunk's Version header was updated to match, so the published tag's plugin file still read 1.2.4 even though the readme and download link said 1.2.5. No functional change from 1.2.5.
- The plugin is now actually translated. It shipped a languages folder from 1.0.0 that WordPress never read, because the Domain Path header was missing and nothing loaded the text domain, so every string appeared in English no matter which language your site runs in. All 17 strings, including the one-click connect flow added in 1.2.4, are translated into 31 languages.
- The translation template no longer offers a 14-day trial. It had been built under 1.2.3 and still described the plan model the permanent free plan replaced.
- One-click connect. The settings screen now has a Connect button that opens WeLocale, creates the website for you and brings the App Key back automatically. Copying a UUID between two browser tabs is no longer part of setting this up.
- WeLocale now has a permanent free plan: one website, two languages and 5,000 source words, with no credit card and no expiry date. The plugin's own copy said there was no free plan, which is no longer true.
- Correct the FAQ and the comparison table, which still described a 14-day trial covering 3 languages and 10,000 words.
- Correct the plugin's own settings screen, which told every user "Create a free WeLocale account (free plan available)". There is no free plan.
- Correct the FAQ: there is no free plan. Creating an account is free and starts a 14-day trial with no credit card, covering 3 languages and 10,000 translated words. A paid plan is required after that.
- Add an FAQ entry comparing the runtime approach with WPML and Polylang, including where WPML is the better fit.
- Link the readme to the pricing page and the comparison pages so the plan limits are one click away.
- Correct a claim in the description: competitors do not necessarily reset word allowances monthly, so that comparison has been removed. Weglot's own pricing states a translated word is counted once.
- Replace em dashes with plain hyphens throughout.
- Compatibility with WordPress 7.1.
- Clearer plugin title and description so the plugin is easier to find when searching for "translate".
- Expanded documentation: WooCommerce section, page builder compatibility list, new FAQ entries.
- All screenshots standardized to consistent resolution.
- Language switcher now defaults to bottom-right corner on initial load.
- Improved plugin listing with screenshots and expanded documentation.
- Initial release: connect a WordPress site to WeLocale via App Key and load the AI translation widget.
