Beskrivning
WeLocale translates your entire WordPress site into 50+ languages automatically using AI. Install the plugin, add your App Key, and your site is multilingual in minutes — no developer, no code changes, no manual translation work.
Why WeLocale?
- AI-powered — translations are generated automatically, reviewed in your dashboard
- No code changes — one plugin, one App Key, done
- 50+ languages — all major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages
- Built-in language switcher — visitors switch language with one click
- SEO hreflang tags — tell Google which language each page is in (Pro and Scale plans)
- Words stored permanently — never reset monthly like some competitors
- Affordable — significantly cheaper than Weglot at every plan level
How it works
- Install and activate this plugin
- Create a free account at welocale.net
- Add your site and copy your App Key
- Paste the App Key in Settings WeLocale
- Done — your site is now multilingual
WeLocale scans your visible page text, translates it with AI, and displays it to visitors in their language. The language switcher appears automatically. You review and edit translations in your WeLocale dashboard.
Compared to Weglot
Weglot is a popular but expensive translation plugin — pricing starts at $17/month for just one language and resets your word count every year. WeLocale offers the same core features at a lower price with permanent word storage and no surprise billing.
What you manage in the dashboard
- Which languages are active
- Translation quality — review and edit any AI translation
- Language switcher appearance
- SEO settings (hreflang, meta tags)
This plugin only connects your WordPress site to WeLocale using your App Key. Translations are stored securely in your WeLocale account, not in WordPress. The widget always loads its latest version automatically, so you get improvements without updating this plugin.
External service
This plugin connects your site to WeLocale (https://welocale.net), a third-party website-translation
service, and requires a WeLocale account. When enabled, it loads the WeLocale widget script
(https://welocale.net/widget/latest/loader.js) on your public pages using your App Key. The widget
reads the visible text of your pages to translate it.

Vanliga frågor
-
Do I need a WeLocale account?
-
Yes. A free plan is available at welocale.net with no credit card required.
-
Is this a good Weglot alternative?
-
Yes. WeLocale offers the same core functionality — AI translation, language switcher, hreflang tags — at a lower price and without monthly word count resets.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. WeLocale translates all visible text on your site including WooCommerce product pages, checkout, and emails.
-
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.
-
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.
