Polylang Pro

A site that serves readers in more than one language needs more than translated posts. Menus, categories, widgets and URLs all have to match the language the visitor chose. Polylang Pro handles these parts from inside WordPress, so you manage the original content and its translations in one place. It also supports right-to-left scripts for languages that read that way.

Language setup is flexible. You can place each language in a subdirectory, on a subdomain or on a separate domain, and you can translate slugs so links read naturally in every language. The plugin works with Advanced Custom Fields Pro and the WordPress Block Editor, and it offers XLIFF import and export for professional translation workflows. Blogs, business sites and online stores can all use it.

Features

• Broad content translation: Translate posts, pages, media, categories, tags, custom post types and taxonomies, so the whole site follows the language the visitor picks.
• Flexible URL structures: Set up languages using subdirectories, subdomains or separate domains, whichever fits how you want each language version of the site organized.
• Translated URL slugs: Translate slugs, including those of custom post types and taxonomies, so links stay readable for visitors in each language.
• Right-to-left language support: Run languages that read right to left, with RTL script support built into the plugin for sites that serve those audiences.
• ACF Pro and Block Editor support: Works with Advanced Custom Fields Pro and the WordPress Block Editor, so complex layouts and dynamic fields can be translated along with regular content.
• XLIFF import and export: Export content to XLIFF and bring translations back in, which suits teams that send text to professional translators.
• Duplicate and sync content: Duplicate posts across languages and copy or synchronize original content to translations, keeping structure consistent while you adjust language-specific details.
• Language switcher and menus: Add a customizable language switcher widget and navigation menu options so visitors can change languages from any page.
