zTranslate
Multilingual WordPress — free for manual translations, Pro for AI.
Core Features
Four pillars — AI translation, Gutenberg, WooCommerce, SEO — in one plugin, no add-ons.
AI Translation
Automatic translations via OpenRouter API supporting DeepSeek, GPT-4, Claude, Llama, and Mistral. Configurable prompts, bulk processing with real-time progress, and cost tracking.
Gutenberg Support
Native language tabs in the block editor with per-language content editing, AI translation button, and per-language slug management.
WooCommerce Integration
Multilingual product titles, descriptions, and URL slugs across the entire catalog — including variable products, attributes, and category archives.
SEO Optimization
Yoast SEO and Rank Math integration with multilingual meta titles, hreflang tags, XML sitemaps, and per-language canonical URLs.
Advanced Features
From URL routing to ERP safety nets — control every layer of your multilingual stack.
Language Management
Unlimited languages with drag-and-drop reordering, emoji flags, per-language date formats, and custom fallback messages.
URL Modes
Query parameter, path prefix, subdomain, or per-domain URL structures for maximum flexibility.
Language Switcher
Widget with multiple display styles, menu item integration, shortcode support, and custom CSS.
REST API Protection
Detects language from HTTP headers and merges updates with existing translations, preventing data loss from ERP systems.
Integration Framework
JSON-based i18n-config.json for making any field translatable. Built-in integrations for WooCommerce, bbPress, and more.
Storage Format
All translations in standard WordPress fields using language markers. No extra tables, easy migration and backup.
Compatibility
Native integrations with the WordPress plugins you already depend on.
Single-Record Storage
Unlike WPML and Polylang that create separate posts for each language, zTranslate stores all translations in one database record using compact language markers.
- No extra database tables for content
- Works with any plugin that reads standard post fields
- Easy to migrate, backup, and restore
Multiple AI Models
One OpenRouter API key opens DeepSeek, GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and more. Swap models anytime without re-translating.
- DeepSeek, GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral
- Configurable prompts for fine-tuned quality

Frequently Asked Questions
Free includes everything you need for manual multilingual editing — unlimited languages, Gutenberg + Classic Editor, WooCommerce, Yoast/Rank Math integrations, language switcher, and single-record storage. Pro adds AI translation via OpenRouter (bulk + per-post), multi-site licenses, and priority support.
All translations are stored in the same WordPress database fields (post_title, post_content, post_excerpt) using language markers like [:en]English[:ru]Russian[:]. This is the most database-efficient approach — no duplicate posts, no extra tables for content.
