AI translation for WordPress that you actually own.
Multilanga translates your WordPress & WooCommerce site with AI and stores every translation in your own database. Unlimited languages and every feature on every plan. Pay only for AI words, and cancel any time. The privacy-first alternative to cloud translation services.
Unlimited languages & every feature, free. 10,000 AI words to start, unlimited on Pro · no account needed.
Cloud-quality AI, self-hosted freedom.
Most translation plugins keep your translations on their servers and bill you again on every page view. Multilanga does the opposite: translate once with AI, store it in WordPress, serve it yourself.
You own the translations
They live in your WordPress database, not our cloud. No kill-switch, no lock-in, trivial backups. Stop paying and your site stays multilingual. Nothing is even sent to us until you connect.
Your traffic is free
Pages are served entirely from your database: no external API call per visit, no flicker, and cache plugins keep working. A viral post costs nothing extra, while cloud rivals meter you by page views.
Unlimited languages
Translate into as many languages as you want, on every plan, including the free one. There's no per-language pricing; the only thing a paid plan adds is unlimited AI words.
Automatic AI, then polish
New content is translated automatically in the background. Click any text on a live preview to refine it, or change a glossary term and re-translate everything in one click. Your manual edits are always kept.
Everything a translation plugin should be.
Open a live preview of your site and click any text to translate it in place, with a Page & SEO side panel, or review element-by-element in a clean list.
Multilanga translates the rendered page, so Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, shortcodes, widgets and theme strings are all covered, no per-builder setup.
Dedicated language URLs (/de/, /fr/), automatic hreflang & x-default, translated titles, meta, Open Graph, slugs and a per-language XML sitemap.
Products, cart and the modern block checkout translate out of the box via the Store API, no separate paid add-on. Per-language product images, too.
Set tone, audience and site context so niche terms come out right; pin exact translations or protect brand names with a per-language glossary.
A lightweight floating button, a [multilanga_switcher] shortcode, or a menu item, with your colours, flags (rectangular or round) and names.
From one language to many, without leaving WordPress.
Install the plugin
Add Multilanga from WordPress.org and activate. The setup wizard opens on first run.
Pick your languages
Your source language is auto-detected. Choose targets and the wizard translates your homepage right there so you see the result.
Go multilingual
Your /de/ URLs, hreflang and a language switcher go live. Keep refining any time in wp-admin.

With a cloud translator
Translations live in the vendor's cloud. Your multilingual site depends on an active subscription with a per-plan word and language limit. Stop paying and the translations disappear. Editing happens in an external dashboard, and every page view is metered.

Good to know.
Where are my translations stored?
In custom tables inside your own WordPress database. Our servers only hold your licence and usage, never your content. That's what makes cancelling safe and backups trivial.
What happens if I stop paying?
Your multilingual site keeps working. Because every translation already lives in your database, pages keep serving in every language. You just stop translating brand-new content until you renew.
Will it slow my site down?
No. Translations are served locally from WordPress, so there's no per-view API call and no added latency. Cache plugins like WP Rocket and LiteSpeed work normally on your language URLs.
Which page builders are supported?
All of them. Multilanga reads the rendered front-end of your page, so Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, WooCommerce and custom themes work without special setup.
How do the free words work?
The Free plan includes 10,000 AI-translated words for the lifetime of the site, with unlimited languages and every feature. Translations reused from official WordPress and plugin language packs are always free and don't count. Pro removes the word cap entirely: translate as much and as often as you like.
Translate your site in minutes.
Install the plugin, pick your languages, and let the AI do the first pass, all inside WordPress, with every word staying yours. Free to start.
