Translatio is an open source tool for internationalization and localization of WordPress based websites. Translatio provides two translation workflows:

Live translation workflow provides instant translation based on the Google Translate engine. Simply configure the extra languages you want to support through the intuitive setup interface, save, and then you are done.

Full professional workflow provides more control and higher translation quality, which involves extracting the text, undertaking translation and integrating this back into WordPress. Translatio ensures you are always in control by hosting your translations locally for proof reading, editing and final publication. You can integrate machine translation of your choice to provide a foundation translation, then leverage the fully featured translation editor with any 3rd party translation agencies.


Configure Translatio for Live Translation workflow

From your WordPress dashboard side menu, select Translatio -> Translatio setup:

Key configuration:

  • Add the extra languages you want to support
  • Make sure the Live translation powered by Google Translate is set to "Yes"
  • Make sure the Language Switcher location is set to "Draggable Floating Menu"

Press "Save Changes".

You can now visit your website, switching between languages to see how your website is being translated live.
