Description
The free WordPress AI translation plugin that doesn't cost you a monthly subscription.
Every serious multilingual plugin on WordPress either charges a monthly subscription (Weglot, WPML AI, Localize), forces you through their cloud with per-word pricing, or ships language-switcher infrastructure without any translation generation at all (WPML, Polylang, TranslatePress). If you want AI-powered WordPress translation without a recurring bill, your options are almost none.
Why Traducta beats the alternatives: Traducta runs against your own local Ollama server - a free, open-source AI runtime that generates translations at zero API cost. Prefer a cloud API? Traducta also supports DeepL's free tier (500,000 characters per month, no credit card). No data ever leaves your infrastructure to Google or any analytics service - the only network call is to the AI backend you chose.
Works with the WordPress block editor and WooCommerce
Full compatibility with Gutenberg blocks - the parser preserves every block delimiter, shortcode, HTML tag, URL and email address using a placeholder-swap technique, then restores them after the AI returns the translation. Layouts and functionality stay intact. Works out of the box with the WooCommerce Cart and Checkout blocks too.
First WordPress plugin to register translate/* Abilities API providers
WordPress 7.0 shipped the Abilities API - a standard way for AI clients to call into your site. Traducta is a first-mover: it registers traducta/translate-post, traducta/translate-string, traducta/translate-menu, traducta/list-languages, and traducta/list-translations. Any MCP-connected AI (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT) can now drive your entire multilingual workflow via natural language.
