However, before you decide on a plugin, consider the following:
- Plugin translations might not always be flawless. Many plugins depend solely on machine translations, which accounts for their speed. You might need to adjust certain phrases, modify translated sentences, or adapt translations to align with your brand's voice.
- You might not have the desired control over your site. Some essential pages might require manual, human translation to capture your brand's message accurately. Not all plugins provide this level of control or customization.
- They might not assist with SEO. Several website translation plugins focus only on translating your site's content and neglect SEO. They might not translate metadata, tags, alt tags, categories, URLs, or create subdomains for each translated version of your site. Without these SEO features, your translated site might not rank for its translated keywords on Google.
- Compatibility issues might arise. Many plugins are exclusively for WordPress. While WordPress hosts a significant portion of websites, you might need a plugin compatible with a different content management system (CMS).
At Seatext, we understand these challenges. We've assisted countless websites in translating their content into numerous languages.
To guide you, we'll first discuss the essential features to look for in a plugin, and then introduce you to 4 of the top website translation plugins available.
5 Essential Features for Your Translation Plugin
Before diving into specific plugins, let's discuss the features that will be most beneficial when translating your site:
- Automation: Quickly translate your site without manually reviewing every word. However, this machine translation should be dependable.
- Accuracy: Inaccurate translations can deter potential customers. While machine translation might not always be perfect, opt for a plugin that allows you to modify the content and select your translation quality.
- Customization: Display language options on your site as you see fit. Choose which sections or pages you don't want to translate. The best plugins offer control over the user experience.
- SEO Features: Translate your metadata and on-page SEO elements and create a subdirectory/subdomain for each translated website version.
- Affordability and Scalability: Ensure you're not overpaying for a single site. If you have an ecommerce site with numerous product pages and categories, you shouldn't be charged per page.
With these features in mind, let's explore some of the best website translation plugins, starting with our own, Seatext.
