What is the best multi-language plugin for WordPress?

WordPress does not have multi-language support itself, so you need to use a plugin to obtain multi-language functionality. Do not suggest the usage of different WordPress sites for obtaining the multi-language functionality because this would create more problems that solving.

Please answer only if you successfully implemented such solution and explain what current limitation it has. Also it would be a good idea to specify what other solutions you tested before choosing this one.

Things to consider:

  • language URLs, like /en/… /fr/..
  • being able to fallback to default language for untranslated pages
  • browser language detection

  1. I would like to recommend WPML, I use it on all of my bi/multi-lingual projects. It has great support and it makes WordPress truly multilingual, instead of only your content.

    The latest addition is the media module, which takes care of the images you upload to Posts and Pages. No need anymore to upload them for each language separately, the plugin now recognises that there is an image attached to one language and will ask you to use that image too or not.

    Any questions you have about it, you can let me know.

  6. I tried a few but I found mLanguage to be the easiest to impliment.

    It does not translate – its not clear in your post if you want multi language, or a translator. They are obviously very different

    put in [en] what you want in english[/en][fr]french[/fr] and the text comes up only in the language selected. outside the [] will be on every language.

  7. I can recommend Rosetta plugin it comes as a free version and a paid one.

    Rosetta plugin for WordPress is designed to give the user a simple and
    effective way to build a multi-language website. It makes it possible
    to easily produce and manage multilingual content.

    This free version of Rosetta plugin has some limitations.

    Here is a quick overview of free version features:

    • Multi-language from the box – everything required already included
    • Quick and simple configuration. Host versatility – use pre-configured
    • host names or form automatic URLs. Multilingual post content editing
    • via tabs in post edit WordPress section Website title, description
    • and menu localization Language switching widget Plugin localization
      support
