Learn how to indicate which translation engines WPML should use, or completely disable those you don’t want.
WPML supports four translation engines, each with its own strengths and pricing:
| Translation Engine | Unique Feature | Pricing |
|---|---|---|
| WPML AI | Most natural | 4 credits |
| DeepL (default) | High precision | 2 credits |
| Google Translate | Widest language support | 2 credits |
| Microsoft Translator | Most cost-effective | 1 credits |
By default, WPML uses DeepL when translating your content. However, you can change to a different translation engine if you want to use another one.
To change the translation engine:
- Go to WPML → Settings.
- Scroll down to the Automatic Translation section and drag the translation engine you want to set as default to the top of the list.
Changing the default translation engine
To completely disable a translation engine, switch the toggle to OFF.
