WPML’s revolutionary new translation engine is here! It sets a new standard for multilingual WordPress sites by analyzing your whole content for context and unparalleled accuracy.
Why WPML AI is a Game Changer
WPML AI harnesses the power of OpenAI’s API, combined with our proprietary technology, to deliver translations that truly understand your content.
Unlike traditional engines that translate sentence by sentence, WPML AI analyzes your entire content to ensure accuracy and context. This holistic approach results in translations that are not just literal but also nuanced and culturally relevant.
Our extensive testing across various content types—technical, narrative-driven, and more—revealed that WPML AI outperforms all other engines. Native speakers rated its translations as perfect or near-perfect.
WPML AI is Cost-Effective and Efficient
WPML AI provides high-quality translations at a fraction of the cost of human translation. You can now truly have affordable translations with top-level quality.
Translating one word with WPML AI will take 4 translation credits.
For example, translating a typical website with content of 10,000 words into 2 languages would cost around 47€.
Currently Supported Languages
WPML AI currently supports translating content from English to German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Italian.
It is currently not possible to translate from other languages to English. We are aware this is highly-requested and are already working on making this possible.
We’re also already working on adding more language pairs.
Update: Why It’s Not Possible to Use Your Own API Key
We got several questions and comments asking if it’s possible to use your own API key from OpenAI or connect to other Large Language Model (LLM) solutions. There is a very important and simple reason for this that we want to clarify.
While AI models are good at translating content they are not good at respecting various formats and standards that WordPress and websites in general require. When you send a WordPress page for translation, it consists of various HTML tags and elements and AI models tend to remove a lot of that markup or simply break it.
If WPML would just send your content to OpenAI or other AI APIs, your pages would break in many cases. And in other ones, it would get an invalid response because LLMs sometimes respond with a question instead of an actual translation.
And this brings us to the importance of what WPML does when it sends your content to OpenAI and other translation engines. We make sure the HTML structure stays intact and as it needs to be. We also take care of many additional linguistic aspects like capitalization and name-checking. All of this requires significant development, maintenance, and server resources which is why it cannot be provided free of charge.
How to Start Using WPML AI
To get started, go to WPML → Translation Management, click the Tools tab and then expand the Automatic translation engines section. Drag and drop the WPML AI (beta) engine to the top of the list.
That’s it, you can now enjoy the translations provided by our new cutting-edge translation engine!
