Every language is a real page on your site
This is our demo site in German, at its own German address, made by Tranzly. Every translation is an ordinary WordPress page you can open, edit, cache and see in search results.
Why people choose Tranzly over MultilingualPress
Start free
MultilingualPress starts at €149 a year (2 languages, 1 installation). Tranzly is free on WordPress.org with unlimited languages.
No Multisite needed
Tranzly works on the WordPress site you already have: every language is a set of ordinary pages on that site.
Not priced by language
Add as many languages as you like. Tranzly Pro is priced per site, never per language.
Choose your translator
Use DeepL, Google, Microsoft or the AI model you prefer, a different one per language if you like.
Where MultilingualPress may suit you better
MultilingualPress runs each language as its own site on WordPress Multisite, which suits organisations that already work that way. If that matters most to you, it is a good choice. If you want unlimited languages for free, no word limits and translations that are real pages on your own site, try Tranzly.
