Google Language Translator
100,000+ active installs · Rated 4.7/5 · Updated October 23, 2026
A plugin that places a language selector on any part of a site, using Google Translate to convert pages for visitors on the fly. It suits small sites wanting basic multilingual access without managing translated content. Automatic translation runs on the visitor side, so quality depends on the machine engine. A free version is available, with a paid upgrade for more options.
Pros
- Language selector, widget and menu flags with no setup of translations
- Machine translation covers a long list of languages
- Simple shortcodes for placing the selector
Cons
- Free use is limited to non-commercial purposes under the vendor terms
- Free version gives no SEO benefit and does not keep translations
- Indexing, URL translation and in-context editing need a paid plan
