WPML Multilingual CMS
WPML Multilingual CMS turns a WordPress site into a multilingual site, with language URLs, duplicated posts and menus, a language switcher and translation management. Automatic and professional translation services are sold by subscription. It suits sites that publish in several languages and can budget for a WPML subscription. Limit: the core is a commercial product, and translation services need a paid subscription.

- Language URLs and a language switcher widget
- Duplicates posts and media across languages
