AI Translator for WPML — Translate WordPress Posts with AI
Create AI-powered draft translations and connect them through WPML.
The AI Translator for WPML is a free WordPress addon that uses AI to generate draft translations for your posts, pages, categories, and tags. Each translation lands as a review-ready draft, then links to the original through WPML so your multilingual site stays organized with proper hreflang relationships.
What Is the AI Translator for WPML?
The AI Translator for WPML is a free WordPress addon that extends the WPTheMoon AI Generator with multilingual translation capabilities. It connects directly to WPML to create AI-generated translations for your existing WordPress content, turning hours of manual copy-paste work into a few clicks.
Draft-first translation workflow
The AI Translator for WPML never publishes automatically. Every translation is created as a draft so editors can review, refine, and approve before it goes live — giving you full control over quality and tone.
Deep WPML integration
Translated posts and pages are automatically linked to their originals through WPML translation management. Categories and tags are also translated and connected, preserving your site taxonomy across languages.
