WordPress
Translation for WordPress, without the locked-in admin.
All the workflow. None of the duplicate posts. Install in 15 minutes, migrate from WPML / Polylang / TranslatePress with one WP-CLI command.
The bits that get better.
| Feature | Paragraphs | Typical WP translation plugin |
|---|---|---|
| Posts per locale | One | One per locale (×N) |
| Admin UI | Unchanged | Locale switcher everywhere |
| URL structure | Free choice | Plugin-controlled |
| Editing | Edit a block, only that re-translates | Re-sync whole post |
| WooCommerce | Yes | Yes |
| Yoast / RankMath / SEOPress | Yes | Yes |
| Block themes | Yes | Yes |
| Headless WP | Yes | No |
The bits that stay the same.
- Your editor experience (Gutenberg, Classic, Elementor, Oxygen)
- Your themes, page builders, and templates
- WooCommerce — products, variations, attributes, emails
- Yoast SEO / RankMath / SEOPress for English
- Custom post types via MetaBox or ACF
- Block themes and full-site editing
- WP-CLI workflows
- Multisite (each site is one Paragraphs project)
- Your hosting setup (Kinsta, WP Engine, self-hosted)
The catalogue story.
WooCommerce-specific surfaces — product names, descriptions, short descriptions, attributes, variations, category descriptions, transactional emails — are all fingerprinted and translated. Translation memory means "Add to cart" gets translated once and re-used across every product.
One WP-CLI command.
