LATW Multilingual makes a WordPress site available in more than one language. It provides a language switcher, clean language URLs (/en/, /de/), multilingual SEO tags, and manual translation of your content, media and interface strings. You can add as many languages as you need, and no API key or license key is required.
How it works
Most multilingual plugins duplicate every post for every language, LATW stores a translation as an overlay rather than as a separate post: the original post is kept as it is, and the translated values are swapped in when a visitor opens the language URL. One post therefore stays one post in the database, whatever the number of languages.

Pro edition
The free edition covers the switcher, routing, SEO and manual translation. A separate Pro edition adds automatic AI translation, which uses your own OpenAI key (usage is billed to you by OpenAI):
- Automatic AI translation of posts, pages and custom content.
- Bulk translation of the whole site, processed in a background queue.
- Auto-translate on publish/update.
- AI translation of theme and plugin strings (
.po). - Glossary and translation memory for consistent terminology.

AI and manual translation can be mixed: AI produces a first pass, which you can then edit by hand.
