WordPress Website Translation

WordPress localization

Do you use WordPress as your content management system? Do you plan to publish a website and make it available in several languages? With SimulTrans and any Plugin of your choice, it is easy.

WordPress

WordPress is an open-source free content management system (CMS). It is the most widely used website CMS around. According to W3Techs, about 63% of all CMS-based websites are operated with WordPress.

Here are some of the advantages:

A free system that can be scaled easily and cheaply
Easy to work thanks to a good structure and simple operation
SEO-friendly platform

Multilingual websites

The rapid growth of e-commerce has increased the number of WordPress users and the need for translation of websites to reach international customers. In addition to this, research by CSA Research has found that:

75 % of online shoppers prefer to buy products with information in their native language
40 % will never buy from websites in other languages

This means that having a website translated into multiple languages will allow any company to reach a larger international audience and increase sales and customer satisfaction.

Translation plugins for multilingual websites

A plugin is a software add-on that is installed on a program, enhancing its capabilities. It is an invaluable tool for creating a multilingual website within the CMS dashboard. Whether you want to add new languages or translate existing content, plugins make the process simple and efficient.
