Polylang is a WordPress multilingual plugin for blogs, corporate sites, ecommerce websites, agencies, and developers. It supports manual translation for posts, pages, media, taxonomies, custom post types, menus, widgets, and WooCommerce content through its dedicated add-on. Language switching, browser language detection, WordPress editor support, and language-specific contributor permissions help teams manage multilingual content within WordPress.

Pricing follows a freemium model. Free Polylang provides a WordPress multilingual plugin. Polylang Pro starts at €99 per site annually and adds one year of updates, professional support, machine and manual translation, and multilingual SEO. The 3-site plan costs €198 annually, the 5-site plan costs €297 annually, and the 25-site plan costs €495 annually. Pro pricing is shown in EUR, excludes VAT, and uses yearly site-based licensing.

Polylang is particularly suited to multilingual SEO work, with translated URLs and slugs, subdirectory, subdomain, or domain configurations, hreflang, Open Graph, and language-dependent metadata. It also connects with WordPress, WooCommerce, DeepL, Yoast SEO, Advanced Custom Fields Pro, SEOPress, WP Rocket, and other WordPress extensions. XLIFF import and export plus REST API support extend its workflow options. Choose Polylang for WordPress sites that need control over translated content and search localization; teams seeking a platform beyond WordPress should consider a different category of tool.
