WPML + OpenAI + bulk translation + SEO metadata
AI Translation for Existing WPML Websites
WPML manages multilingual WordPress websites well, but translating large amounts of content manually can take time. Translation Assistant adds an OpenAI-powered workflow directly to WordPress while WPML keeps control of languages and translation relationships.
Add OpenAI
Translate WordPress content through the OpenAI API using your own API key.
Work in WordPress
Select content, launch translations and monitor activity without leaving your dashboard.
How to Translate WPML Content with OpenAI
The workflow is designed to stay simple for WordPress administrators already using WPML.
1
Connect OpenAI
Add your own OpenAI API key in the plugin settings. API usage is handled through your OpenAI account.
2
Choose WPML Languages
Select the source and target languages already configured on your WPML website.
3
Select Content
Translate one post or select multiple WordPress posts for bulk processing.
4
Launch Translation
Translation Assistant sends the required text to OpenAI and creates the translated WordPress content.
5
Keep the WPML Relationship
The translated post is linked to its original content through WPML.
6
Review the Result
Save translations as drafts for review or publish them according to your workflow.
Bulk Translate WordPress Content with OpenAI
When a site contains dozens or hundreds of articles, processing content one post at a time becomes repetitive. Translation Assistant includes a local bulk translation queue for a more efficient WPML workflow.
- Select several WordPress posts.
- Choose WPML source and target languages.
- Add selected content to the local translation queue.
- Monitor translation activity from WordPress.
- Review completed operations in translation history.
- No artificial plugin-level bulk translation limit in the WordPress.org edition.
Manage AI translation activity from your WordPress dashboard.
Translate Yoast SEO and Rank Math Metadata
Multilingual SEO involves more than translating the article body. Supported SEO titles and meta descriptions can be translated together with the WordPress content.
Yoast SEO
Translate supported Yoast SEO titles and meta descriptions in the same workflow as the post content.
Rank Math
Translate supported Rank Math SEO titles and meta descriptions alongside your WordPress translation.
Track OpenAI Token Usage and Estimated Costs
Translation Assistant provides visibility into AI usage directly from WordPress so administrators can better understand translation activity and estimated API costs.
Usage visibility
- Input token usage.
- Output token usage.
- Estimated API cost.
- Translation queue activity.
- Completed translation history.
Your own OpenAI API key
The plugin does not require proprietary translation credits. You connect your own OpenAI API key, and API usage is handled through your own OpenAI account.
Review completed translations and previous operations.
Designed to Work Alongside WPML
Translation Assistant does not replace WPML. The two tools have different roles in the multilingual workflow.
WPML
- Manages website languages.
- Maintains translation relationships.
- Handles multilingual site structure.
Translation Assistant
- Uses OpenAI to translate content.
- Provides a bulk translation workflow.
- Translates supported SEO metadata.
- Tracks token usage and estimated API costs.
Protect Against Duplicate WPML Translations
Before starting a translation, Translation Assistant checks the current WPML translation state. If a translation already exists or WPML Translation Management is already processing the same language, the plugin can stop the operation to help avoid duplicate translations.
