Install

Site Translator is two plugins. WorkMore Site Translator is the free plugin: any number of languages for posts, pages, custom post types and their taxonomies, with menus, a switcher and hreflang — complete on its own. WorkMore Site Translator Pro is an add-on that needs it and translates a WooCommerce shop. This page takes you through both.

What you need

• WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer.
• The free plugin, from WordPress.org: wordpress.org/plugins/workmore-site-translator. A site that installed it from a zip we handed out earlier updates from WordPress.org on its own — it is the same plugin with the same slug.
• For Pro: the add-on's zip from your purchase email. Freemius, who sells and delivers the add-on, also keeps it in your account with them.

1. Install the free plugin

1. Plugins → Add New, search for WorkMore Site Translator, Install Now, Activate.
2. Open Settings → Site Translator, choose your default language — the one most of your content is written in — and add the other languages. Under Content, tick any custom post types and taxonomies that should be translated too. Save.
3. In Pages (or Posts), click + in the Languages column of a page. A draft copy opens in your editor; translate it and publish.

Everything that existed before is in your default language and keeps its URL. Nothing is copied until you create a translation.

2. Add Pro

1. Download the add-on from the link in your purchase email (the zip's name starts with workmore-site-translator-pro). Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose that zip, Install Now, Activate. The free plugin must stay installed and active: Pro is an add-on to it. WordPress 6.5 and newer enforce this; on older versions the add-on shows a notice with the one click that fixes it.
2. Activate your license when the add-on asks: paste the license key from your purchase email.
3. Settings → Site Translator now has two more cards: WooCommerce — tick Translate WooCommerce products — and Pro account.

Updates

• The free plugin updates like any other plugin.
• The add-on updates from Plugins → Updates while your subscription is active.
• If the subscription lapses, nothing breaks: your translated shop keeps working. Updates pause until you renew — Pro account has the button.

Sites

• A license covers the number of sites of its plan.
• Local and staging copies of a site do not count.
• To move a license, deactivate it on the old site (Pro account → Manage account) and activate it on the new one.

Removing Pro

Deactivate and delete the add-on whenever you like: the free plugin keeps every language and content type working. Products stop being translated, but their translations stay where they are, and reinstalling Pro brings them back.
