01Translating

Translate Your Entire Website.

Translate every kind of content on a side-by-side Translate screen, by hand or automatically.

  • Posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags and product categories
  • Side-by-side Translate screen: the original and your translation, passage by passage, including image descriptions and button labels
  • Automatic translation in one click with your own DeepL, Google Cloud Translation or AI account (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI… connected in WordPress)
  • When the original changes, the changed passages are flagged and the rest of the translation is kept
  • Menus per language, plus the site title, tagline and theme text

02WooCommerce

Sell in Every Language. No Add-On to Buy.

Other multilingual plugins charge extra for WooCommerce. Tonguana includes it, free.

  • Translate a product in one click: it starts as a full copy, variations included
  • One stock, every language: price, SKU, stock, weight, images and linked products stay the same, whichever language you edit
  • Shop, cart, checkout and account pages each have their own language, and the cart follows the shopper when they switch
  • Each order remembers the language it was placed in, and customer emails go out in it
  • Works with High-Performance Order Storage and the cart and checkout blocks
  • Fast with big catalogs: tested on 10,000 products in 5 languages
Translate whole catalogs at once with Pro
03Language switcher

One Website. Multiple Languages.

Add a Language switcher your way. Try it here – this is a front-end demonstration of switching, not a live translation.

  • As a block, menu item, shortcode or theme function
  • A list or a drop-down, with language names in their own language
  • An optional, gentle suggestion when a visitor’s browser prefers another language, never an automatic redirect

Welcome to Our Website

Content for every visitor, in their language.

Get Started
04No limits

Translate Without Counting Every Word.

Unlimited languages, words, pages and products, free. Tonguana adds no per-word fees.

  • Unlimited languages, words, pages and products
  • Translate by hand for nothing
  • Or use your own DeepL, Google Cloud Translation or AI account and pay them directly
  • Free on WordPress.org, with no trial period
05Privacy

Your Website, Your Data.

Translations live in your WordPress database as ordinary pages, posts and products. If you stop using Tonguana, they stay.

  • No cookies: the language is part of the address (/fr/)
  • Nothing is sent anywhere until you choose a translation service
  • Only the text of the page you translate is sent, never anything about your visitors
  • Every request is listed, without its text, on Languages → Machine translation
  • Deleting Tonguana removes all its settings, saved API keys included
  • Passes WordPress.org’s official Plugin Check with no errors or warnings
06Languages & addresses

Every Language Gets Its Own Address.

Add unlimited languages, including right-to-left ones such as Arabic and Hebrew, each at an address like yoursite.com/fr/.

  • Your default language keeps the addresses it has today
  • Translated addresses: /about-us can be /fr/a-propos
  • WordPress’s own translations for each language are downloaded for you, so the theme and admin speak it too

And more

Built for Search, Speed and the Tools You Use.

Each translation is an ordinary WordPress page, post or product, so most themes and plugins just work. For the popular ones, Tonguana goes further.

Page Builders and Custom Fields

  • Elementor: headings, text, buttons, tabs, accordions and lists, for classic widgets and Elementor 4 elements, plus a Language switcher widget. With Elementor Pro, headers, footers and popups follow the visitor’s language
  • Divi 4 and Divi 5 pages, with buttons and links pointing to your translated pages
  • Bricks pages and templates, with headers, footers and popups per language
  • Beaver Builder: headings, text, buttons and repeating modules
  • Block editor: every core block, with valid block markup after translation
  • ACF: each field gets a Translation setting to translate it, copy it to every language, or point it to the translated page or category

Search Engines

  • hreflang on every page, in the format Google asks for
  • Multilingual XML sitemaps, including in Yoast SEO and Rank Math
  • Each translation keeps its own SEO title, description and social sharing fields

Keeping Track

  • Coverage dashboard: the percentage translated per language and content type, what’s missing and what’s out of date
  • Accessibility checks: pages declare their language, language links can be read aloud, image descriptions are translated
  • The switcher is a labelled navigation region, and each language name is announced in its own language

Speed

  • A page and all its translations load in two database queries, however large the site
  • Performance is tested automatically on 10,000 products in 5 languages
  • WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache and W3 Total Cache are cleared for exactly the pages a translation changes

Plugins and Services

  • Yoast SEO and Rank Math: each translation keeps its own SEO fields
  • WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache and W3 Total Cache
  • DeepL, Google Cloud Translation, and any AI provider connected in WordPress (Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenAI…), with your own key

For Developers

  • REST API: filter by language and see each item’s translations
  • WP-CLI: manage languages and translations from the command line (wp tonguana)
  • A small public PHP API and hooks for themes and plugins
Switch

Switching Takes One Click. Your Translations Come With You.

Moving from WPML, Polylang or TranslatePress? Tonguana reads their data and brings it over, so you don’t translate anything twice.

How It Works Four Steps

  1. 01

    Install Tonguana next to your current plugin

  2. 02

    Open Languages → Import. Tonguana finds your plugin and shows what it will bring over

  3. 03

    Click Import. Large sites are imported in batches, and you can follow the progress

  4. 04

    Check a few pages, then deactivate your old plugin

What comes over

Your Setup, Intact

  • Your languages and your default language
  • Which posts, pages, products and categories are translations of each other
  • Your menus per language, and your translated site title and tagline
  • Your addresses: pages keep their URLs, so search rankings and links aren’t lost
  • From TranslatePress: each language gets its own page, built from your existing translations
