Polylang Pro is the reference multilingual plugin for WordPress, developed by WP SYNTEX (Chouby), a French company that has been building this solution since 2011. With more than 800,000 active installations in its free version, Polylang Pro is the natural choice when you need to expand a website into multiple languages without compromising performance or SEO.
Unlike other solutions that add complex layers or require separate installations, Polylang Pro integrates directly with the WordPress core and respects its native architecture: languages work as just another dimension of content, without strange tables or shortcuts that later become costly to maintain. Everything is managed from a single WordPress installation, with language as a property of each post or page.
The Pro version adds advanced features that make it a professional-grade tool. It includes automatic translation via DeepL, Google Translate, or LibreTranslate, which greatly speeds up the workflow. It also offers the ability to share the same URL slug between languages, translate slugs for categories, author bases, and custom post types, and manage media specific to each language. The improved integration with the WordPress block editor allows translating template parts in the site editor (FSE) and having a language switcher block.
For teams working with professional translators, Polylang Pro supports exporting and importing content in XLIFF format, making it easy to outsource translations. Additionally, it allows duplicating and synchronizing content between translations, and offers improved compatibility with popular plugins like ACF Pro and Yoast SEO, ensuring that hreflang tags and URL structure are managed correctly for search engines.
With support for an unlimited number of languages, automatic detection of the browser language, and the ability to configure URLs by language code, subdomain, or separate domain, Polylang Pro adapts to any internationalization strategy. It is the ideal tool for agencies, developers, and businesses that need to launch multilingual sites quickly, efficiently, and without sacrificing performance.
