Continuing on the multilingual WordPress theme, today we’ll take a look at Weglot. A translation plugin for WordPress which is a little bit different because it translates your content automatically. Getting started
Weglot can be downloaded from the WordPress plugin directory for free. The service behind the plugin has a cost. There is a free plan for very small sites and premium plans for anything above that. More info about the pricing can be found here.
After you install and activate the plugin, you need to configure it. To do that navigate to the Weglot tab that appears in your dashboard.
