Why Community Translation Can't Scale for WordPress Themes and Plugins
Our analysis of 60,000+ WordPress plugins and themes shows community translation covers under 5% of needs in 40 languages.
On October 1st, 2025, we retired the Translation Reviewer Directory due to low interest from clients. Translators can no longer access the application form.
Are you a professional translator looking for more work? Join our new directory and help our clients review their automatically translated websites.
How You Can Profit From This Directory
WPML plugin powers more than 1 million sites and its 4.5 version allows users to translate their whole website automatically. Many of them will want to have automatic translation reviewed by a professional translator and this is where you come in.
This directory can provide a direct link between you and hundreds of potential clients.
Reviewing automatic translations takes about 1/3 of the time you would need to translate the same text from scratch. This means you can serve more clients more quickly.
How The Directory Works
Our new directory works in a very simple way:
- You set your own price and bill the client directly
- We don’t take any commission or interfere in any way
- You review translations directly on the client’s site using a simple interface
In other words, we want the new directory to be a place where our clients can easily find certified professionals (like you) that can review their automatically translated websites.
How You Will Review Automatic Translation
Reviewing translated content for clients is easy. You simply log in to their site and a list of review jobs will be waiting for you.
Clicking on a job takes you to review that page on the site’s front-end.
If everything looks good, you approve a page. If you see any issues, you use our cloud-based CAT tool to easily edit any segment.
Interested? Let’s Get Started!
If you’re interested in joining our directory, simply start by filling out the application form.
Agnes from our team will then contact you with information about a short test job to confirm you understand the review process. Once you successfully complete it, we will publish your entry in the Translation Reviewer directory.
