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.
Do you develop software or mobile apps alongside your WordPress site? PTC, WPML’s AI translation engine, now translates them too.
Use the same translation engine for your WordPress website and your software—getting human-quality translations at machine speed and cost.

Start with a trial of PTC and translate 2,500 words for free. Then, translate software using your existing WPML translation credits. Translate website content one day and app strings the next from a single credit balance.
Alternatively, you can set up Pay-As-You-Go. Either way, it’s the same payment system you already know.
When your website and software use different translation systems, terminology conflicts appear. Product names translate differently. Your app’s tone doesn’t match your site. Users notice these inconsistencies.
PTC solves this by using the same context-aware translation engine for both platforms. Your terminology, tone, and product names stay consistent whether users are on your website or in your app.


WPML makes website translation convenient, and PTC does the same for your software.
PTC supports the file formats your software project relies on, including PO and POT files for WordPress themes and plugins, JSON files for JavaScript strings, and many more.
Connect your Git repository or use PTC’s API to receive continuous translation as your software evolves. No file uploads, no downloads, no manual steps.
PTC includes a free trial with enough translation credits to translate 5,000 words. Set up takes minutes:
