Translate Your WordPress Site – What Happens After the WPML Setup Wizard

If You Chose Translate Everything Automatically with PTC

PTC is translating your site in the background. New posts and edits get picked up as you publish them.

Three things worth knowing:

• Editing translations is free. Each page in each language is paid once. Rework copy, run A/B tests, tighten descriptions – none of it adds to the translation bill, until the page grows past what you originally paid for.
• PTC learns from your edits. When you change a translation, PTC notices and applies the same style on every translation that follows. You teach it once instead of re-fixing the same word on every page.
• You can still hand-pick translations. Most sites that run Translate Everything Automatically still review specific pages manually before publishing – open WPML > Translations and send what you want for individual handling.
