How to setup WordPress Machine Translation

Make use of our built in machine translation services. Translate your post or terms automatically without manual work.To use the machine translation services like Google Translate, DeepL or the Microsoft translation service you first need to get an API key.

When you got your API key go into plugin settings and enter the key into the service you want to use. You can then also specify what meta or data keys for posts or terms should be translated using the translation service. By default post data like post_title, post_content, post_excerpt will be translated and for terms it are name, slug, description.
