LinguaVox provides professional WordPress translation services for companies, digital marketing agencies, e-commerce retailers and private clients who need their WordPress sites localised with precision and a clear technical workflow. Working in translation since 2000, we manage WordPress localisation projects in more than 150 languages.

A translated website has to sound natural and fit the user journey, search intent and market conventions of the target language. Each request is assessed according to the source language, target language, subject matter and the multilingual plugins running on your installation. A simple blog, a busy WooCommerce store and a corporate site built with page builders each call for a different technical approach if layout problems are to be avoided after import.

The most reliable WordPress workflow starts before translation. Menus, widgets, forms, SEO fields, product attributes, slugs, theme strings and automated emails should be identified first, so the translated site is less likely to contain mixed-language elements after import.

Working with WPML, Polylang and multilingual plugins

We do not recommend copying and pasting text from WordPress into Word. The most efficient way to translate a WordPress site is through established multilingual plugins such as WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin) or Polylang.

We work directly with these systems. With WPML, you can package your pages, posts and products and export them as XLIFF files from the WordPress dashboard. We process those files in our professional translation software and return them for you to upload back into WPML. This reduces the risk of formatting, page-structure and manual-entry problems during reimport. With Polylang and some custom setups the workflow is string-based rather than file-based; in those cases we agree the export or connector method in advance, and we can translate against a staging copy so the live site is updated only once the new language version is complete.

Translating themes, plugins and shortcodes

A WordPress site combines core content, theme settings and third-party plugins. Translating only the main page text often leaves buttons, footer widgets, contact forms and navigation menus in the original language.

Our process identifies and translates the strings that matter, including theme elements, contact forms such as Contact Form 7 or WPForms, and slider plugins. Many sites also rely on page builders such as Elementor, Divi or WPBakery, which generate complex shortcodes. Our tools recognise those shortcodes and keep them outside the editable translation content where possible, exposing only the translatable text to the linguist and reducing the risk of layout problems when the translated content is imported.

WooCommerce and e-commerce localisation

For retailers using WooCommerce, translating product listings is only the start. A successful international store needs the whole purchasing journey localised.

We translate WooCommerce product titles, descriptions, variable attributes such as sizes and colours, categories and shipping policies. We also translate the parts of the experience that are easy to overlook: shopping-cart notifications, checkout error messages and the automated transactional emails sent after purchase. Adapting these elements supports a clear, trustworthy experience and helps reduce cart abandonment in foreign markets.

SEO metadata for WordPress

A translated WordPress site is only useful if international users can find it. SEO is part of our WordPress workflow.

We translate the metadata produced by popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Rank Math and All in One SEO, including focus keyphrases, SEO titles, meta descriptions and image ALT text. By adapting these elements to the natural search terms of your target audience, we help your translated pages compete in local search results.

Requesting a reliable WordPress translation quote

The most reliable way to request a quote is to export your content as XLIFF or XML using your multilingual plugin and send it to us, with the language pairs, the deadline and the target countries.

If you are unsure how to export, you can send a list of URLs or an estimated word count, along with details of your theme and plugins. Our quotations reflect the workflow involved. Word count is the primary factor, but the complexity of the e-commerce setup, the volume of theme strings and the integration method will shape the final scope and timeline.

Frequently asked questions

Is your service compatible with WPML and Polylang?

Yes. Our translation software works with XLIFF files exported from WPML and with compatible export workflows used with Polylang or other multilingual setups, supporting a controlled export-and-import process that keeps your site structure intact where the technical setup allows it.

Can you translate WooCommerce product descriptions and attributes?

Yes. We translate WooCommerce elements including product descriptions, categories, variable attributes, checkout interfaces and automated customer emails, so that the localised shopping experience is complete rather than partial.

How do you handle WordPress shortcodes and theme builders?

Our tools recognise and protect the shortcodes generated by page builders such as Elementor and Divi. The translator works only on the actual text, which reduces the risk of layout problems when the content is reimported.

Do you translate SEO metadata from Yoast or Rank Math?

Yes. If you export your SEO fields through your multilingual plugin, we translate the Yoast or Rank Math title tags, meta descriptions and focus keyphrases to support your pages in international search.

Do I need to give you access to my WordPress dashboard?

No. We generally do not need administrative access. The standard, safer method is for you to export the content as XLIFF or XML, which we translate and return for you to reimport.
