Why multilingual sites underperform
-
01
Wrong pages in search
Google shows the English page to German users because hreflang is missing or broken.
-
02
Half-translated pages
Menus, forms, emails and checkout text stay in the original language.
-
03
Slower with every language
The translation plugin adds database queries to every page, and load times climb.
-
04
Currency and tax mismatches
Prices, currencies and VAT do not match the visitor's country.
-
05
Copy-paste translation
Editors copy text into spreadsheets, send it to translators and paste it back by hand.
-
06
Machine translation with no review
Auto-translated pages go live with errors that hurt trust and sales.

What our clients say
Multilingual WordPress FAQ
Quick answers on plugins, SEO and stores.
WPML or Polylang: which is better?
WPML suits stores and sites with many languages and translators. Polylang is lighter and cheaper for content sites with fewer languages.
How long does multilingual WordPress development take?
Adding languages to an existing site takes 2-3 weeks. A multilingual store takes 4-6 weeks, and a multi-market platform 8-12 weeks.
Do you translate the content?
No, we do not write translations. We set up the workflow for your translators, a translation service or machine translation with review.
What is hreflang and why does it matter?
Hreflang tells Google which language version to show in each country. Without it, the wrong version ranks and visitors leave.
Subfolders, subdomains or separate domains?
Subfolders are simplest and keep SEO strength on one domain. Separate domains make sense when each market runs as its own business.
Can prices and currencies differ per country?
Yes. WooCommerce can show local currencies, fixed prices per market and country-specific taxes and payment methods.
