It allows you to create and manage multilingual WordPress websites seamlessly. Its power is hidden in the ability to translate astonishingly accurate blog posts, pages, custom post types, taxonomies, menus, and even themes and plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve tested many such tools over the years, and we can honestly say that WPML is the most cost-efficient. The plugin has some outstanding features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Multiple Language Support<\/strong>: Supports over 40 languages and allows you to add custom languages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>String Translation<\/strong>: Helps translate theme and plugin texts that are not part of regular posts or pages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SEO-Friendly<\/strong>: Works with Yoast SEO and other SEO plugins to ensure proper multilingual SEO optimization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E-commerce Support<\/strong>: Compatible with WooCommerce for multilingual e-commerce stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Automatic Translation<\/strong>: Uses services like Google Translate, DeepL, and Microsoft Translator for AI-powered translations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Translation Management<\/strong>: Offers tools to assign translation tasks to different users or professional translation services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To top it all off, WPML offers rich documentation and outstanding support. Unsurprisingly, over 1 million users already have this multi-language tool installed on their websites. Today, WPML helps users translate their content in over 65 languages.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML.jpg\" alt=\"WPML logo\" class=\"wp-image-5119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-1110x532.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-768x368.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-24x12.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-36x17.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WPML-48x23.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Finally, we must also address the pricing. It&#8217;s not only among the most affordable options on the market, but it also has transparent pricing. This allows you to plan ahead if your brand is going to scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you get Polylang, which offers far fewer features than WPML, for 1 website, you will pay the same price. However, you will pay 50% more for five websites with Polylang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, WPML was designed with scalability in mind. That&#8217;s why they use not one, not two, but 70 integrated translation services for their plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-use-wpml\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_WPML\"><\/span>Why Use WPML<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer is simple. It&#8217;s the best plugin for multi-language websites. But why do you need such a plugin at all? Well, there are quite a few reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reach-a-wider-audience\">Reach A Wider Audience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will attract more visitors by offering your website content in multiple languages. This will enlarge your audience in size, demographics, and culture, so you must be much more careful about what you say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-communicate-better-with-non-native-speakers\">Communicate Better With Non-Native Speakers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, you will communicate better with people speaking a different language than your own. Moreover, many who don&#8217;t speak your website&#8217;s native language freely will feel much more comfortable receiving your message in their own language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-increase-engagement\">Increase Engagement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, this will increase engagement on your website. The more people stay on your website, the higher the chance they will take some action. Whether it&#8217;s subscribing to your newsletter, reading a few blogs, or just browsing your products, it&#8217;s all part of the customer journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, you will receive higher conversion rates, lower bounce rates, and better customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enhance-seo\">Enhance SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>People usually search for solutions in their local language. For example, if a Spanish person is looking for power to clean his driveway, they won&#8217;t be searching for it in English. So, if you&#8217;re selling power washers globally, the only way to reach this audience is in their own language. That&#8217;s hardly a surprise, as the typed keywords will be in Spanish. Of course, WPML won&#8217;t get you to Google&#8217;s first page alone. Still it&#8217;s a crucial tool if you want to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-a-competitive-edge\">Get A Competitive Edge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will always stand out from the bunch if you speak the customer&#8217;s language. Most websites prefer to stick to one language. For small brands with global reach, that&#8217;s usually English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, this significantly reduces their outreach in non-English-speaking countries. Naturally, communicating in the customer&#8217;s native language will give you a huge competitive advantage over other global stores that use only English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-international-recognition\">Get International Recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A multilingual website puts you in the same league as the big brands in your industry. It&#8217;s a sign of professionalism and global presence. Along with higher search engine rankings, a multilingual website enhances your credibility, making your business more attractive to international customers. By offering content in multiple languages, you demonstrate cultural awareness and a commitment to serving diverse markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, localization goes beyond translation. It ensures your messaging resonates with different audiences by adapting to their preferences, values, and customs. This can lead to increased engagement, customer trust, and ultimately, higher conversion rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a world where consumers expect personalized experiences, a multilingual website sets you apart from competitors who only cater to a single language group. It\u2019s a strategic move that opens doors to new opportunities, partnerships, and revenue streams on a global scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-who-is-wpml-for\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_is_WPML_for\"><\/span>Who is WPML for<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>WPML is for everyone who wants to go global and talk with local audiences in their native language. While anyone from freelancers to Fortune 500 companies can use the plugin, these are the websites that will benefit the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Businesses Expanding Globally<\/strong>. Companies looking to enter new markets will benefit from a multilingual site and being able to communicate their messages in the native language.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bloggers and Content Creators<\/strong>. Niche blogs can face serious challenges if focusing only on domestic audiences. Thus, communicating on a global scale can increase not only their audience, but also their advertisers and sponsors as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>E-commerce stores<\/strong>. This one is pretty self-explanatory. You can seamlessly integrate WPML into your WooCommerce. This makes it the perfect tool for translating your listings and product information into the native language of every country you operate in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Agencies and Web Developers<\/strong>. Whether you own a marketing, SEO, or web development agency, using WPML will give you a significant advantage over other international agencies that only use English in their communication.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>SaaS Websites<\/strong>. SaaS products are, by definition, international. Their domain is the internet, yet their users come from various locations, demographics, and backgrounds. Thus, with WPML, you can communicate much better and more straightforwardly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Nonprofit and Educational Institutions<\/strong>. Speaking in the local language allows nonprofits and educational institutions to spread information much more efficiently.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel and Hospitality Businesses<\/strong>. Your primary target is people from other countries. Thus, speaking their language will give you a huge boost over your competitors. Moreover, it will allow you to generate more quality leads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>WPML is a powerful tool for anyone who needs to reach a broader, more diverse audience by breaking down language barriers. Whether you&#8217;re managing a blog, a business, or an e-commerce platform, it&#8217;s a flexible and scalable solution for multilingual websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-install-wordpress-and-set-up-wpml-on-a-sub-domain-with-hostarmada\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Install_WordPress_and_Set_Up_WPML_on_a_Sub-Domain_With_HostArmada\"><\/span>How To Install WordPress and Set Up WPML on a Sub-Domain With HostArmada<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>HostAramda provides an easy method of setting up WordPress, which is the main prerequisite for actually setting up WPML and using multiple languages.
