Tranzly vs WPML

In Tranzly's own words.

Here is how the two work. Tranzly is a free plugin on WordPress.org that supports unlimited languages and does no word counting, since translation runs through your own DeepL or AI account. WPML has been around for a long time, is a paid WordPress translation plugin, and charges for yearly plans that come with a fixed quantity of AI-translated words.

Where Tranzly stands out

• The free edition on WordPress.org covers unlimited languages, plus translated addresses, hreflang and sitemaps.
• Words are not capped. Your translation service gets paid directly by you, so there are no word allowances to purchase.
• Each translated page adds two database queries at most, and no cookie is set, which leaves caches working.
• With Tranzly Pro you can bring across WPML's languages, translations and translated texts, and the import can be reversed.

Where WPML is strong

• Each paid plan comes with a yearly allowance of AI-translated words, so you do not have to set up a separate translation account.
• Alongside DeepL, Google Translate and Microsoft Translator, it provides a translation engine of its own.
