2 ratingsLATW AI Translation for WPML is an add-on for WPML that adds an AI-powered translator to your existing WPML Translation Management workflow. It does not replace WPML — WPML still handles the multilingual structure of your site (language switching, translation jobs, string translation, WooCommerce Multilingual, and so on); this plugin registers an additional translator inside that pipeline that translates content automatically using the OpenAI API.
Uses your own OpenAI API key
WPML’s own automatic translation feature is billed through WPML translation credits. This plugin works differently: you connect your own OpenAI API key, and translation requests are billed directly by OpenAI at their standard API rates. For most content, this means a lower per-word cost than buying WPML translation credits, since you pay OpenAI’s usage-based pricing with no added markup from this plugin. You are responsible for your own OpenAI billing and usage limits.
Features
- AI-Powered Translations – Uses OpenAI GPT models (including GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5) for natural, context-aware translations
- Deep WPML Integration – Runs entirely through WPML’s Translation Management pipeline via a dedicated AI translator user. Anything WPML can translate, this plugin can translate
- Full WooCommerce Integration – Translates WooCommerce products, descriptions, and product attribute taxonomies (
pa_*) such as Color, Size and custom attributes - WPML String Translation – Translate interface strings, theme/plugin strings and other entries from WPML String Translation directly through the plugin
- Page Builder Support – Full support for Elementor and Bricks Builder. Other builders compatible with WPML should also work but have not been tested
- ACF Support – Translates Advanced Custom Fields content
- Glossary – Define preferred terms and translations to keep terminology consistent across your whole site
- Translation History – Review every past translation, inspect what was sent and returned, and track status over time
- Batch Processing – Queue and process multiple translations efficiently using an unlimited background queue
- Custom Prompts – Customize translation prompts for your specific needs
- SEO Friendly – Works with Yoast SEO, Rank Math, SEOPress and All in One SEO (AIOSEO). Translates meta titles and descriptions
- Reliable Category Translation – Categories and custom taxonomies are resolved and assigned atomically to avoid WPML sync conflicts
Translations are pushed through WPML’s own Translation Management pipeline. On activation the plugin creates a dedicated virtual translator user — latwaitr_ai_bot (shown in WPML as “LATW AI Translator”) — and registers it with WPML as a local translator for your active language pairs. Whenever you assign content to this translator in WPML’s Translation Management screen, the plugin picks the job up automatically, translates it with OpenAI, and sends the result back into WPML. In practice this means: if something works with WPML, it works here. The plugin does not reinvent translation routing — it rides WPML’s pipeline, so any content type, field, or third-party integration that WPML knows how to translate can be handled by the AI bot.

Third-Party Services
This plugin connects to the following external services:
OpenAI API
This plugin sends content to OpenAI’s API for translation processing.
- Service URL: https://api.openai.com/
- Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/privacy/
- Terms of Use: https://openai.com/terms/
Your content is sent to OpenAI only when you initiate a translation. No data is sent without user action.
All requests are sent directly from the user’s WordPress server to OpenAI.
The free version allows you to translate all your content to English. All features are available.
Visit our website to purchase a Pro license. Once purchased, you’ll receive a license key to enter in the plugin settings.
Yes, WPML is required. This plugin is an add-on for WPML — it extends WPML’s translation capabilities with AI-powered automatic translations and does not work as a standalone translation solution.
You can get an API key from OpenAI’s website. You’ll need to create an account and add billing information.
Translation costs depend on the OpenAI model you choose and the amount of content. GPT-5.4-nano is the most cost-effective option. The plugin shows estimated costs before translation. Note: OpenAI API costs are separate from the Pro license.
The plugin supports GPT-5, GPT-5-mini, GPT-5-nano, GPT-5.4, GPT-5.4-mini, GPT-5.4-nano and GPT-5.5. The default model is GPT-5.4-nano, the fastest and most cost-effective option.
On activation the plugin creates a dedicated virtual user, latwaitr_ai_bot (displayed in WPML as “LATW AI Translator”), and registers it with WPML as a local translator. When you assign content to this translator in WPML’s Translation Management screen, the plugin automatically detects the job, translates it with OpenAI, and returns the result through WPML’s pipeline. This means anything WPML can send for translation — posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products, strings and more — can be handled by the AI bot.
Yes. The plugin offers full WooCommerce integration. It translates products and their content as well as product attribute taxonomies (pa_*) such as Color, Size and any custom attributes. Because the plugin works through WPML, anything WooCommerce content that WPML can translate is supported.
Yes. The plugin integrates with WPML String Translation, so you can batch-translate interface strings, theme strings and plugin strings through OpenAI directly from the plugin.
Yes. You can define a glossary of preferred terms and their translations. The plugin applies it during translation so terminology stays consistent across your entire site.
Yes. The Translation History page lets you review every past translation, inspect what was sent and returned, and track the status of each job.
Yes, you can add a website description and custom instructions to improve translation quality and context.
Yes, the plugin has full support for Elementor and Bricks Builder. Other page builders that are compatible with WPML should also work, but have not been officially tested.
Translations are processed using WordPress Cron for reliable background processing without timeouts.
When your license expires, you can continue using the plugin version you have, but you won’t receive updates. To access newer versions, you’ll need to renew your license. The English only version continues to work without any license.
