## Description

**Experience a better way to translate your WordPress site and go multilingual, 
directly from the front-end using a visual translation interface. The built-in AI
translation lets you translate automatically, then refine anything visually.**

WooCommerce.

Built the WordPress way, TranslatePress – Multilingual is a GPL and self hosted 
translation plugin, meaning you’ll own all your translations, forever. It’s the 
fastest way to create a bilingual or [multilingual site](https://translatepress.com/how-to-create-a-multilingual-wordpress-site/?utm_source=wp.org&utm_medium=tp-description-page&utm_campaign=TPFree).
