LocoAI – Auto Translate For Loco Translate

LocoAI – Auto Translate For Loco Translate is a WordPress plugin extension that enhances the functionality of the popular Loco Translate plugin by adding automatic translation capabilities using third-party machine translation services like Google Translate, Yandex Translate, DeepL, ChatGPT, Gemini AI, OpenAI and Chrome Built-in AI.

Loco Translate is primarily a manual translation tool for translating WordPress themes and plugins from within the WordPress admin. However, it doesn’t include built-in support for automatic translations. That’s where our Automatic Translate Addon comes in.

How It Works

Key Features

  • AI-powered Translators: Support advanced AI-powered translators like Yandex Translate, and OpenAI to provide highly accurate, natural, and context-aware translations without any paid API.

  • Enhanced Accuracy: This addon supports advanced AI-powered and machine translators for improved accuracy and context understanding.

  • One-Click Automatic Translation: Easily translate all translatable strings in any plugin or theme within a single click without any manual input.

  • Unlimited Free Translations: Automatically translate an unlimited number of plugin and theme strings using the supported translation providers.

  • Edit Translations: Refine and improve machine-translated strings directly within Loco Translate’s built-in editor for better accuracy and readability.

  • Loco Translate Integration: LocoAI works directly inside the Loco Translate editor by adding automatic translation capabilities to the workflow you already know and use.

  • Multiple Languages Support: Translate WordPress plugin and theme strings into a wide range of languages supported by the available translation providers.
