Nothing to translate by hand first
New content is readable in every language the moment it's published — no manual pass required before it's ready.
Alternatives
LocaleReady vs TranslatePress
The closest cousin on this list — really just a question of what happens by default.
The short version: TranslatePress hands you a nice hands-on editor, with automatic translation available on top. LocaleReady translates automatically first, and gives you that same hands-on control whenever you want to step in.
| What matters | LocaleReady | TranslatePress |
|---|---|---|
| The basic idea | Translate everything automatically first. You only step in to fix or improve something. | Translate it yourself, in a point-and-click editor over your live page. Automatic translation is available on top of that. |
| Where translations are kept | On your own WordPress site — the same general idea TranslatePress uses. | On your own WordPress site, in its own tables. |
| Automatic translation | The default for anything new, using your own connected DeepL or Google account, with one as a backup for the other. | Available through Google or DeepL, usually as an extra layered on top of the hands-on editor. |
| Protecting a price or a brand name | Prices are recognized and left alone automatically. Brand names are a short list you set once. | Whatever the automatic translation gets wrong, you catch and fix by hand in the editor. |
| Shops and forms | Cart, checkout, order emails, and form confirmations — all handled properly, right out of the box. | Translates the page these plugins show. Things that update after the page loads depend on what the editor can catch. |
| Keeping an eye on cost | A monthly cap you set yourself, with a heads-up before you hit it, and nothing sent to a provider from a test site by default. | Whatever your automatic-translation add-on plan includes. |
Why choose LocaleReady
Shops and forms, handled from day one

Questions
Is LocaleReady basically the same as TranslatePress?+
They're closer than most — both translate your real page and save the result on your own site, rather than making a copy elsewhere or sending it off somewhere else. The real difference is what happens by default: TranslatePress expects you to translate by hand, with automatic translation as an extra. LocaleReady translates automatically from the start.
Can I still translate by hand with LocaleReady?+
Yes — right from the Translations screen, or from the language panel on the post itself, which can also ask AI to improve a translation rather than rewrite it from scratch.
Does LocaleReady have a free option like TranslatePress?+
No. LocaleReady is a paid yearly license by site count, with nothing gated behind a separate add-on purchase.
Give LocaleReady a try
Automatic from the start, with just as much hands-on control when you want it.
