If you have decided to turn your online business or startup into a multilingual WordPress website, then I will recommend you WPML, but of course there are some questions to do to you first to really say go for it.

WordPress is one of the most useful content management system to create websites.

There are multiple forms to create websites, and there is no perfect solution to do it.

WordPress is one of the most known and also easy to use, therefore it has been the preferable platform to use.

As a business, we all have endlessly heard, you must have a website or you don’t exist.

And if you are aiming to build up a startup, then a website is just the first milestone.

Once defined that you want to use WordPress, and that you also want to reach international customers, there are multiple multilingual plugins to international customers.

I have a post in my website that I talk about the different multilingual WordPress plugins.

If you are considering to dedicate time to the translation, or have a multinational team of translator, then WPML could be an option as a multilingual plugin.

WPML is an easy to use plugin that has helped me to turn my website into a multilingual WordPress Website.

I focus on content creation, and I have a big word count, therefore that has been the main reason to choose WPML.

If you are a Startup that is going to focus on content, then go for it. Since you might need no limits on your word count.

WPML is improving its automatic translation with Deepl, therefore it is now competing better against the other translation plugin that I also recommend, Weglot.

When to use Weglot, rather than WPML?

If your startup is a Woocommerce Website, I would recommend better Weglot, since Weglot doesn’t get involved too much with your code.

This reduces the risk of some problems between the plugins.

Although Weglot also has its negative aspects, that you can read more about in my WPML vs Weglot.
