The Automatic Translate Addon for TranslatePress (Pro) is a powerful extension designed to automate the labor-intensive process of translating a WordPress website. While the core TranslatePress plugin provides a superior visual interface for manual translation, this addon connects your site to world-class machine translation engines to translate your entire database instantly.
In late 2025, it is considered the gold standard for businesses looking to "go global" overnight without hiring an expensive team of translators.
The addon functions as a bridge between your WordPress site and a translation API. It scans your content, sends it to the cloud for translation, and saves the results directly into your local database.
DeepL & Google Translate Integration: You can choose between the nuance of DeepL (widely considered the most "human-sounding" AI) or the sheer language volume of Google Translate.
One-Click Bulk Translation: Instead of translating page by page, the Pro addon allows you to trigger a site-wide translation, covering posts, pages, metadata, and even WooCommerce products in minutes.
Translate Once, Keep Forever: Unlike dynamic translation widgets that translate on the fly every time a page loads, this addon saves the strings to your database. This is better for SEO and prevents recurring API costs for the same content.

The most effective way to use this addon is the "Machine First, Human Second" approach:
Automate: Use the addon to translate 100% of your site into your target languages (e.g., Spanish, French, German).
Refine: Use the TranslatePress Visual Editor to manually "tweak" any industry-specific jargon or slogans that the AI might have missed.
SEO Dominance: Because the translations are stored in your database, Google can index your site in multiple languages. This allows you to rank for keywords in foreign languages that have much lower competition than English.
Cost Savings: Hiring a professional translator for a 50-page website can cost thousands. The API cost for DeepL or Google Translate via this addon is usually a fraction of that (often under $20 for a standard site).
Dynamic Content: If you have an e-commerce store with rotating stock, the addon ensures that new products are translated the moment they are published.
When using automatic translation, context is everything.
Recommendation: Always prioritize DeepL for European languages (German, French, Spanish) as it handles formal vs. informal grammar better than Google. However, if you are expanding into Asian markets (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), Google Translate remains the more robust engine due to its massive linguistic dataset.
