Linguana vs Polylang

Linguana translates and localizes websites, with integrations for Webflow, Framer, Carrd, Wix, WordPress and Kajabi. It combines AI translation with manual editing: AI uses Google Cloud Translations at one credit per translated word, while manual translations do not consume credits. Linguana lists 109 languages for AI translation. It can localize URL slugs and metadata, and parse page titles, media files and alt tags for multilingual SEO. Website content is cached and translated static pages are served from its CDN. Setup is described as a no-code process, but website changes must be synced, translated and published manually. The free plan includes one translated language, one website and 2,000 AI credits, with no custom domains. The yearly pricing view lists Starter at $19 a month for three languages, one website, custom domains and 10,000 credits. Included AI credits are a one-time grant and do not renew; pricing lists no charges per page or visitor.

Polylang is a WordPress plugin for building multilingual websites and translating WordPress content. It handles pages, posts, media, categories, tags, custom post types, menus, and widgets, with language URLs arranged as subdirectories, subdomains, or separate domains. Polylang Pro supports manual translation and DeepL machine translation using the customer's own API key. Pro also offers language switchers, browser-language detection, translated URL slugs, hreflang and Open Graph tags, and language-specific meta tags. It integrates with the WordPress block editor and Site Editor and supports the REST API and XLIFF translation-project import and export. Listed integrations include WooCommerce and Yoast SEO. The free WordPress plugin costs nothing; Pro licenses start at €99 a year, ex VAT. A multilingual WooCommerce shop also needs the Polylang for WooCommerce add-on. DeepL is not currently compatible with Elementor and some builders, and there is no one-click translate-everything feature.
