I built a WPML add-on that lets you use your own OpenAI API key for translations instead of buying WPML credits
Hey everyone, I've been running multilingual WordPress sites for a while and one thing that always bugged me was WPML's translation credit system. The credits work, but they're expensive, especially if you have a lot of content to translate.
So I built a plugin that hooks into WPML and lets you use your own OpenAI API key instead. You get the same WPML workflow you're used to, but translations go through GPT directly. The cost difference is massive, we're talking roughly 1400x cheaper per word compared to WPML's credits.
It supports Elementor, ACF fields, Yoast/RankMath meta, and batch processing via WP Cron so it doesn't time out on large sites.
There's a free version on wordpress.org that translates to English (no limits, no trial), and a Pro version ($35/year) that unlocks all WPML languages.
Would love to hear feedback from anyone dealing with multilingual WP sites. What's your current translation setup and what pain points do you run into?
