Wimpel — WordPress Translation Plugin

Wimpel at a glance

Is Wimpel well maintained?

• Set up languages freely: code, display name, short label or flag, and hreflang code
• Link translations directly in the meta box on the post, with a search
• Create a translation draft with one click: Wimpel copies title, content and excerpt into a draft and links it
• hreflang links in the page source, bidirectional, with self-reference and x-default
• Language switcher as a block and as the shortcode [wimpel], with its own small stylesheet; compact with the short label only for a header
• Language column and language filter in the post and page lists, including a “+ EN” link for missing translations
• Home page per language: if a page has no translation, the switcher leads there instead of nowhere
• “Source changed since the translation” on every translation, with a list of what changed, so you know where to look
• You choose which content types all of this applies to
• Right-to-left languages (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu and more) get the right text direction per page, including the theme’s RTL stylesheet
• Menu items follow the language of the page, in classic menus and in the Navigation block
• Bulk action and REST route to create translation drafts for many pages at once
