Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML – AI Translation Plugin for WordPress

Translate WordPress and WPML more affordably with AI

Multilingual WordPress websites are extremely important for international visibility, SEO, and customer acquisition. At the same time, translations with WPML, professional translation services, or manual maintenance can quickly become expensive and time-consuming.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML is a WordPress plugin that translates content using artificial intelligence and integrates cleanly with WPML.

The plugin uses the OpenAI API to translate posts, pages, and public custom post types into active WPML languages. The generated translations are created or updated as normal WordPress content and correctly linked to the original via the official WPML language connections.

This allows you to create multilingual WordPress content more efficiently, reduce translation costs, and expand your website internationally faster.

AI Translation for WPML Websites

WPML is one of the best-known systems for multilingual WordPress websites. However, especially with many pages, posts, landing pages, or products, translation can quickly become complex.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML extends WPML with a flexible AI translation feature using OpenAI.

You select content in the WordPress backend, specify the source and target languages, and start the translation directly from the admin area.

The plugin translates key content fields such as:

• Title
• Content
• Excerpt
• Slug
• Pages
• Posts
• Public Custom Post Types
• WPBakery/Visual Composer content with structured text processing

This makes the plugin especially suitable for WordPress websites that already use WPML and want to make their translation processes more efficient.

Clean WPML Linking Without ATE Hacks

An important advantage of Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML is the clean technical integration with WPML.

The plugin does not create detached copies or use unclean workarounds. Instead, translations are created or updated as normal WordPress posts and linked to the original via WPML’s language and translation group mechanisms.

This means:

• Translations remain within the normal WordPress structure
• WPML recognizes the language links
• Content is correctly assigned to a target language
• Existing translations can be updated
• No direct manipulation of WPML’s Advanced Translation Editor is required
• The website remains technically cleaner and easier to maintain

This makes the plugin particularly interesting for agencies, website operators, and companies that use WPML professionally but want more control over AI translations.

OpenAI Instead of Expensive Translation Credits

Many website operators are looking for a more cost-efficient way to translate WordPress content. Especially for large websites, shops, or content projects, automatic translation costs can quickly rise.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML uses your own OpenAI API connection. This allows you to generate translations via a flexibly configurable AI model and better control your costs.

Among other things, the backend allows you to configure:

• OpenAI API Key
• AI Model
• Custom Model
• Temperature
• maximum output tokens
• Timeout
• Retry attempts
• Reasoning effort
• JSON mode
• Default target languages
• Publication status of translations
• whether slugs are translated
• whether excerpts are translated
• whether existing translations are updated
• Debug and logging options

This allows the plugin to be adapted to different website types, quality requirements, and cost structures.

Easily select content in the WordPress backend

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML includes its own admin dashboard, which is oriented similarly to a translation management workflow.

You can filter content by content type and source language, search by titles, select multiple entries, and then translate them into one or more target languages.

This is especially useful for websites with a lot of content, for example:

• Corporate websites
• Blogs
• Knowledge bases
• Landing page systems
• multilingual service pages
• international websites
• WooCommerce-related content structures
• Websites with custom post types
• Agency projects with many client sites

Instead of copying each page manually one by one, you can start translations more structured and faster directly from WordPress.

Bulk translation for pages, posts, and custom post types

The plugin recognizes public WordPress content types and makes them selectable in the translation dashboard.

This allows you to translate not only classic posts and pages but also many custom post types, provided they are publicly registered.

Possible areas of application:

• regular WordPress pages
• Blog posts
• Landing pages
• Portfolio entries
• Service pages
• Knowledge articles
• Product-related content
• Content blocks and content elements
• Individual custom post types

This is especially valuable for agencies and larger websites because translations can be managed more systematically across different content types.

Better translate WPBakery and Visual Composer content

Many WordPress websites use page builders like WPBakery or Visual Composer. These often store content in shortcodes, attributes, and nested layout structures.

A simple AI translation can damage such layouts if shortcodes, HTML, or technical placeholders are altered incorrectly.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML therefore includes a special WPBakery text engine. It recognizes typical WPBakery content, extracts translatable text segments, and then reinserts the translated content into the original structure.

The goal:

• Preserve layout structure
• Protect shortcodes
• Avoid unnecessary changes to technical attributes
• Translate visible texts
• Process page builder content more controlled
• Better prepare WPBakery pages for AI translations

This makes the plugin especially interesting for existing WordPress websites built with WPBakery, Visual Composer, or similar shortcode-based layouts.

Create translations as draft, pending, or published

Not every AI translation should go live immediately. Therefore, the plugin allows setting the status that new or updated translations should receive.

Possible workflows:

• Create translations as drafts and review manually
• Save translations as pending
• Publish translations directly
• Targeted update of existing translations
• Optionally translate slugs and excerpts
• Release content after review

This keeps control with the website operator or editorial team.

Especially for legal, medical, technical, or brand-sensitive content, a review process makes sense. The plugin supports this workflow by not requiring AI translations to be published automatically.

Logging, debugging, and transparent processes

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML includes logging and debug functions so that translation processes can be better understood.

There is a dedicated area for logs in the backend. There, errors, warnings, and technical processes can be reviewed.

This is especially important for professional websites, agency projects, and more complex WPML setups where translations must work reliably.

Typical benefits:

• Better error diagnosis
• Traceable translation workflows
• Control in case of API issues
• Transparent responses to WPML conflicts
• Helpful information for support and further development

Defensive integration for professional WordPress setups

The plugin is designed to handle dependencies defensively. If WPML, WooCommerce, ACF, or WPBakery are not present, the plugin should not cause unnecessary errors.

Detected components are displayed in the dashboard, including:

• WPML
• WooCommerce
• ACF
• WPBakery
• OpenAI API Key

This quickly shows whether the environment is ready for translations and which systems have been detected in the project.

For international websites, agencies, and WPML projects

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML is especially suitable for WordPress websites already using WPML and looking to transfer content more efficiently into multiple languages.

Ideal for:

• WordPress agencies
• WPML agencies
• multilingual corporate websites
• international landing pages
• SEO projects with multiple languages
• blogs and content hubs
• websites with many pages
• Websites with custom post types
• page builder websites
• companies looking to reduce translation costs

For agencies, the plugin can be a valuable tool to implement multilingual website projects faster and manage ongoing translations more efficiently.

Create multilingual SEO content faster

International SEO only works if content is created, linked, and indexable cleanly in the right languages.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML helps deliver multilingual content faster and transfer existing pages more efficiently to other markets.

The plugin is especially suitable for websites that already have a strong content base in one language and want to roll it out structurally into other languages.

From manual translation to scalable AI workflows

Manual translation is high quality but often slow and expensive for many pages. Fully automatic translation is fast but not always controllable.

Nakaryu AI Translator for WPML offers a pragmatic middle ground:

AI takes over the first translation step.
WordPress and WPML maintain the structure.
Editorial team or agency retain control.

This creates scalable translation processes that integrate better into professional WordPress projects.
