Signocore Multilanguage documentation

Signocore Multilanguage documentation: what it translates, which features are free and which need Pro, and where to start.

Signocore Multilanguage turns a WordPress site into a multilingual one. Every translation is its own post, page or term, linked to the original, so you write it in the editor you already use. Free and Pro are the same plugin. A license key switches on the Pro features, so you never reinstall anything to upgrade.

What it does

  • Translates posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags, custom taxonomies and media. A Translations box in the editor creates, duplicates or links the version in each language.
  • Adds a translation column, language tabs, filters, row actions and bulk actions to your content lists, so you can see and fill the gaps.
  • Flags a translation when its original changes, and can keep fields such as the featured image or the page template in sync between translations.
  • Gives each language its own menu, and translates text that does not live in a post, such as the site title, the tagline and widget text.
  • Serves each language at its own addresses: a directory such as example.com/es/, a subdomain or a separate domain.
  • Adds a language switcher as a block, a widget, a shortcode, menu items or a PHP function.
  • Prints hreflang tags, keeps XML sitemaps in line with each language and can send first-time visitors to the language their browser prefers.
  • Imports languages and translation links from WPML and Polylang, and answers the most used WPML hooks so theme code written for WPML keeps working.

You choose from 79 built-in languages and regional variants, such as Spanish (Mexico) and French (Canada). Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Kurdish and Urdu are shown right to left automatically.

The free plan allows two active languages, for example English and Spanish. The limit counts active languages only, and an import from WPML or Polylang follows it too. AI translation uses your own API key from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini or Mistral, see AI translation. See the Signocore Multilanguage product page for plans and pricing.

Where to start

  1. Installation and setup: install the plugin, run the setup wizard and add your languages.
  2. Switch from WPML or Polylang: bring over your languages and translation links if your site already has them.
  3. Translate posts, pages and terms: choose what can be translated and create your first translations.
  4. Language URLs: decide how the addresses of each language look before the site goes live.
  5. Language switcher: let visitors move between languages.
  6. String translation: translate the text your theme and plugins print outside posts.

Then read Visitor language and fallbacks and Multilingual SEO. With Pro, continue with AI translation and WooCommerce stores.
