Curious how common it is among devs here. Do clients ask for multilingual sites often, and is it something you actually deliver or usually skip?

I've been working on a plugin that translates posts, pages and WooCommerce products using ChatGPT API, it works as an add-on to WPML, supports Gutenberg and Elementor. Clients use their own API key so the running cost stays on their end.

Wondering if something like this would fit into anyone's workflow, or if translation is just not something most of you deal with.

Do you offer website translation services?

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?
