Why Gloty
Own your translations.
Not a subscription to them.
Cloud translation services rent you your own content back — metered, capped, and stranded the day you stop paying. Gloty flips that.
Your data never leaves
Translations live in your WordPress database — not a vendor's cloud. The only outbound call is to the AI provider you choose, only when new text appears.
No word limits, ever
Weglot meters every word, every month. Gloty doesn't. Translate 10 pages or 10,000 — you pay for AI usage, not a subscription that punishes growth.
The AI you already trust
Bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, DeepL, or Google — or use Gloty managed credits. Switch providers anytime; you're never locked in.
Instant at render time
Translation happens in the background. Visitors are always served cached, local translations — pages stay fast and never wait on a remote API.
Everything included
A complete multilingual toolkit
Not a stripped-down free tier with the good parts locked away. Every core capability ships in the plugin — free.
Automatic page translation
Gloty intercepts your page output, extracts the text, and translates it on the fly — themes, plugins, and page builders included.
Visual translation editor
Click any string on your live site and correct its translation inline. Manual edits are protected and never overwritten by machine sync.
SEO built in
Reciprocal hreflang + x-default, per-language canonicals, translated titles, meta, Open Graph, JSON-LD, and sitemap alternates. Translates Yoast & Rank Math meta too.
Clean language URLs
Subdirectory routing under /fr/, /de/, /es/ — the structure search engines and users expect, with correct <html lang> on every page.
WooCommerce ready
Translates product titles, descriptions, attributes, cart, checkout, and order emails — including JS-rendered blocks via language-pack install.
Glossary control
Keep brand names verbatim across every language, or force a specific translation per term. Glossary hits skip the translator entirely and save quota.
Language switcher
A floating widget, a shortcode, or a Gutenberg block — with flags, positioning, and styles that match your theme.
Structure-safe parsing
HTML tags, shortcodes, and placeholders like %s and {0} are preserved verbatim. A validation guard stops a bad format string from ever breaking a page.
Developer-friendly
WP-CLI (translate, status, export, import), a REST API, filters, and custom providers. CSV import/export for translation teams.
How it works
Live in four steps
No developer required. Connect a provider, pick languages, and Gloty handles the rest — asynchronously, so your site never waits on a translation API.
- 01
Connect a provider
Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepL, or Google key — or a Gloty managed license. Two minutes, no code.
- 02
Pick your languages
Choose from 125+ locales. Set your source language once and add as many targets as you like.
- 03
Gloty translates in the background
It extracts every translatable string — pages, posts, UI, WooCommerce — batches them, and translates asynchronously. Your site never waits.
- 04
Serve fast, local pages
Translations are cached in your database and served under clean language URLs. Refine anything in the visual editor; your edits stay protected.
Gloty vs. cloud SaaS
The same multilingual site — without the rent
Weglot and its peers are excellent products. But they store your content and charge by the word, forever. Here's the side-by-side.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Weglot stores your translations in its cloud and charges per word, per month, with hard caps. With Gloty, your translations live in your own WordPress database: there's no word meter, and if you ever stop paying, your translated content stays yours.
No. Translation runs in the background and results are cached locally. At render time, visitors are always served fast, pre-translated pages — Gloty never calls a remote API while a page is loading.
The plugin is free and GPL-licensed. Bring your own AI key and you pay the provider directly for usage — often just a few dollars, one time, since translations are cached. Prefer zero setup? A managed plan includes AI credits with no separate key. Estimate your case with our translation cost calculator.
To self-host for free, yes — you connect a key from OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepL, or Google, and pay that provider directly for usage. Or skip keys entirely and use a Gloty managed plan, where credits are included.
Absolutely. Open the visual editor, click the text, and correct it inline. Human edits are protected — machine re-sync will never silently overwrite a translation you've corrected.
In your own WordPress database. Gloty never keeps a copy of your content in an external SaaS. The only outbound request is to your chosen AI provider, and only when new text is discovered.
Yes. Gloty translates WooCommerce products, cart, checkout, and emails, and works with Elementor, Beaver Builder, and Divi because it operates at the HTML output level. It also installs WordPress language packs so JS-rendered blocks localize too.
Gloty ships a full SEO suite: reciprocal hreflang with x-default, per-language canonical URLs, translated titles and meta, Open Graph, JSON-LD, and sitemap alternates. It also translates Yoast SEO and Rank Math meta instead of fighting them.
WordPress 6.4+ and PHP 8.1+. Gloty is optimized to run well on typical shared hosting — including sites without a persistent object cache.
