slLatin scriptHow to translate WordPress to Slovenian
Slovenian (Slovenščina) reaches roughly ~2.5 millionspeakers. Here's what's actually involved in translating a WordPress site into it — the technical setup, the Slovenian-specific gotchas, and the SEO.
What's specific to Slovenian
Most of translating WordPress is the same in any language, but each language has quirks that break layouts or SEO if you ignore them. For Slovenian:
- Slovenian keeps the grammatical dual (for exactly two) — a distinct form most languages lack. Let a real translator/engine handle counts.
- Uses č, š, ž; confirm font coverage.
- Formality: ti (informal) vs. vi (formal).
Step by step
1. Add Slovenian as a target language
Set your source language, then add Slovenian (sl) as a target. With an automatic plugin you don't create a translated copy of every page by hand — it translates on the fly.
2. Translate — automatically or by hand
Machine and AI translation get you Slovenian coverage in minutes; review the strings that matter (navigation, calls to action, legal) for the right register. Estimate the cost with the translation cost calculator.
3. Serve it under a clean URL
Publish Slovenian under a language-prefixed path like /sl/. Give pages readable slugs with the slug generator.
4. Get the Slovenian SEO right
Add reciprocal hreflang pointing at your sl version (with x-default), set <html lang="sl">, and translate titles and meta descriptions. Build the tags with the hreflang generator and verify with the hreflang checker.
