Pewit AI Multilingual Translator

BYOK Translation Bridge — WPML XLIFF and Polylang posts on your own API

Translate your multilingual site with your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key instead of buying WPML ATE credits or Polylang machine-translation quota. Upload a WPML XLIFF package, translate, and download it back import-safe — or translate Polylang posts directly, no XLIFF round-trip.

Why it matters

Multilingual machine translation is metered

1

WPML ATE costs credits

WPML's Advanced Translation Editor bills translation credits per word — recurring cost on top of your license.

2

Polylang MT is paid too

Polylang Pro machine translation runs through DeepL/Google quotas you top up separately.

3

You already pay for AI

If you have an OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key, you're paying twice for the same translation capability.

What it does

Your API key, both translation paths

WPML XLIFF bridge

Upload a WPML XLIFF package, translate every segment on your key, and download it back ready to import — no ATE credits.

Polylang direct translation

Translate a Polylang post straight into its target language — written directly to the translation, no XLIFF round-trip.

Import-safe XLIFF

Preserves CDATA and WPML tool:extradata metadata so the package imports cleanly back into WPML.

Glossary & site context

Lock brand terms and feed site context so translations stay consistent across every language and post.

Skip URLs & technical segments

Leaves URLs and technical Bricks segments untouched so layouts and links don't break in translation.

WPML Translation Management

A pending-jobs list with one-click translate, optional auto-import, and string-translation packages through the same XLIFF pipeline. Bulk jobs on Pro.

Review queue & cost estimate

See a per-job cost estimate up front and review every translation before it's applied to Polylang or written back to XLIFF.

Bulk, multi-provider & localized Pro

Run Polylang translations as a background job, switch between OpenAI, Claude and Gemini, with an admin UI localized in 7 languages (EN, PL, DE, FR, IT, ES, RU).

Not the same as Pewit AI Alt Translator. That one translates image ALT text and captions. This one translates whole posts and strings via WPML XLIFF and Polylang.

Optional pair: when Pewit AI Media Toolkit is active, this plugin can reuse its verified API key — set it up once. It also pairs with Pewit AI Content Assist, Pewit AI Schema Builder and Pewit AI Alt Translator after import. Works standalone regardless.
FAQ

Good to know

Pewit AI Alt Translator translates image ALT text and captions only. Pewit AI Multilingual Translator translates whole posts and strings through WPML XLIFF packages and Polylang. Different jobs — you can run both.

No. It uses your own OpenAI, Claude or Gemini key, so you pay your AI provider directly instead of buying WPML ATE credits or Polylang machine-translation quota.

OpenAI works on the Free tier. Claude and Gemini are available on Pro. If Pewit AI Media Toolkit is active, you can reuse the key you already verified there.

Yes — v1.0.0 is the stable release. It adds WPML Translation Management (pending jobs, one-click translate, optional auto-import), a review queue, per-job cost estimates and a 7-language admin UI. See the roadmap for what's next.

No — it works completely standalone. Reusing the Pewit AI Media Toolkit API key is an optional convenience.
