Translating a website is a decision that shouldn’t be taken for granted. Providing multilingual content has become the need of the hour for websites worldwide. However, creating and maintaining a website in multiple languages is certainly a challenge.

If you are running a WordPress powered website, you’d know that the most common problem when translating a WordPress website is to locate the right translation service who is familiar with WordPress and its content.

Fortunately, WordPress offers two amazing translation options to confine your site that is incorporated directly into the CMS – IcanLocalize and TextMaster.

This enables you to handle translations from your admin panel as well as keep images, links etc of your actual WordPress pages.
