TranslatePress allows you to translate your website content page by page, directly from the front-end.
It also supports automatic translation via TranslatePress AI, Google Translate, or DeepL.
Installing TranslatePress
TranslatePress installs and is activated just like any other WordPress plugin.
You can watch the following video for a quick installation tutorial or continue reading for an in-depth approach:
Download the plugin zip file
After purchasing a license, you’ll receive an email containing links to your purchased downloads and also the information to access your account.
By logging into your TranslatePress Account you will be able to download the main plugin, download the premium version, upgrade to another version, see your serial number, renew your license if it’s expired and also see your purchase history with us.
After you download the plugin:

- Or install it from your WordPress admin Plugins → Add New → Upload and upload your .zip file and then just hit Install Now button.

How to install the Paid Versions
When you log in to your TranslatePress account, you will see two buttons:
1. TranslatePress Plugin (required)
2. The button associated with the paid version – e.g. if you have the Developer version, you will see “TranslatePress Developer Plugin”.
You need to download the paid version and install it on your site.
In the end, you need to have two plugins installed and activated on your site:
1. TranslatePress Multilingual – This can be downloaded from the “Main Plugin” button
2. TranslatePress Personal/ Business/ Developer – This can be downloaded from the ”TranslatePress Personal/ Business/ Developer” button
Activate your License
To activate your license, go to Settings → TranslatePress and then to the License tab.
You need to press this button in order to activate the license. If the license is valid and not expired, the activation will work, else, it will fail to display a notice:
Upgrading your License
If you upgrade your TranslatePress license (for example, from Personal to Business or Developer), the premium plugin associated with the new license must be installed in place of the one corresponding to your previous license.
1. Deactivate and remove the current premium plugin
You can deactivate and delete the existing premium plugin directly from your WordPress site by going to the WordPress Admin Dashboard → Plugins → Installed Plugins, clicking Deactivate, and then Delete for the TranslatePress premium version associated with your previous license.
2. Download the premium version for your new license
Access your TranslatePress account and download the premium TranslatePress – Business or Developer version corresponding to your upgraded license.
3. Install and activate the upgraded version
Then install and activate the premium version of the plugin. After you download the plugin, install it from your WordPress Admin Dashboard → Plugins → Add New → Upload and upload your .zip file, and then just hit the Install Now button.
This ensures a clean transition and that your site benefits from all features included in your new license.
