Hello,

I am looking to add multilingual plugin to my WordPress site and I am looking to WPML with Yoast SEO Premium, has anyone tried WPML or this plugin combination? Is WPML as good as they say?

Thanks!

perfect. I'm started usin probably 2 week ago and its perfect.
 
That depends.

WPML is too heavy and focused on the multilingual part. It's more like a multilingual platform. If you want a serious multilingual project with each lang independent on its own. Choose WPML.

If you simply want a site with translated pages in other langs, you should choose a much more lightweight and easy-to-use plugin, like TranslatePress.

100% agreed.

@codeman1234 if you want, I can upload both TranslatePress and WPML here for free, so you can test it.

Yes, I am serious on a multilingual project so, I was right on choosing WPML, thanks!
 
Just wondering is there any cons when using WPML in your opinion? Like page speed or conflict with Yoast Premium or setting it up on Google Search Console?


Thanks!
 
Suggested plugins performance-wise are either TranslatePress or Polylang. The only plugin to avoid is WPML.
 
Yes, WPML is a powerful, reliable, and user-friendly translation plugin for WordPress that is well-regarded by users.

Personally I prefer Polylang, which is free, but it's a mater of taste of course.
 
Does anyone use an alternative?
