Multilingual plugins differ less in what they translate than in how they make you translate. The structured-CMS approach — WPML and Polylang Pro — maintains separate content per language with translation management on top. The visual approach — TranslatePress — lets you edit translations directly in the browser. The service approach — Weglot and ConveyThis — machine-translates first and lets you refine. GTranslate rides Google’s engine, and Multilang covers the simple two-language case. WooCommerce depth, SEO hreflang handling, and who on your team actually does the translating — those decide.
