DeepL Pro API plugin

Request translations from WordPress

The DeepL Pro API plugin connects WordPress to the DeepL API so you can request translations into different languages from the administration area. For a post or page, open its edit screen and use the Translate button in the editor metabox. The selected text may include the post title, excerpt, and content.

Paid translation processes

Paid editions include translation workflows for products, meta fields, posts, pages, and strings, as well as batch translations. They also show current and remaining API usage.

The paid version uses the same editor process as the free version, including with editors such as Elementor and Blocks. Compatibility can depend on the specific editor and website configuration. Test the extension on your website before purchase; the plugin does not guarantee that every editor will work perfectly with the DeepL API.

When the post editor sends a request

Translation requests are user initiated. For the post editor workflow, data is sent when you click Translate in the editor metabox. The plugin does not translate automatically or in the background. The requested text, your DeepL API key for authentication, and the source and target language codes are sent to DeepL servers through secure HTTPS requests.

DeepL API subscription requirements

An active DeepL API subscription with API access is required. Both the free DeepL API Free plan and paid DeepL API Pro plan work with the plugin. Standard DeepL User or Teams plans do not include the required API access and cannot be used for this purpose. Review the applicable DeepL terms, privacy information, and API documentation before connecting the service to WordPress.

Install and configure the plugin

Install the paid plugin in WordPress, activate it, and configure the connection with your DeepL API key. If you are replacing the free version, test your website configuration first, then follow the plugin’s upgrade requirements. After setup, open an editable post or page, use the translate control, and check the usage show. For products, meta fields, or batch work, use the relevant paid workflow and review the results in the WordPress administration area.
