WPML (WordPress Multilingual Plugin) lets you run a single WordPress site in multiple languages with automatic translation via WPML AI, Google, DeepL and Microsoft, or professional translation. WPML supports over 65 languages and integrates with SEO tools like Yoast to boost visibility.
For businesses with a Chinese-speaking audience, WPML enables you to translate your site in Simplified Chinese alongside English or other languages.
WPML itself isn’t blocked in China and typically works as long as the rest of the WordPress site is compatible with China’s internet environment as of the date of writing.
