Looking for a plugin to handle multilingual without auto-translate … any suggestions?

Hey everyone,
I’m looking for a free plugin that would allow me to set up a multilingual site without any automatic translation features.

It’s a basic bilingual site, and I already have all the content written in both languages.

I know about WPML (I use it on other sites), but I don’t want to pay for this project since I don’t need anything too advanced.

Would Polylang Free work for this, or is there a better option out there? Also noticed Weglot’s free version doesn’t support translating menus.

ConveyThis has a free plan, but it does use AI translation by default. You can go in and manually proofread or edit translations. Here’s the link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/conveythis-translate/

If you’re looking for something completely free, you might want to check out open-source frameworks. It’s tough to find a free plugin with decent support because it’s just not profitable for developers.

Full disclosure: I work for ConveyThis.

Thanks! I’ll take a look.

There are a ton of free WP plugins that cover basic needs, so I was hoping for something similar here. I get your point, though.

Worst case, I’ll set up a linked multi-site with two installs on separate subdomains, but managing that is a hassle.

Thanks, but I’ve gone through that and a bunch of other ‘top 10’ lists, and they all seem focused on auto-translate.

I just want a simple plugin that lets me manage translations manually, and it has to be free.

Also, I don’t need WooCommerce translation. This site won’t ever use WooCommerce.
