Multilingual Wordpress NMT and WPML websites

Security update: Your website is being protected

On 21 October, critical security vulnerabilities affecting PHP, the technology behind WordPress and many other websites, required urgent action across the hosting industry.

Castlegate IT worked closely with our hosting providers to prepare for the necessary security updates. Importantly, our hosting partners and Cloudflare implemented additional firewall protections before the security patches were released, helping to protect websites against attempts to exploit these vulnerabilities.

The necessary patches have now been applied across our main managed hosting environments. A small number of legacy environments remain protected by additional firewall measures while their updates are completed.

No action is required from our clients. We continue to monitor the situation and manage the necessary security measures on their behalf.

Multi-language WordPress websites

Don’t get lost in translation

The internet is a global marketplace. Only a quarter of web users speak English and a third of people never buy at English-language sites¹. Translating your website will let you reach international customers, strengthen your global SEO, and build trust in your brand worldwide. And there may be more urgency to go multilingual than you think. Many governments require a native language website by law. But website translation isn’t only about reaching users abroad. Presenting your website in multiple languages also enables you to include people closer to home, making valuable services accessible to the widest possible group.

There are two popular approaches to translation for WordPress websites. At Castlegate IT we are experts in both.

Multi-language WordPress websites

Fast and reliable multi-language solutions

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is an approach which draws on an artificial neural network to translate words in context of the sentences they feature in, rather than in isolation. This powerful technology, favoured by Google since 2016, underpins natural-sounding translations which preserve the tone of voice, pace and flow of the original. As well as being extremely reliable, NMT is also fast and affordable. Roll out over 100 languages upon installation and start speaking to your customers in their own language on the very same day.

Quality and control over every detail

The other approach utilises the WordPress Multilingual Plug-in to create duplicates of every page on your website in as many target languages as required. This technology is favoured by businesses with divisions and established customer-bases abroad, because it gives you complete control over the quality and detail of the translations. Each different language page is completely separate and can be edited independently, to show only territory-specific content. Choose your own translators or select from our pre-vetted, recommended pool to engage your global audience where they are.
