  Hi there, While there’s currently no automatic translation available on WordPressdotcom, here’s how you can create a multilingual site here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/set-up-a-multilingual-blog/

  Timethief, who is a veteran forum volunteer, has written on several workarounds for translating a WordPressdotcom site: https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/translation-widget-for-wordpress-com-blogs/

  As far as adding a 3rd party plugin, WordPressdotcom users have a set of plugins already built in to the platform but cannot add their own plugins. More about that here:

  I hope WordPressdotcom gets a builtin multilingual plugin. This is a real need for many customers…
