MobiDevices Slug Translate creates clean English slugs for post, page, and media URLs in multilingual WordPress sites. It can translate non-ASCII text, including Cyrillic, and supported Latin-language content into English before WordPress saves the slug.
Developed by the team behind MobiDevices.com.
To use automatic translation, install and activate the plugin, sign up for Langbly, create or copy an API key in your Langbly account, and save the key in Settings => MobiDevices Slug Translate. If no key is saved or the translation service is unavailable, the plugin falls back to local transliteration.
Key features:
- Translates post and page slugs when WordPress saves them.
- Translates media file names on upload when translation is needed.
- Keeps clean ASCII slugs and file names unchanged.
- The admin interface is localized for English, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Polish.
External Services
This plugin connects to the Langbly translation service to translate post slugs and media file names. An account and API key are required for automatic translation.
This service is used only when:
- WordPress saves a post or page slug that needs translation;
- WordPress requests a Classic Editor sample permalink for a slug that needs translation;
- a media file name needs translation during upload;
- you use the key test button in the plugin settings.
The plugin sends:
- the text to translate, such as a post title, slug text, or media file name;
- the target language code, and the source language when the site locale is used for supported plain-Latin text;
- the saved API key in the request headers.
