What is Back-Translation?
Translating output back to the source language to spot meaning drift — a cheap sanity check for critical strings.
In more depth
Useful for slogans and legal phrases; meaning that survives the round trip is probably intact.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Back-Translation helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
