What is Post Duplication Model?
The architecture (WPML, Polylang) where every translation is a separate post object linked to the original.
In more depth
Powerful for divergent per-language content; heavy for synchronized content, where string-table models stay simpler.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Post Duplication Model 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.
