What is Lazy Translation?
Translating strings on first request per language instead of pre-translating everything — pay only for what is actually viewed.

Massive catalogs benefit most: unviewed product pages cost nothing until someone opens them.
Why it matters for your website
Understanding Lazy 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.
