What is Self-Hosted Translation?

Translations stored and served from your own WordPress database and server — portable, private, permanent.

In more depth

Self-hosting means backups, migrations and ownership follow your normal WordPress workflows.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding Self-Hosted 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.
