What is String Extraction?

Collecting all translatable text from code or pages so it can be translated systematically.

In more depth

Front-end translators extract strings from rendered HTML automatically — no developer pass over the codebase needed.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding String Extraction 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.
