Persian to English Website Translation
Translating a Persian WordPress site into English: engine fit, script and direction notes, market context and the exact hreflang markup.
What changes between Persian and English?
Persian uses the Arabic script (right-to-left); English uses the Latin script. That script change is handled entirely by the browser and correct lang/dir attributes — no font hacks needed on modern systems. Sentence structure and length differ, which is why Transxlate translates whole rendered sentences in context and lets you adjust anything visually.

How should hreflang look for Persian and English versions?
Each page declares alternates for both languages plus x-default, and every version must link back to all others (reciprocity). With Transxlate Pro this cluster is emitted automatically on every page.
<link rel="alternate" hreflang="fa" href="https://example.com/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https://example.com/en/" /> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="x-default" href="https://example.com/" />
Frequently asked questions
How do I translate a Persian website to English?
On WordPress: install Transxlate, set Persian as your default language, add English as a target, and connect a Google or DeepL API key. Pages are served at /en/ automatically, and any sentence can be refined in the visual editor.
Which engine is best for Persian to English?
Use Google Cloud Translation: it covers both Persian and English. DeepL's smaller catalog does not include this exact pair, so Transxlate routes it to Google automatically.
How much does Persian to English website translation cost?
At wholesale API rates, a 50,000-word site costs roughly $6.00 to machine-translate into English — once, because results are cached in your database. Professional human translation of the same site would run thousands of dollars.
Will the layout survive going from Persian to English?
This pair switches writing direction (Persian is right-to-left, English is left-to-right). Transxlate sets dir attributes automatically; modern themes mirror cleanly, but review menus and sliders once in the visual editor.
