How should hreflang look for Samoan 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="sm" 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 Samoan website to English?
On WordPress: install Transxlate, set Samoan 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 Samoan to English?
Use Google Cloud Translation: it covers both Samoan and English. DeepL's smaller catalog does not include this exact pair, so Transxlate routes it to Google automatically.
How much does Samoan 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 Samoan to English?
Yes — both languages are left-to-right, so no direction change is involved. Expect some text-length variation; the visual editor makes spot-fixing tight buttons trivial.
