Why translate taxonomies
Don't leave categories and tags stuck in English
Categories, tags, and custom taxonomies drive every archive page, breadcrumb, and SEO URL on a Polylang site — but they're typically last to get translated. AutoPoly translates every term in one batch: names, archive descriptions, SEO-friendly slugs, and parent-child relationships all carry across to each target language.
Names, descriptions, slugs
Translates every taxonomy field — including SEO-friendly slugs generated per language.
Custom taxonomies supported
Standard cats and tags plus WooCommerce, EDD, and any plugin-registered taxonomy.
Hierarchy preserved
Parent-child relationships mirror across languages — no orphaned archive pages.
Re-run safe
Already-translated terms are skipped — only new or changed entries get re-translated.

I had an issue with some configurations during setup, but the support team helped resolve it immediately.

This plugin is doing a better job for me with translation than other AI plugins I tried before on my website. I just plug it with Gemini Pro and I've paid less than $1 for massive translates on my website with the 2.5 Flash model.
Yes — AutoPoly generates clean, lowercase, hyphenated slugs in the target language. So an English "Web Development" category becomes "desarrollo-web" in Spanish — proper SEO structure preserved.
Hierarchies are mirrored in each language. If your English "Marketing" category has a "SEO" child, the Spanish "Marketing" will have a "SEO" child in the same structural position.
Yes — standard categories, tags, and any custom taxonomy registered by themes or plugins (WooCommerce product categories, Easy Digital Downloads, custom post type taxonomies) are all translatable.
No — already-translated terms are skipped on re-runs. Only new or changed taxonomy entries get translated. You can also force a full re-translation from the bulk panel if needed.
Archive pages for translated categories work automatically. Visiting /es/categoria/desarrollo-web/ shows the Spanish category archive with the Spanish term name and description.
Yes — the bulk panel lets you choose what to translate: term names only, descriptions only, or all of the above. Useful when slugs are already manually set.
