Hey guys. Just wanted to say THANKS for this plugin. I started manually translating a thing, and I had over 1000 entries to edit, words/sentences. A few clicks and this plugin shaved the time allocated to like NOTHING.

What developers say about LocoAI
Real reviews from real users using LocoAI with AI translation providers.
Excellent plugin for bulk translations. It has saved me a lot of time translating theme and plugin strings quickly and efficiently.
Loco Translate is already an essential tool for translations in WordPress, but translating every single word one by one can be very time-consuming. Thanks to Automatic Translate Addon For Loco Translate.
Chrome AI is Google's on-device AI model (Gemini Nano) that runs entirely inside the Chrome browser. It performs translation locally on your machine — no API key, no cloud, no internet required for translation calls.
Chrome 127 or newer is required. Hardware: most modern Macs (Apple Silicon and recent Intel), Windows machines with at least 4 GB free RAM and a modern CPU, and recent Chromebooks. The plugin detects support automatically.
Your content never leaves your device — translation runs entirely in the browser using local AI inference. Perfect for legal, medical, internal, or otherwise sensitive WordPress sites where you can't send content to cloud APIs.
Gemini Nano is a small model so it can't match GPT-4 or Claude on nuance, but quality is comparable to Google Translate on most common language pairs. Excellent for sites where privacy matters more than achieving the absolute highest translation quality.
Yes — once Gemini Nano is downloaded into your Chrome instance (one-time, automatic), translation works fully offline. You can translate your WordPress site without any internet connection.
No usage limits, no billing, no rate limits — Chrome AI is fully free and unlimited because it runs on your own hardware.
