Real reviews from real users using LocoAI with AI translation providers.
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.
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.
Gemini 1.5 Flash is roughly $0.001–0.01 per 1,000 words translated — about 30× cheaper than GPT-4o. The free tier covers 1,500 requests per day, which handles a typical small WordPress site at zero cost.
No — Gemini API keys are issued directly from Google AI Studio (aistudio.google.com), separate from Google Cloud. The free tier needs only a Google account, no billing setup required.
Our plugin supports Gemini 1.5 Flash (recommended for cost), Gemini 1.5 Pro (highest quality), and Gemini 1.0 Pro. Pick the model from the plugin settings — we recommend Flash for most use cases.
Gemini's 1M-token context window means an entire long article can be translated in a single request. That preserves voice, terminology, and references across the whole document — important for editorial content where consistency matters.
For pure translation quality on common European languages, OpenAI's GPT-4o has a slight edge. But Gemini wins decisively on cost-per-translation and on long documents thanks to its huge context window. Most users find Gemini's quality is more than enough at a fraction of the cost.
