However, here is a problem: WPML’s automatic translation relies on translation credits, and your credit usage continues to increase as your site grows.

Every time you add a new product, update an existing description, create a new category, or modify product attributes, translation credits are used. 

Here is the quick overview of translation credit’s cost: 

The actual number of credits depends on the amount of content in each product, the number of target languages, and how often products are updated.

If you are already using WPML, switching to another multilingual plugin isn’t the best option.

So, instead of replacing WPML, extend WPML’s Automatic Translation feature with AutoMLP. 

AutoMLP is a powerful addon that lets you connect your own OpenAI, Google Gemini (via API Key), or Chrome AI (No API needed) to translate your WooCommerce products. 

Your translation workflow stays the same; you continue managing translations through WPML using your preferred AI provider at low cost.

In this blog, we are going to discuss how you can automatically translate WooCommerce products without WPML’s automatic translation credits.

What is AutoMLP – AI Translation for WPML?

AutoMLP is a powerful addon for WPML that enhances the way Automatic Translation works. It doesn’t replace WPML or change your multilingual setup. 

Instead, it gives you another way to generate AI-powered translations while keeping the familiar WPML translation workflow.

Once installed, AutoMLP connects WPML with leading AI translation providers such as OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Chrome built-in AI. 

Whenever you translate WooCommerce products, pages, posts, or custom post types through WPML, AutoMLP sends the content to your selected AI provider, receives the translated content, and returns it to WPML automatically.

This means you can continue using all the features you already rely on in WPML while gaining more flexibility in how translations are generated.
