Saintara for WordPress.

1. Get your site ID

   Sign up and add your website in the portal. Your site ID looks like SB-xxxxxxxxxx. Have a translation provider key? Start the 7-day trial. No key? Choose a Managed plan. How the trial works.

2. Upload the plugin

   Download the zip above. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the file.

3. Activate it

   Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins and activate Saintara Translation.

4. Enter your site ID

   Go to Settings → Saintara, paste your site ID and save. A connection check on the same screen tells you if the ID is mistyped, your account has no languages yet, or your subscription has lapsed.

5. Choose where it appears

   Pick a placement below and save. Your languages come straight from your Saintara account, so there is nothing to tick in WordPress.

Floating button (default)

A button fixed to the bottom-right corner of the screen, or the bottom-left if you choose that. No theme changes needed.

In your navigation menu

Adds the dropdown to your site’s navigation menu.

On your own elements

Enter a CSS selector and the dropdown attaches to every element that matches it.

Shortcode

Paste [saintara_translation] into a page, post or text widget.

Block editor

Search the block inserter for Saintara Language Dropdown. It also works in the Site Editor for block themes.

Classic widget

On a classic theme, add the Saintara Language Dropdown widget under Appearance → Widgets.

Prefer your own markup? Any <select data-sb-dropdown></select> in your theme is filled in automatically.

Site ID

Your identifier from the Saintara portal. The plugin needs it to load your translation script.

Languages

Managed in your Saintara account, not here, so the dropdown always matches your plan.

Position

For the floating button: bottom-right or bottom-left.

Button label and icon

The text and icon on the button. The label is “Translate” by default.

Accent color

The color of the dropdown. Match it to your brand.

Advanced

An API base URL field for special setups. Leave it blank unless we’ve asked you to change it.

Your page text and its labels

Visible text, plus alt, title, placeholder and aria-label text.

Content that loads later

New elements added to the page after it loads are picked up and translated as well.

Right-to-left languages

For languages such as Arabic, Hebrew and Persian, the page direction switches automatically.

What stays out

Saintara skips the contents of form fields and editable areas when it scans a page. To exclude anything else, add data-sb-skip="deep" to an element. More in the FAQ.

WordPress and PHP

WordPress 6.3 or later, and PHP 7.4 or later.

Saintara account

A site ID from your portal, and either a plan with Managed translation or a provider key from DeepL, OpenAI, Amazon Translate or Google.

Block themes

Use the block, or the floating button.

Classic themes

Use the widget, the shortcode or the floating button.

Page builders

Use the shortcode wherever your builder accepts one. If you’re unsure, ask us before you subscribe.

On your site

Only its own settings. It stores no translated content and keeps no database tables of its own. Deactivating keeps your settings, and deleting the plugin removes them.

Sent to Saintara

The translation script loads from api.saintara.io with your site ID. When a visitor picks a language, the eligible page text goes to Saintara to be translated. What data is sent. See also the Privacy Policy.
