Hi Product Hunt! 👋 I'm the maker of Libre Translate. If you run a WordPress or WooCommerce site, you probably know the pain of multilingual setups. Historically, you only had two bad choices: Bloat your database with plugins that duplicate every single post and product, slowing your admin panel to a crawl. Pay expensive monthly SaaS fees (like Weglot) that charge you based on word count. I got tired of both, so I built a third option. 🛠️ Libre Translate is a purely frontend-driven translation plugin powered by a custom PHP Proxy API. ✨ How it works: Zero Database Bloat: It translates the DOM on the fly. Your 100 products stay 100 products. No extra tables created. Deep DOM Scanner: A custom MutationObserver catches text injected dynamically by your theme or AJAX and translates it instantly. No Monthly Word Limits: Host your own API or use open-source engines. Seamless UX: Smart batching and custom loading spinners ensure there’s no ugly "flash of un-translated text". I built this to scratch my own itch, but I’d love to hear your feedback. What do you think about frontend vs. database translation? P.S. We set up a special 20% discount for the PH community!
