Getting started

Connect a site for translation

Install the Zinn® Translate plugin
Install the free WordPress plugin and connect it to your site's translations with the site's ID and an API key.
Choose which languages to publish
Every language is translated; choose which ones your WordPress site publishes, and change them at any time.
