Clonable – Translate Woocommerce / WordPress website. Multilingual in 5 minutes.

Description

Online internationalisation without the hassle: Speed up & simplify your translation processes. Your multilingual website updates automatically.

The challenge

Translating a WordPress / Woocommerce site can prove to be both costly and time-consuming. Beyond the initial translation effort, ongoing maintenance is essential to ensure the translated version remains current with new content. Consequently, translations are often overlooked or neglected following their initial creation, despite the substantial potential in foreign markets.

Our solution

Introducing Clonable, a groundbreaking solution for WordPress website owners. Clonable enables the effortless creation of “clones” of your WordPress websites, ensuring they are consistently synchronised with the original version. Any modifications made to the original site are instantly reflected in the clone, significantly reducing maintenance overhead. With Clonable, you can generate a website clone in just 5 minutes, drastically reducing time-to-market.

Key features

1. SEO Enhancement: Our plugin seamlessly adds language tags to the head section of all your pages. This ensures that your clones and the original site are appropriately linked for improved SEO performance. This functionality extends to both translated and non-translated clones and supports clones of subfolders as well.
2. Effortless Subfolder Integration: Clonable empowers you to effortlessly incorporate a clone into a subfolder of your website, eliminating the need for complex technical configurations within WordPress.
3. User-Friendly Language Switcher: Clonable also offers an intuitive language switcher, allowing users to effortlessly navigate between the different languages available on your website.
4. Support for Woocommerce for easier conversion tracking in different languages.

Installation

You will need a Clonable account to make use of the plugin. When you have successfully connected the plugin to your Clonable account the settings will
automatically synchronise with your WordPress installation.

When settings have not synchronised correctly, you can do this manually by hitting the ‘Sync with Clonable’ button on the general settings page of the plugin.

Reviews

Works perfect and fast

vdritbv December 22, 2023

We use Clonable to translate our web shops into German, French, Spanish and Italian.We have quite a lot of content and noticed that manually maintaining our foreign web shops took a lot of time and was therefore never complete.The system works very quickly and user-friendly. We are now 2 years further and after some fine-tuning, which happened relatively quickly, we have added several complete web shops. Turnover is much higher than before and with a fraction of the time and costs compared to translating yourself.

Going abroad

Buro Matthijs December 22, 2023

I was happy with Clonable before, but this plugin made me even more happy. It is like when you start using your mouse instead of your touchpad with your laptop. We’re using it for Hockeygear.eu. Going abroad was a necessity for us when we were having more and more competition in our base country. Clonable made it possible to translate our WooCommerce webshops without hiring personnel or translation agencies. As icing on the cake it is maintenance-free. When we update content (texts, images etc.) on the local webshop it is automatically updated our our webshops abroad.

Works well for holiday house

In one day I have made four clones in German, French, English and Danish.

In use for multiple shops
