Hydori is the SEO + AI translation platform built for WordPress. Connect your site, choose your target languages, and Hydori translates your posts and pages into 20+ languages; then publishes them directly to WordPress as SEO-ready posts with hreflang tags, translated meta titles and descriptions, and proper source-translation relationships. This plugin is the bridge between your WordPress site and the Hydori platform. It handles content export, translation delivery, SEO metadata sync, multilingual plugin wiring, and a live SEO and AI-readiness scoring panel inside the Gutenberg block editor. The Problem Hydori Solves Going multilingual on WordPress involves a lot more than translating text. You need hreflang tags set correctly so Google serves the right language to the right audience. You need translated meta titles and descriptions in your SEO plugin. You need multilingual plugins to recognise the posts as a translation group. You need slugs localised, categories mapped, featured images carried across, and brand terms left untranslated. Most translation solutions stop at generating text and leave the rest to you. Hydori handles the full chain – from AI translation through to a properly published, SEO-configured WordPress post in every target language. How Hydori Works Install and connect – Activate this plugin, visit Hydori & link your site. Choose your languages – Select target languages and a translation style (Professional, Casual, or Technical). Existing posts are indexed in Hydori automatically. Translate – Click Translate on any article, or bulk-translate your entire site in one action. Hydori’s AI handles the content while respecting your Brand Glossary terms. Publish – Translated posts are pushed to WordPress automatically as drafts or live posts, with SEO metadata, hreflang tags, featured images, categories, and multilingual plugin relationships all set. Track – Monitor translation status across every post and language from the Hydori dashboard: Done, Pending, Failed, or awaiting review. Key Platform Features AI Translation in 20+ Languages – Accurate, context-aware translations powered by AI, not word-for-word substitution Translation Style Control – Choose Professional, Casual, or Technical tone per site Brand Glossary – Define terms that must never be translated (product names, brand names, proper nouns) Bulk Translation – Translate your entire site’s content in one action Translation Status Dashboard – See every post’s status per language: Done, Pending, Failed, or Missing Auto-Translate New Posts – Newly published WordPress posts are picked up and translated automatically Require Review Mode – Translations arrive as drafts so your team can review before they go live Team Collaboration – Invite team members with Admin, Editor, or Viewer roles WordPress Integration Features SEO Metadata Sync – Translated meta titles, descriptions, focus keywords, Open Graph tags, Twitter Card tags, and canonical URLs are written directly to Yoast SEO, Rank Math, All in One SEO, or SEOPress – whichever is active Multilingual Plugin Integration – Translation relationships are created automatically as Source-Translation pairs along with an easy to digest admin panel view hreflang Fallback – If no multilingual plugin is active, Hydori emits native rel="alternate" hreflang tags in so Google still understands your language structure Live SEO & GEO Scoring Sidebar – A panel in the Gutenberg block editor shows your SEO score (0-100) and AI-readiness grade (A-F) with per-check breakdowns and an editable focus-keyword field, fetched from Hydori and cached locally Meta & Social Panel – Edit SEO title, meta description, Open Graph title, and Open Graph description directly in the block editor sidebar; changes are handed off to your active SEO plugin (or output directly by Hydori if none is installed) and protected from being overwritten by the next sync Language Auto-Detect Banner – A small dismissible banner suggests a visitor’s browser-preferred language when a translation exists, without replacing the language switcher; on by default, can be turned off in Advanced settings Score Columns in Posts and Pages List – SEO and GEO scores appear as colour-coded, sortable columns across your entire content library (green ≥80, amber 60-79, red <60) Language Switcher Block – A native Gutenberg block that renders translation links on single posts and available languages on archive pages, with dropdown, list, inline, and button display styles Localized Translation Slugs – Newly created translations use their own translated slug in the public URL (e.g. /fr/mon-article/) instead of the source article’s slug Featured Image Sync – Images are downloaded and attached as post thumbnails on each translated post Category and Tag Mapping – Categories and tags are created and assigned automatically during publishing Auto-Export on First Connect – Existing published posts are indexed in Hydori in the background the moment you connect, with no manual action needed One-Click Reconnect – After a plugin reinstall or key regeneration, the “Reconnect to Hydori” button re-syncs your site’s current API key back to Hydori without copying keys by hand Clean Disconnect – Disconnecting from Hydori removes Hydori’s own bookkeeping for previously synced posts; your posts and translation groupings are never touched, so a later reconnect re-imports your full library instead of skipping posts as “already handled” Secure API Key – Auto-generated on activation and stored securely in your WordPress database Supported SEO Plugins Yoast SEO Rank Math All in One SEO Pack SEOPress Jetpack SEO Supported Multilingual Plugins WPML Polylang TranslatePress Languages Supported Hydori supports AI translation in 19 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, and Vietnamese.

Generic AI translation tools give you text. They do not set hreflang tags, do not write translated meta descriptions into Yoast, do not create source-translation groups, and do not preserve your brand terminology. You end up doing all the SEO configuration by hand, in every language, for every post. Hydori handles the complete multilingual publishing chain. Translation, SEO metadata, hreflang tags, multilingual plugin relationships, featured images, categories, and tags – all delivered to WordPress in a single sync. And unlike per-word translation services, Hydori uses a credits-based lifetime deal so the cost does not grow with your content volume.
