Performant Translations vs TranslatePress – Translate Multilingual sites with AI Translation

Making internationalization/localization in WordPress faster than ever before. Disclaimer about WordPress 6.5 Attention: most functionality of this plugin has been merged into WordPress 6.5! You might not need it anymore. However, this plugin is still relevant for cases where language packs are not downloaded from WordPress.org but somewhere else, for example if you are developing your own plugins or using commercial plugins. The Performant Translations plugin converts the translation files of those plugins to the new file format introduced in WordPress 6.5, to really optimize them for speed. What this plugin does This project uses a new approach to handle translation files in WordPress, making localization blazing fast. An in-depth i18n performance analysis showed that localized WordPress sites load significantly slower than a site without translations. With this plugin’s new approach to localization, this overhead is massively reduced, making your site fast again. It does so by converting .mo translation files to .php files. If your site is using a language other than English (US), you should see immediate speed improvements simply by activating this plugin.
