Question 1

How long does setup take?

Accepted Answer

Under five minutes. Install the Hydori plugin from WordPress.org, paste your site token in the plugin settings, and you can translate your first post immediately.

Question 2

Do I need technical skills?

Accepted Answer

No. If you can install a WordPress plugin, you can use Hydori. There's no code, no API keys to manage, and no theme changes required.

Question 3

Does Hydori work with my theme?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hydori writes translations into your existing post types, so your theme, layout, styles, and shortcodes keep working exactly as they do today.

Question 4

How many languages can Hydori translate into?

Accepted Answer

Every language your readers speak, including Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, Hebrew, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Thai, and more.

Question 5

Are hreflang tags handled automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hydori writes hreflang tags across every language variant automatically so search engines correctly associate your language versions with each other.

Question 6

Will my brand terms and product names be preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hydori preserves brand terms, product names, handles, and trademarks by default. You can also define a custom glossary per site so certain terms never get translated.

Question 7

How is this different from other WordPress translation plugins?

Accepted Answer

Most WordPress translation plugins bolt translation onto your theme via shortcodes or require multisite setups. Hydori translates into real posts on your existing site, writes clean slugs, and handles hreflang automatically. No theme changes, no multisite, no SEO penalties.

Question 8

Do translated posts publish automatically?

Accepted Answer

You choose. Translated posts can land as drafts for review, or go live immediately. Both Gutenberg and Classic editor are fully supported.

Question 9

Can I edit a translation after Hydori produces it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Translations are standard WordPress posts. Edit them in your normal editor any time, just like any other post.

Question 10

Can I bulk-translate multiple posts at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Select a batch of posts and pick your target languages in one job. Hydori processes them in the background and publishes them based on your settings.

Question 11

How do AI credits work?

Accepted Answer

Every tier ships with a one-time credit bucket. Translations consume credits based on word count. If you run low, you can top up with a one-time credit pack at any time. Credits never expire and stack.

Question 12

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can start on the Starter trial and try Hydori on a real post before committing to a tier.

Question 13

Can I switch tiers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upgrade any time and get immediate access. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle.

Question 14

What happens if I run out of credits?

Accepted Answer

Purchase a one-time credit pack. Packs stack with your tier's bucket and never expire. Your existing translations stay live regardless of credit balance.

Question 15

Who owns the translated content?

Accepted Answer

You do. Translated posts are written directly into your WordPress site. Hydori never holds your content hostage, and you can keep everything if you stop using Hydori.

Question 16

Is my data used to train AI models?

Accepted Answer

No. Your posts and translations are processed through our AI providers and are not used for model training.

Question 17

Can I self-host or connect my own WordPress site?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The plugin works with any self-hosted WordPress.org site. WordPress.com Business and Ecommerce plans are also supported via the same plugin.
