Menus, labels and reusable UI phrases
Translate WordPress menus and UI strings with better control.
Discover, translate, review, and manually refine menu labels, navigation items, calls to action, and reusable interface phrases—not only page content.
Localization control
Short labels need human-friendly wording.
A button or menu item may need shorter phrasing, better line balance, a local expression, or a brand-aware manual override.

Why UI string translation matters
Small strings shape the entire localized experience.
Navigation labels and buttons are highly visible. When they are too long, too literal, or inconsistent, a website feels translated rather than intentionally localized.
Menu label localization
Translate navigation labels and refine them when a literal version is too long, unclear, or visually awkward inside the menu layout.
Reusable UI Dictionary
Store reusable interface translations so recurring labels and short phrases remain consistent across pages, menus, and languages.
Manual overrides
Replace an automatic translation with better local wording for CTAs, brand terms, short labels, or phrases that need a more natural tone.
Semantic review
Review recurring interface translations and improve their clarity, consistency, tone, and local fit before visitors encounter them.
UI strings workflow
Discover, translate, and refine from one organized workflow.
Start with visible interface strings, generate missing translations, and then improve wording where design or native-reader expectations require more care.
01
Discover visible strings
Collect menu labels and supported UI phrases so they can be translated and reviewed from one organized place.
02
Auto-fill missing translations
Generate missing UI translations for the selected language, then review them before reusing them across the site.
03
Override where needed
Adjust labels manually when wording is accurate but not ideal for tone, menu width, visual balance, or native-reader expectations.
Interface localization controls
The right control for each kind of short interface text.
Translate quickly where automation works, then use reusable entries and manual refinement where interface wording needs tighter control.
| Feature area | What it helps with | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Menu Labels | Translate and refine navigation text. | Menus need short, natural labels that fit the design and make sense immediately. |
| UI Dictionary | Reuse known translations for recurring short phrases. | Labels such as Contact, Cart, Checkout, Learn More, or Account should remain consistent. |
| Manual Overrides | Replace automatic wording with preferred wording. | A technically correct translation may still be too long, formal, literal, or visually unbalanced. |
| Semantic Review | Review recurring UI translations and consistency. | Short strings carry substantial UX weight. Review improves clarity and local fit. |
| Auto-fill Missing | Complete missing entries for the selected language. | Speeds up setup while preserving manual review where localization needs more care. |
TWO TOOLS, TWO JOBS
Glossary guides translation. UI Dictionary controls exact interface wording.
They both improve consistency, but they solve different problems. Use the Glossary to influence how terminology is translated. Use the UI Dictionary when a recurring interface string should use a specific translated wording.
TRANSLATION GUIDANCE
Glossary
Defines how important terminology should be handled while translation is produced.
Best for: brand names, product names, technical terms, acronyms and preferred terminology.
EXACT UI WORDING
UI Dictionary
Stores the exact translated wording you want reused for recurring interface strings.
Best for: menu labels, buttons, short calls to action and recurring strings such as Cart, Checkout, Account or Learn More.
Interface localization
Small strings have a big effect on localization quality.
Move beyond page translation with practical control over menus, reusable UI phrases, automatic entries, manual overrides, and review workflows.
