Translate MODX Extras features
When it comes to online translations, there are many elements to translate, such as the page blocks, headers, menus and footers. Linguise’s MODX automatic translation handles all these elements in one action, which means you don’t need to open them one by one in your CMS admin.
Furthermore, if you are already using another translation system, let’s say for one language, you can add Linguise over it temporarily without any conflict.
Editable by human translators from the MODX frontend
While Linguise provides automated neural machine translations, a human touch can perfect the results. Experts recommend having a professional translator review 10% of translated content for maximum accuracy.
Linguise simplifies this process. Built-in translation exclusion and replacement rules let you refine translations globally. The user-friendly front-end translation editor makes on-site edits easy. Select any text and edit it with a click.
Combining Linguise’s AI translations with targeted professional review achieves natural, nuanced translations.

FAQ about the MODX CMF translation integration
Installation is straightforward and requires no MODX core modifications. You upload the linguise folder to your MODX root directory, add the Linguise rewrite rules to your .htaccess file to handle language subdirectories, and paste the Linguise JS script link into your BaseTemplate head code via MODX Manager > Elements > BaseTemplate. The entire setup takes under 10 minutes and works on Apache, LiteSpeed, Nginx, and IIS servers.
Yes, Linguise is fully compatible with both MODX 2.x and MODX 3.x. Unlike legacy MODX multilingual extras such as Lingua or MigxMultilang that face compatibility issues on MODX 3, Linguise works independently of the MODX package system as a PHP script overlay. This makes it the most reliable multilingual solution for sites upgrading to MODX 3.
