Transcribe is an ExpressionEngine addon that makes the creation of multi-lingual ExpressionEngine websites as simple as content population. Transcribe includes the ability to create translations of your Template Groups and template names, as well as the ability to inject a language specific segment into your URI site-wide.

With Transcribe you can now build multi-language websites by simply populating content.  You no longer have to mess around with template logic surrounding segments or statuses.

Transcribe is a fully featured solution for creating multi-lingual websites in ExpressionEngine. Transcribe handles everything from word/phrase translation to channel entry management between languages and even url translation/routing!

Transcribe includes the ability to

     
  • Create translations of your template routes
  •  
  • Switch Channel content between languages without having to update templates
  •  
  • Inject a language URL segment into your site globally
  •  
  • Specify variables in your templates to be swapped between languages
  •  
  • Relate entries between languages
  •  
  • Build language specific Structure Trees
  •  
  • Enable and Disable languages on your site

I was tasked with adding 8 languages to an existing EE website. After doing some research, I chose Transcribe. The module was easy to install and very flexible, and Tom’s support was worth about 10 times what I paid for the module. Very impressed!

The transcribe plugin saved us lots of time and hassle and has provided more functionality versus some of the other multilingual tools we’ve used. Tom offered us an amazing amount of support implementing a tricky rollout. I have never seen a developer care this much about their software.

It makes multi-lingual sites super slick and easy for end users in the control panel, especially with Structure! The best thing about it though has to be the support. Tom is quick to respond and really listens and wants to help. Very rare!

Has its quirks but altogether a fantastic add-on that really facilitates building a multi-lingual site. Really stable on EE2.6.1 and timely support from Tom. A few things I’d like to see added: grouping variables, wygwam support in variables, have certain fields (images) persist across languages.

The extension is more than what meets the eyes. The value of the extension is only realized when applied to the website. The documentation is precise. The support is extra-ordinary. Tom went the extra mile helping me with Arabic. Can’t live without it for my future multilingual sites.

The current version of Transcribe is 1.5 and has not been updated in quite some time. On the latest version of EE (2.6.1) it gives a number of errors in the Developer Log.  EEharbor support directs you to send your queries to an email address which is quite slow to reply (no reply in two weeks).

Finding the best method to add languages to a site is always a dilemma, then I found Transcribe and all my worries drifted away.

Fantastic addon, and so easy to implement!

My de facto method for creating multilingual site now. I tried many methods including rolling my own, this one just works and does it well.

Support is excellent and it regularly gets lovin in the form of updates.

It may look expensive but think of the time savings.
Oh, it’ MSM savvy too.

This makes multi-language sites a lot easier.

My only real complaint is that the Variables interface is kind of a pain. It would be nice if it showed all the languages for a variable on one page and had a way to group variables.

After always solving the multilingual issues manually, this plugin is basically the perfect solution. Finally real multilingual SEO-friendly URLs, perfect direct support, now even with Structure support. What else do you need? Can‘t wait for the MSM site-wide variables.

After trying just about every multi-lingual add-on out there, Transcribe was a heaven-sent. Installation and use are as easy as can be. My clients are thrilled on how fast the can add their own translations. Best solution, period.

EE Harbor’s support has been superb!
