About WPML
PTC set WPML's direction; now it's keeping pace with WordPress and page-builder churn.
WPML is the incumbent multilingual layer for WordPress, and its recent releases read as maintenance: 4.9.5 adds PHP 8.5 support and a cleaner site-migration flow, following 4.9.4's WordPress 7.0 readiness and 4.9.1's Divi 5 fixes. The product's differentiator remains PTC (Private Translation Cloud), the AI-translation engine it rebranded in 4.8. Feature work has narrowed to translation-workflow polish and keeping the plugin from breaking against a fast-moving WordPress core and page-builder ecosystem.
