• Polylang Strings (bulk AI translation) — Pro

This plugin enhances Polylang by adding professional AI translation capabilities directly inside the WordPress admin.

This is NOT a standalone translation plugin – it works exclusively with Polylang to add automatic translation capabilities.

How It Works

1. Install and configure Polylang.
2. Install PolyTranslate AI.
3. Add your preferred AI provider API key in PolyTranslate AI → Settings.
4. Open the list of the content you want to translate (Pages, Posts, Products, or a taxonomy).

5. On the row of the original item, find the column of the language you want to translate into and click the PolyTranslate AI flag icon (the small language flag next to Polylang’s “+” icon).

   The flag only appears when that translation does not exist yet. There is no Translate button inside the editor.

6. PolyTranslate AI translates the title, content and excerpt, creates the translation, links it to the original, and saves it with the status chosen in Settings → Translation Settings.

Your translated content is saved as a normal Polylang translation.
