Dashboard — Overview of your translation status with quick actions.

SimplePoTranslate is a powerful WordPress plugin that helps you translate your themes and plugins directly from your WordPress dashboard. It works with standard PO/MO translation files and supports 39 languages.

Key Features:

  • One-Click Scanning — Automatically detects all translatable PO and POT files across your active themes and plugins.
  • API-Powered Translation — Submit files for professional-quality AI translation and import results with a single click.
  • Manual Translation Mode — Download PO files, translate them externally, and upload the results back through an intuitive interface.
  • Inline String Editor — Edit fuzzy and untranslated strings directly in your browser without leaving WordPress.
  • POT File Generation — Scan your plugin or theme source code and generate a fresh POT template file.
  • Multi-Language Support — Translate into multiple languages simultaneously with a single action.
  • Safe & Non-Destructive — Translations are saved to the standard WordPress languages directory, surviving plugin and theme updates.
  • Backup System — Automatic backups of existing PO files before any import operation.

Supported Languages:

Turkish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Korean, Arabic, Dutch, Polish, Ukrainian, Czech, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Thai, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Indonesian, Malay, Filipino, Hindi, Bengali, Urdu, Persian, Serbian, Croatian, Slovak, Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, and Slovenian.

How It Works:

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Navigate to SimplePoTranslate in the admin menu.
  3. Scan your site to discover all translation files.
  4. Choose your target languages and translate — either via the API or manually.
  5. Import the translated files and your site is localized!

External services

This plugin connects to the SimplePoTranslate API (a third-party service operated by the plugin author) to provide optional AI-assisted translation of PO files. The service is only contacted when you explicitly choose to use it.

What the service is and what it’s used for:

The SimplePoTranslate API is a cloud translation service that accepts a PO file and a target language code, returns a translated PO file, and reports account quota usage. It is used to power the “Auto Translate” feature in the plugin. Use of the service is entirely optional — the plugin’s manual translation workflow works without it.

When data is sent:

The plugin contacts the service only in the following situations, all of which require a signed-in administrator to take explicit action:

  • When you enter an API key in SimplePoTranslate Settings and click Test API Key (sends the key to GET /account for validation).
  • When you open the SimplePoTranslate Dashboard while an API key is configured (fetches account plan and quota from GET /account). The result is cached for one hour.
  • When you click Auto Translate on the Scanner page (uploads the selected PO file to POST /jobs/create).
  • While a translation job is running, the plugin polls GET /jobs/{id}/status in the background until completion, then downloads the translated ZIP from a signed URL returned by the service.

What data is sent:

  • The Bearer API key you entered in Settings (required for every request).
  • The contents of the selected PO file (only when you submit a job — never otherwise).
  • The target language code you selected (e.g. tr_TR, de_DE).
  • The translation mode (empty_only).

No site URL, user identity, or other personal data is transmitted. The API key is stored encrypted (AES-256-CBC) in the WordPress options table.

Service provider and legal terms:

The SimplePoTranslate API is provided by the plugin author. Use of the service is governed by the following documents, which you should review before entering an API key:

Privacy

This plugin does not collect or transmit any data on its own. It only sends data to the SimplePoTranslate API when you explicitly use the Auto Translate feature or connect an API key (see the External services section above for details on what is sent and when). All translation work performed without an API key happens entirely on your own server.
