TranslateSense is an AI Translation for Polylang plugin built to make translating multilingual WordPress websites faster and easier. Its powerful Bulk Translation feature lets you translate multiple WordPress posts, pages, custom post types, WooCommerce products, and taxonomy terms into one or more languages in a single workflow using AI.

Select the content you want to translate, choose your target languages, select an AI provider, and start bulk translation. With Background Translation, OpenAI and Google Gemini translation jobs can run through WP-Cron, so you can continue working while your content is being translated. Monitor progress, review completed or failed translations, and manage pending jobs from the translation progress modal.

Need to translate individual posts? Use Page Editor Translation to translate and review individual strings directly inside Gutenberg, Elementor, or Classic Editor. You can search, edit, reset, and retry translated strings before applying them to your content.

Choose from OpenAI, Google Gemini, or Built-in Browser AI to translate your website. On WordPress 7.0 and newer, TranslateSense also supports supported providers through WordPress AI Connectors.

Beyond content translation, TranslateSense supports automatic taxonomy translation, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), WooCommerce, SEO metadata, custom fields, internal links, and media references. Its built-in Translation Memory reuses previously saved translations to reduce repeated AI requests.

Translation Tools

Bulk Translation

Translate multiple WordPress posts, pages, custom post types, or taxonomy terms into different languages directly from your WordPress admin list screens.

Select the content you want to translate, choose your target languages, select an AI provider, and start the translation process.

  • Select multiple posts, pages, custom post types, or taxonomy terms.
  • Choose one or more target languages.
  • Select your preferred AI provider.
  • Start translation and monitor progress through the progress modal.
  • Review completed, failed, skipped, and existing translation results.
  • Manage pending translations and skip items that are waiting in the queue.

Background Processing (OpenAI and Google Gemini):

Post translation batches run through WP-Cron. Background processing includes:

  • Memory-limit protection to help prevent server memory issues.
  • Time budgeting for translation batches.
  • Active batch switching and queue management.
  • Live translation progress monitoring.
  • Status filters for completed, failed, and skipped or existing translations.
  • Options to skip pending translations.

Browser Processing (Built-in Browser AI and Taxonomy Terms):

Browser AI and taxonomy term translation run sequentially in the active browser tab. Keep the tab open until the process is complete.

Page Editor Translation

Translate individual posts directly inside Gutenberg, Elementor, or Classic Editor using the TranslateSense metabox or toolbar button.

  • Choose an enabled AI provider and monitor translation progress.
  • Search and filter strings to find the content you want to review.
  • View translation statistics, including character, string, and processing time information.
  • Edit translated strings directly in the translation list.
  • Reset edited strings to their original AI-generated translations.
  • Retry empty or failed strings using OpenAI or Google Gemini.
  • Click Apply to Page to add translations to your editor. Your content is not saved until you review and save the post yourself.

Translation Memory & Automatic Cache Cleanup

TranslateSense stores source strings, translation packages, and translated strings in custom WordPress database tables.

When the same source text is encountered again, TranslateSense can reuse a previously saved translation instead of sending another request to the AI provider.

A scheduled WP-Cron task runs every three days to remove unused cached translations older than 30 days and unused package mappings older than 10 days. You can also clear cached data manually from the Cache tab.

When you request an AI translation, the selected source text and relevant language or prompt information are sent to the provider you choose.

  • OpenAI (https://api.openai.com): Receives text submitted for translation and related language and prompt information when you use OpenAI. TranslateSense also retrieves available model information when validating credentials or loading models. Privacy Policy | Terms of Use
  • Google Gemini (https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com): Receives text submitted for translation and related language and prompt information when you use Google Gemini. TranslateSense also retrieves available model information when validating credentials or loading models. Privacy Policy | Terms of Service
  • Dragwyb Deactivation Feedback (https://feedback.dragwyb.com): If you voluntarily submit the optional deactivation feedback form, your selected reason, optional comment, and plugin information are sent to Dragwyb. If you enable the diagnostics option, additional site and environment information may also be included. Privacy Policy | Terms
  • Built-in Browser AI (Chrome / Microsoft Edge): Uses the browser’s Translator API to process translation text locally. TranslateSense does not send that text to OpenAI or Google Gemini when you use this option.
