You can change the translation language at any time. Core features: * **Whole-page translation.** The rendered HTML is buffered, parsed and every visible text node plus common attributes (alt, title, placeholder, aria-label, meta descriptions, Open Graph / Twitter tags) is replaced with its translation. * **Live translation of JS-rendered content.** A client-side layer (MutationObserver) translates content injected after page load – WooCommerce Cart/Checkout blocks, Gutenberg-hydrated blocks, AJAX fragments – using the same dictionary, and reports unknown strings so they get translated on the next visit. * **Visual front-end editor.** Open any page in edit mode, click a string, type the translation, save. Works for content, menus, widgets, theme strings. * **`gettext` translation.** Theme and plugin strings that pass through `__()` /` _e()` are translatable too. * **Machine translation.** Google Cloud Translation v2 with your own API key. Translate on demand from the editor, in bulk from the admin, or automatically in the background via WP-Cron. (Other engines are available in COCOS Translate PRO, a separate plugin.) * **SEO-friendly URLs.** The translated pages live under their own path prefix ( e.g. `/fr/`). `hreflang` alternate links, `x-default`, translated `` / `dir` and localized permalinks are handled for you. * **Language switcher.** Shortcode `[cc_transla_switcher]`, a widget, a `cc_transla_language_switcher()` template tag, an optional floating switcher and optional nav-menu injection. * **Built-in page cache** for anonymous visitors so translated pages are served without re-parsing. ### External services This plugin can send text to an external machine-translation service. It does so only if you choose “Google Translate” as the machine-translation engine and enter your own API key under **Settings COCOS Translate Machine translation**. With the engine set to “None” (the default), the plugin makes no external requests. **Google Cloud Translation API (v2)** * What it is / what it is used for: Google’s machine-translation service, used to translate the strings of your site (page text, menu items, widget text and similar) into your translation language. * What data is sent and when: the text strings to be translated, the source and target language codes, and your Google API key. This happens when you click the machine-translate button in the visual editor, run a bulk “Auto-translate” from the admin, or when automatic background translation (WP-Cron) or translate-on- access is enabled. No visitor personal data is sent — only the site strings that are missing a translation. * Service provider: Google LLC. [Terms of Service](https://cloud.google.com/terms)· [Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) · [Cloud Privacy Notice](https://cloud.google.com/terms/cloud-privacy-notice) Links to translate.cocos.codes in this readme and in the plugin’s admin screens are ordinary hyperlinks; the plugin does not contact that site in the background. ### Notes / limitations * URL translation uses the sub-directory method (`example.com/fr/…`). Sub-domains and separate domains are not supported. * On sites with a full-page caching layer in front of PHP, exclude the `?cc-transla- edit` requests from that cache. * Very large string tables load into memory per request; let the built-in page cache do its job. ### COCOS Translate PRO This plugin translates your site into one language, with Google Translate on your own API key. **COCOS Translate PRO** (https://translate.cocos.codes) is a separate paid plugin for sites in several languages. It offers: * **Several translation languages per site.** * **One-click AI translation** through the COCOS Translate proxy — Google, DeepL, OpenAI, Claude and Gemini with **no provider API keys** to manage. * A monthly **AI phrase quota** with optional top-up packs. * **Priority support** and automatic updates from translate.cocos.codes. PRO is optional and is distributed from translate.cocos.codes, not from WordPress. org. ## Screenshots [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ [[ ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Language Switcher (COCOS Translate) ## Installation 1.
