By hooking into Polylang’s active languages, it lets you map original strings to custom translation values and applies them client-side in real- time. This plugin is independent from Polylang: Polylang is a trademark of WP SYNTEX, the manufacturer of the Polylang plugin. This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by WP SYNTEX. #### Features * Centralized translation management UI under the Polylang “Languages” menu * Client-side text replacement engine powered by MutationObserver * Instant translation of dynamic AJAX changes (like WooCommerce cart increments, checkout updates) * No page reloads – fully reactive dashboard * Selectable rows per page (10, 20, 50, 100) and live instant filtering * One-click CSV Export (selected or all translations) * Seamless CSV Import (Merge or Overwrite mode) * AI Translation Helper for posts, terms, and UI strings (optional, see “External services”) * Deep security integration (nonces, user capabilities, output escaping, validated sanitization) * Safe database-only storage in WordPress Options (no custom tables, no file clutter) * Graceful fallback to the default site locale if Polylang is missing or disabled #### Storage Translations are stored safely in the database using the WordPress Options API. No custom database tables are created, and no template or script files are generated. ### External services This plugin offers an optional AI Translation Helper. When enabled by the site administrator, it sends data to an OpenAI-compatible API: * **Service:** OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API (configurable endpoint, defaults to `api.openai.com`). * **Data sent:** The source text to be translated (a UI string, post title/content/ excerpt, or term name/description) together with the target language, a system prompt, and the configured API key for authentication. * **When:** Data is sent only when an administrator explicitly triggers an AI translation action and a provider (with API key) has been configured. No data is sent automatically, in the background, or on the public frontend. * **Data storage:** The API key and model settings are stored in the WordPress database and used solely to authenticate translation requests. * [OpenAI Terms of Use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/) * [OpenAI Privacy Policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/) Site owners are responsible for the content they submit via this feature. You can disable the AI Translation Helper at any time in the plugin settings; the plugin’s manual translation features work fully without it. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress. 3. Open **Languages String Translations** to start adding translations. ## FAQ ### Do I need Polylang to use this plugin? No. If Polylang is not active, the plugin falls back to the default site locale. ### Can I import or export my translations? Yes. Use the CSV Export and Import buttons on the plugin page. Import supports “ Merge” (add new and update matches) and “Overwrite” (replace all current translations). ### Which elements are skipped on the frontend? Scripts, styles, textareas, inputs, and code elements are ignored to prevent breaking layouts or admin fields. Text matching is case-sensitive and trimmed of surrounding whitespace. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Kzdev String Translations for Polylang” is open source software.
