Basic translation, the language switcher, string translation, and hreflang work fully offline with no external calls — data is sent only when you use an AI feature. * **Avakode API** (https://avakode.com) — powers AI translation and AI quality checks, and validates your license. When you run an AI translation or QA check, the source post content, the target language, your site URL, and your license key are sent. The Avakode API routes AI requests to OpenAI and/or DeepL on your behalf.

It is sent ONLY after you opt in and can be disabled at any time. It never sends your site URL, email address, post or form content, or license key.

Yes — Lang Forge uses standard WordPress hooks (`the_content`, `get_the_title`, hreflang via `wp_head`). No theme-specific integration needed. ### Can I migrate from WPML / Polylang / TranslatePress? Yes. Lang Forge ships with a migration tool that imports translated posts, string translations, and language URLs. The tool is non-destructive — your source plugin stays installed until you confirm the migration. ### How much does AI translation cost? AI translations consume Forge Credits (separate from the subscription). One credit ≈ one short paragraph. Credits don’t expire. ### Is my content sent to OpenAI? Only the text being translated is sent to the Avakode AI proxy, which forwards it to OpenAI / DeepL. No personal data, no admin info, no URLs. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “LangForge” is open source software.

No behavioural changes. * The glossary CSV export now neutralises CSV/formula injection in exported cells. #### 1.0.23 * Free now supports an unlimited number of languages with no plan-based cap — removed all license-gated language-limit code (no “locked” language rows, no over-limit notice, no limit on saving). * Tightened the glossary REST list endpoint to the same administrator capability as glossary management. #### 1.0.22 * Hardened WP-CLI export: files are now always written to a plugin-slug folder inside the uploads directory (wp-content/uploads/langforge/) instead of an arbitrary path, so nothing is ever written into the plugin folder. * Uninstall cleanup now only removes data under the plugin’s own unambiguous prefix, so unrelated options/metadata belonging to other plugins are never deleted. #### 1.0.18 * New: Support menu item that opens the Avakode support dashboard. * New: Opt-in anonymous usage analytics (OFF by default) — see Third-Party Services. * New: Contextual, dismissible Pro feature tips on the plugin dashboard (Free users only). #### 1.0.15 * WordPress.org compliance and licensing hardening. * Pro entitlement is now resolved by the Lang Forge Pro add-on; the free plugin bundles no licensing SDK. * The plugin no longer modifies admin notices belonging to other plugins. * readme metadata cleanup. #### 1.0.0 * Initial release. ## Meta * Version **1.0.24** * Last updated **3 hours ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.5 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Languages * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/langforge/) and [Russian](https://ru.wordpress.org/plugins/langforge/). * [Translate into your language](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/langforge) * Tags * [AI](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/ai/)[language switcher](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/language-switcher/) [localization](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/localization/)[multilingual](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/multilingual/) [translation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/translation/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/langforge/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
