The plugin is designed for sites that already use WPML Multilingual CMS. You choose a source language, a target language, and the publication status of the translated post. Translation Assistant sends the content to OpenAI for translation, creates the translated WordPress post, and associates it with the original post in WPML. The WordPress.org edition supports manual bulk translation using the local translation queue. A separate Premium add-on can provide additional functionality such as scheduled automations. Premium code is not included in this WordPress.org plugin. #### Requirements * WordPress 6.5 or later. * PHP 7.4 or later. * WPML Multilingual CMS installed and active. * An OpenAI API key supplied by the site administrator. * An OpenAI account with API access. OpenAI API usage may incur charges from OpenAI. #### External services Translation Assistant uses the OpenAI API to translate content. When you start a translation, content from the selected WordPress post is sent to OpenAI so that OpenAI can return translated text. Depending on the content of your post, this may include the post title, body content, excerpt, and other text that Translation Assistant needs to translate. The request is made only after the site administrator configures an OpenAI API key and starts or configures translation through the plugin. This service is provided by OpenAI and is subject to OpenAI’s terms and privacy policy: * OpenAI: https://openai.com/ * Terms of Use: https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use/ * Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy/ Translation Assistant also integrates with WPML Multilingual CMS installed on the same WordPress site. WPML is a separate product and is not bundled with this plugin. * WPML: https://wpml.org/ #### Translation safety Before starting a translation, Translation Assistant checks the WPML state of the selected article. If a translation already exists, or if WPML Translation Management is already processing that language, Translation Assistant can stop the operation to help avoid duplicate translations. ## Screenshots [⌊Translation Assistant Dashboard — Monitor translated articles, queue status, recent translations and system health at a glance.⌉⌊Translation Assistant Dashboard — Monitor translated articles, queue status, recent translations and system health at a glance .⌉[ Translation Assistant Dashboard — Monitor translated articles, queue status, recent translations and system health at a glance.

No. Translation Assistant uses WPML to identify languages and associate translated posts with their source posts. ### Do I need an OpenAI API key? Yes. You provide your own OpenAI API key in the plugin settings. ### Is OpenAI usage included with the plugin? No. OpenAI is an independent external service. API usage and any related charges are managed through your OpenAI account. ### What data is sent to OpenAI? When a translation is requested, the text required to translate the selected WordPress content is sent to the OpenAI API. See the External services section for details. ### Can translated posts be created as drafts? Yes. You can choose the publication status used for newly created translations. ### What happens if WPML is already translating the article? Translation Assistant can block the operation and ask you to cancel the in-progress WPML translation before starting the same translation with Translation Assistant. ### Is there a Premium edition? A separate Premium add-on can provide additional functionality such as scheduled automations. The WordPress.org edition remains fully functional on its own for manual translation and bulk queue processing, provided WPML and an OpenAI API key are available. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Translation Assistant with OpenAI and WPML” is open source software.
