Hi @jodewo
I have no connection with this plugin, I just happened to see your question.
As far as I understand, TranslatePress is a plugin that gives you the framework needed in order to create a multilingual website. But the plugin itself won’t actually translate anything. Depending on current language, it will switch in the correct language packs for WordPress, your theme and your plugins (if available).
In addition, this plugin gives you the space where you can enter your content in more than one language. But the content (posts and pages for sure. I don’t know how this particular plugin handles comments) needs to be translated by you.
Hello,
TranslatePress does not translate text itself but you can link a Google/DeepL API key to the plugin that will handle the automatic translation.
However, you won’t be able to add text in English(secondary language) and translate it to Swedish(primary language).You can only translate text from the default language into secondary languages.
>Alternatively, is it possible to publish translation along with the product? Ex. use shortcodes to show what is Swedish what is English.
I am not sure that I understand the question.Could you please provide more details?
We have a Conditional Shortcode that lets you display content based on the chosen language.
Using the shortcode you can show content that is exclusive for that specific language.
With the best regards,
@dragosvrejiu the page you linked about conditional shortcode indicates a locale en_EN in one example. Note that we don’t have such a locale code with WordPress. (en_US, en_GB, etc – yes… the full list is at https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/ )
