    One feature will be super helpful for the multilingual heavy operator.


    Content ReSync: resync content across different posts, pages, parts and templates, after the second edition.

    For example, a website that needs 4 languages translated: for the first-time translation now, the translator doesn’t need to translate everything from scratch, the content syncs automatically by creating a new language. But when some parts need to be edited a second time, such as updating the page structure, template or the sync pattern, the translator needs to rewrite all the content again. So I think we should add a resync button to resync everything, especially reusable content like page columns, template structure, etc. The translator can focus on the language translation.

    Hi FREEZhao,

    Thank you for the good suggestion! It makes a lot of sense for sites with several languages.

    Right now I’m finishing 1.0.7, which brings a good set of improvements: more reliable custom field sync (ACF, Meta Box), more reliable shared stock across WooCommerce language copies, performance improvements, better imports from WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress, and many smaller fixes. I’m taking extra time to test it well before release.

    Your Content ReSync idea is planned for 1.0.8. The plan:

    • a “Resync from source” action that brings over the new page, template or pattern structure;
    • existing translations kept for every part whose text hasn’t changed, even when you move it or put it in a different block;
    • only new or changed parts marked for translation, or machine translated with the surrounding text as context, if you choose;
    • when you add a new language, the same run can create the missing translations and save them as drafts;
    • the result is saved for your review before it replaces a published translation, or applied automatically if you prefer; either way you can undo it;
    • if you want, all of this can run by itself when you update a page or add a language.

    For 1.0.8: pages, posts, templates, template parts, synced patterns, navigation menus and custom fields; page builders later.

    Thanks again for the valuable feedback and ideas!
