* My WordPress site is the front end of a forum. We have have numerous inline html
snippets used throughout the website. The inline html is updated every hour.
The challenge is the translations is not catching the updates.
I use the following
block to insert the dynamic text: [inline_html file=”my-filename.php”]Sample
page: [https://lotuselan.net/lotus-elan-series-2/](https://lotuselan.net/lotus-elan-series-2/)
Look at the Current Discussions in the right sidebar. When you switch between
English and French: the French version was cached when the AI translation occurred.
The English version is showing in real time.Is there a way to flag a dynamic
insert not to be cached?Is there a way to flag a different inline html file based
on desired language? i.e. if lang=ja file=myfile_ja Is there a way to flag a
dynamic insert to be retranslated on a shorter cache duration than 14 days?Thank
you

* Hi,
* Thanks for the clear example — that behaviour is expected with how AI Translate
works.
* English is the source language of the site. That version is not served from the
translation cache, so WordPress runs `[inline_html]` on every request and you
see the hourly update immediately.
* French (and any other translated language) is a full-page snapshot: the complete
HTML, including the sidebar. That snapshot is reused until the cache expires (
14 days by default) or the WordPress page itself is updated. Updating a PHP file
on disk does not change the WordPress page, so the French sidebar stays frozen
at the moment it was translated.
* There is no way to flag a single insert as “don’t cache”, “use another file per
language”, or “shorter cache than 14 days”. The plugin caches whole pages, not
fragments. A per-block exception would be a custom integration for one shortcode,
and skipping cache for the whole page would retranslate the entire page on every
visit — slow and expensive.
* The practical approach is to load that dynamic block after the page, for example
with JavaScript/AJAX, instead of inserting it into the page HTML. Then it stays
live in every language and is not part of the translation cache. Language-specific
files (`myfile_ja.php`, etc.) would also belong in that loader / your shortcode,
not in AI Translate.
