TranslateSense Overview

Understand automatic translation for Polylang, supported editors, providers, XML rules, and caching.

TranslateSense adds AI-assisted translation workflows to WordPress sites that use Polylang. The supplied plugin ZIP includes integrations for Gutenberg and Elementor, support for Classic Editor workflows, XML-based content mapping, bulk translation processing, background jobs, and database-backed translation memory. The exact workflow depends on the editor and settings available on your site.

Core capabilities

  • Polylang integration: use Polylang to configure languages and associate translated content.
  • Supported editors: translation code is included for Gutenberg, Elementor, and Classic Editor workflows. Confirm the relevant editor integration is available on your site.
  • XML content mapping: configure which supported block, widget, or field values are extracted for translation.
  • AI translation providers: configure a supported provider and its credentials before sending content for translation.
  • Bulk and background processing: process translation work in batches where the relevant workflow is available.
  • Translation memory: the plugin stores reusable source strings and translated strings in its database tables to reduce repeated provider requests.

Initial setup sequence

  1. Install and activate Polylang.
  2. Install and activate TranslateSense.
  3. Configure the source and target languages in Polylang.
  4. Open Languages → TranslateSense.
  5. Configure an available AI provider and review the translation settings.
