SlyTranslate wires AI translation into WordPress at three different levels: the admin UI, the Gutenberg editor, and from external LLM tools via MCP. Whichever level you work at, the same language plugin integrations and translation quality controls apply.
It works with any LLM available through a WordPress AI connector and natively supports Polylang, WP Multilang, WPGlobus, and TranslatePress Multilingual.
What it does
- Translates posts, pages, and custom post types into any language managed by your active language plugin
- Translates selected text or entire Gutenberg blocks inline, without leaving the editor
- Exposes the same functionality as MCP abilities, so external LLM tools (Claude Code, Codex, and others) can drive translations programmatically
- Carries SEO metadata (title, description) through the same translation workflow as the post content
- Translates custom fields from ACF (including ACF blocks and options pages), Meta Box, and Pods automatically — no configuration required when the field plugin is active
- Handles long and structured content with chunking and output validation
- Supports model-specific profiles that tune prompt style and retry behavior for known model families
Workflow 1 — Admin UI translation (posts & pages overview, side panel)
Translate full posts or pages directly inside WordPress admin — either one at a time from the editor side panel or in bulk from the list view.
Requirements: language plugin + configured AI Connector
From the post/page list , select one or more items and choose a translation action from the bulk-actions menu. A dialog lets you pick target language, model, and whether to overwrite existing translations. Progress updates live while the translation runs, and you can cancel at any time.
From the editor side panel , the same controls appear alongside the post you are currently editing. TranslatePress users get an equivalent panel inside the TranslatePress visual editor on ?trp-edit-translation pages.
The language plugin (Polylang, WP Multilang, WPGlobus, or TranslatePress) handles the translated post as it normally would — SlyTranslate creates or updates the translated entry and lets the language plugin own the relationship.
