Tip for best performance<\/strong> - Use Memcached or Redis for even faster caching (optional)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\nPermalinks<\/h3>\n\n
AI Translate requires friendly permalinks<\/strong> to function properly. The plugin automatically sets your permalinks to the \"Post name\" structure (\/%postname%\/<\/code>) during activation if they are currently set to \"Plain\". This is necessary for the language-prefixed URLs (e.g., \/de\/<\/code>, \/en\/<\/code>) to work correctly.<\/p>\n\nIf you manually change permalinks to \"Plain\" after activation, you will see a warning in the WordPress admin, and the language switching will not work as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n
\nWhat are the costs for using AI Translate?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAI Translate is free to use, but you need an API key from an AI service provider like OpenAI or Deepseek. Costs depend on your usage and the provider you choose. At OpenAI, translating an average 500-word page costs approximately \u20ac0.01.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Which languages are supported?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAI Translate supports 35+ languages including Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Georgian, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Greek, Romanian, and more.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How does caching work?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAI Translate uses a smart caching system that stores translations in WordPress and files. Translations are only regenerated when the original content changes. This saves API costs and improves your website speed.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does AI Translate work with all themes?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes! AI Translate is designed to work with all WordPress themes. The plugin uses standard WordPress functions, so compatibility is guaranteed.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How is my privacy protected?<\/h3><\/dt>\nAI Translate only sends website content for translation to the AI service. No personal data, IP addresses, or other privacy-sensitive information is shared. All translations are stored locally in the cache.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What happens if the AI service is unavailable?<\/h3><\/dt>\nIf the AI service is temporarily unavailable, AI Translate displays the original content in the default language. Cached translations remain available and your website continues to work normally.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How can I optimize performance?<\/h3><\/dt>\nFor optimal performance, we recommend:<\/p>\n\n
\n- Using a caching plugin like Jetpack, WP Rocket, or W3 Total Cache<\/li>\n
- Configuring Memcached or Redis for database caching<\/li>\n
- Adjusting cache duration based on how often you update content<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/dd>\n
Can I use AI Translate for a multilingual webshop?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes! AI Translate works with WooCommerce and other e-commerce plugins. Product titles, descriptions, and categories are automatically translated. Note: prices and technical specifications are not translated.<\/p><\/dd>\n
How often are translations updated?<\/h3><\/dt>\nTranslations are only updated when the original content changes. This happens automatically and prevents unnecessary API costs. You can also manually clear the cache via the admin settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Is AI Translate SEO-friendly?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes! AI Translate is fully SEO-friendly. It automatically generates hreflang tags, meta tags, translates URL slugs, and ensures search engines can properly index all language versions. You do not even need additional SEO plugins anymore<\/p><\/dd>\n
What do I need to do if a language is not translated ?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot all languages can be translated with all models. So first make sure you use a model that supports the language. Another reason can be that the rewrite rules must be flushed when adding an new language. Disable and enable the plugin will do this.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I customize the AI prompts?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe AI prompts are optimized for the best translations by analyzing your website and adjusting the tone. You can add extra context about your site in the admin settings, but this should not be necessary.<\/p><\/dd>\n
What's the difference between \"Enabled Languages\" and \"Detectable Languages\"?<\/h3><\/dt>\nEnabled Languages<\/strong> are languages visible in the language switcher (the flag button on your website). Visitors can directly select these languages.<\/p>\n\nDetectable Languages<\/strong> are automatically detected based on the visitor's browser language, but are not visible in the switcher. Ideal for languages you want to support without cluttering the interface.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n2.2.9<\/h3>\n\n\n- Fix potential 500 error in clean installations. <\/li>\n
