Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress
Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress registers a new automatic translation engine inside the TranslatePress Multilingual plugin. When a visitor opens a translated URL, this engine automatically translates the page content and TranslatePress caches the result in its own database, so future visits are instant.
How it works
- TranslatePress detects new strings that need translating.
- Our engine sends them to the public Google Translate endpoint (the same endpoint the Chrome browser translate extension uses) and gets back the translated text.
- TranslatePress stores the translation in its database. The next visitor sees the cached translation immediately.
What you get in this Free plugin
- Google Translate (Unofficial) provider — fast, high quality, no API key needed.
- Configurable timeout, chunk size, and per-request character limit.
- Per-translation log viewer so you can see exactly which strings were translated, when, and how long they took.
- One-click « Test » button to verify connectivity from your server.
- Clean uninstall — all plugin options are removed when you delete the plugin from the WordPress admin.
Why « Hybrid »?
The architecture is designed to support multiple translation providers chained together with automatic fallback. The Free plugin ships with Google Translate (Unofficial) only. A separate Pro add-on extends the chain with AI-based providers (ChatGPT-compatible / Groq / OpenRouter / DeepSeek / LM Studio / Ollama) and a Tone-and-Style control. The Free plugin is fully functional on its own and does not require Pro.
Privacy
- This plugin only contacts the translation endpoint you’ve configured (by default:
translate.googleapis.com). It sends only the strings TranslatePress asks it to translate. - No telemetry, no tracking, no analytics, no calls to any other server.
- No personal data of your visitors is sent anywhere — only the page text that needs translating.
- See the FAQ for the full data flow.
External services
This plugin connects to one external service to function:
Google Translate (Unofficial) — https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single
* What is sent: the source text strings TranslatePress needs translated, plus the source/target language codes.
* When: only when TranslatePress requests a translation for a string that is not yet cached.
* Why: to receive the translated text.
* Provider: Google. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
You can change the endpoint URL in the plugin settings if you self-host a compatible service.
Pro version (optional)
A separate Pro add-on adds AI-based translation providers (OpenAI-compatible: ChatGPT, Groq, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, LM Studio, Ollama) with custom Tone-and-Style control. The Pro add-on is sold separately at mojibur.com/hybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress-pro. The Free plugin is complete on its own — Pro is optional.
