About this plugin
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:
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. com/terms. 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. com/hybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress-pro. The Free plugin is complete on its own — Pro is optional.
