<h4>Why Use Translera?</h4>
<p>Translera helps make your WordPress site easier to read for international visitors while keeping your URLs structured for multilingual SEO.

<h3>Configuration</h3>

<ul>
<li>Choose the default site language.</li>

</ul>
<p>Subdirectory URLs are recommended for clean, SEO-friendly multilingual site structure.</p>

<p>This plugin uses Google translation services to translate page content and language-switcher labels. Translation requests are sent only when a visitor views a non-default language version of your site (or when an administrator runs a translation test from the settings screen).</p>
<h4>Google Cloud Translation API</h4>
<p>When you enter a Google Cloud API key in <strong>Translera > Settings</strong>, the plugin sends translation requests to the official Google Cloud Translation API (<code>https://translation.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2</code>).</p>
<p><strong>What is sent:</strong> The text to translate, source language code, target language code, and your API key.</p>
<p><strong>When it is sent:</strong> During server-side translation (when enabled via the <code>translera_auto_translate</code> filter), REST API translation tests from the admin, and any server-side caching of translations.</p>
<p><strong>Service provider:</strong> Google LLC — <a href="https://cloud.google.com/terms/service-terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Terms of Service</a>, <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>
<h4>Google Translate (free endpoint)</h4>
<p>When no API key is configured, the plugin may use Google’s public translate endpoint (<code>https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single</code>) for server-side and browser-side translation.</p>
<p><strong>What is sent:</strong> The text to translate, source language code, target language code, and a client identifier (<code>gtx</code>). No API key is sent.</p>
<p><strong>When it is sent:</strong> When a visitor loads a page in a non-default language (browser-side translation in <code>frontend.js</code>), during server-side translation when enabled, and during admin translation tests.</p>
<p><strong>Service provider:</strong> Google LLC — <a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Terms of Service</a>, <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The free endpoint is not part of the official Google Cloud Translation API and may be subject to usage limits or changes by Google. For production sites, Google recommends using the Cloud Translation API with your own API key.</p>
