<p>What is LangBranch</p>
<p>It’s a simple plugin enable you to use a shortcode like below to display correspond language version of content based on <code>get_locale()</code>.<br />
    `php<br />
[langbranch aio en_US=”English version” en_GB=”en_US” zh_TW=”中文版本” ja_JP=”日本語バージョン”]</p>
<p>[langbranch en_US]<br />
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US”.<br />
[/langbranch]<br />
[langbranch en_US zh_TW]<br />
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US” or “zh_TW”.<br />
[/langbranch]<br />
    `</p>
<p>Motivation</p>
<p>I’ve been using TranslatePress to provide multi locale experience for visiters.<br />
However, I had been suffering from losting translated content once I update original language’s content, until I decided to create a simple shortcode to solve this problem.</p>
<p>Usages</p>
<h3>AIO (1-liner) Mode</h3>
<p>“`php<br />
[langbranch aio en_US=”English version” en_GB=”en_US” zh_TW=”中文版本” ja_JP=”日本語バージョン”]<br />
    <code>By appending</code>aio` after langbranch main tag, you can setup one specific paragraph in several languages, and if you decide that some locale user to share the same language, you can just type the locale code you want to refer to directly in content. For example, you can make UK version the same as US version.</p>
<p>However, if LangBranch go too deep (chain over 5 stacks) it will fail.<br />
Don’t do this:<br />
    –1—||—2—||—3—||—4—||—5—||—6—> Oh no!<br />
    en_US -> en_GB -> en_AU -> en_HK -> zh_TW -> ja_JP</p>
<h3>Seperate Mode</h3>
<p>“`php<br />
[langbranch en_US]<br />
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US”.<br />
[/langbranch][langbranch en_US zh_TW]<br />
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US” or “zh_TW”.<br />
這裡的內容，只有當 get_locale() 回傳 “en_US” 或 “zh_TW” 才會顯示。<br />
[/langbranch]<br />
    <code>Very straight forward, isn't?<br />
But when using several shortcodes, I would suggest you don't put a linebreak between</code>[/langbranch]<code>and</code>[langbranch]<code>, in order to prevent unwanted linebreak</code><br />` being rendered.</p>
<p>Optional step</p>
<p>All contents enclosed by <code>[langbranch]</code> will be rendered enclosed by <code><div class="langbranch"></div></code><br />
So if you are using auto machine translating like TranslatePress offers, you may want to exclude all selector <code>.langbranch</code>.</p>
<p>Recaps</p>
<p>What this “plugin” do is very simple, it doesn’t has access to either filesystem or database.</p>
<p>However, you still have chance to encounter some issues while using it.<br />
For the worst case, it breaks your site up if script produce error.<br />
If that happen, do not be panic!<br />
Just go to your <code>wp-content/plugins</code> directory and delete <code>langbranch</code> and you shall be fine.</p>

<p><strong>Hybrid AI Translator for TranslatePress</strong> 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.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>TranslatePress detects new strings that need translating.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>TranslatePress stores the translation in its database. The next visitor sees the cached translation immediately.</li>
</ol>
<h4>What you get in this Free plugin</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Google Translate (Unofficial)</strong> provider — fast, high quality, no API key needed.</li>
<li>Configurable timeout, chunk size, and per-request character limit.</li>
<li>Per-translation log viewer so you can see exactly which strings were translated, when, and how long they took.</li>
<li>One-click “Test” button to verify connectivity from your server.</li>
<li>Clean uninstall — all plugin options are removed when you delete the plugin from the WordPress admin.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why “Hybrid”?</h4>
<p>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 <strong>Pro</strong> 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.</p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin only contacts the translation endpoint you’ve configured (by default: <code>translate.googleapis.com</code>). It sends only the strings TranslatePress asks it to translate.</li>
<li>No telemetry, no tracking, no analytics, no calls to any other server.</li>
<li>No personal data of your visitors is sent anywhere — only the page text that needs translating.</li>
<li>See the FAQ for the full data flow.</li>
</ul>
<h4>External services</h4>
<p>This plugin connects to one external service to function:</p>
<p><strong>Google Translate (Unofficial)</strong> — <code>https://translate.googleapis.com/translate_a/single</code><br />
* What is sent: the source text strings TranslatePress needs translated, plus the source/target language codes.<br />
* When: only when TranslatePress requests a translation for a string that is not yet cached.<br />
* Why: to receive the translated text.<br />
* Provider: Google. Terms: <a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">https://policies.google.com/terms</a>. Privacy: <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">https://policies.google.com/privacy</a>.</p>
<p>You can change the endpoint URL in the plugin settings if you self-host a compatible service.</p>
<h4>Pro version (optional)</h4>
<p>A separate <strong>Pro</strong> 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 <a href="https://mojibur.com/hybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress-pro" rel="nofollow ugc">mojibur.com/hybrid-ai-translator-for-translatepress-pro</a>. The Free plugin is complete on its own — Pro is optional.</p>
