What is LangBranch
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>. 
 `php 
[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”]
[langbranch en_US] 
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US”. 
[/langbranch] 
[langbranch en_US zh_TW] 
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US” or “zh_TW”. 
[/langbranch] 
 `
Motivation
I’ve been using TranslatePress to provide multi locale experience for visiters. 
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.
Usages
<h3>AIO (1-liner) Mode</h3>
“`php 
[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”] 
 <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.
However, if LangBranch go too deep (chain over 5 stacks) it will fail. 
Don’t do this: 
 –1—||—2—||—3—||—4—||—5—||—6—> Oh no! 
 en_US -> en_GB -> en_AU -> en_HK -> zh_TW -> ja_JP
<h3>Seperate Mode</h3>
“`php 
[langbranch en_US] 
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US”. 
[/langbranch][langbranch en_US zh_TW] 
Content here will only be displayed if get_locale() returns “en_US” or “zh_TW”. 
這裡的內容，只有當 get_locale() 回傳 “en_US” 或 “zh_TW” 才會顯示。 
[/langbranch] 
 <code>Very straight forward, isn't? 
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> ` being rendered.
Optional step
All contents enclosed by <code>[langbranch]</code> will be rendered enclosed by <code><div class="langbranch"></div></code> 
So if you are using auto machine translating like TranslatePress offers, you may want to exclude all selector <code>.langbranch</code>.
Recaps
What this “plugin” do is very simple, it doesn’t has access to either filesystem or database.
However, you still have chance to encounter some issues while using it. 
For the worst case, it breaks your site up if script produce error. 
If that happen, do not be panic! 
Just go to your <code>wp-content/plugins</code> directory and delete <code>langbranch</code> and you shall be fine.

TransLeti

Perfecto Ramón Bouso Alvarez

Transleti Connector turns <a href="https://libretranslate.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">LibreTranslate</a> into a full-featured translation engine for WordPress. It integrates seamlessly with TranslatePress and WPML, giving you unlimited automatic translations at zero cost per word.
Unlike cloud translation services that charge per character, Transleti offers unlimited automatic translations through its dedicated translation infrastructure at a flat monthly rate. No per-word fees, no surprises.
<h4>Why Transleti?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Truly unlimited — No per-word or per-character fees. Translate as much content as you need.</li>
<li>Works with what you already use — Connects to TranslatePress or WPML. No need to switch your multilingual plugin.</li>
<li>29 languages — English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Bulgarian, Czech, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and Vietnamese.</li>
<li>Privacy-first — Translations are processed on Transleti’s own dedicated servers. Your content never passes through third-party clouds like Google or Amazon.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Automatic Translation That Actually Works</h4>
Transleti doesn’t just translate text — it understands your content structure:
<ul>
<li>Elementor — Translates content directly from <code>_elementor_data</code> JSON, not the fallback HTML. Works with any Elementor addon (ElementsKit, starter themes, etc.).</li>
<li>Gutenberg — Parses blocks and translates both visible text and block attributes (headings, buttons, captions, placeholders). Supports GenerateBlocks, Spectra, Kadence, and more.</li>
<li>Classic Editor — Standard HTML content translation with full tag preservation.</li>
<li>WooCommerce — Product titles, descriptions, attributes, and category/tag names.</li>
<li>Menus — Automatically duplicates and translates navigation menus for each language.</li>
<li>Slugs — Translates URL slugs for SEO-friendly multilingual permalinks.</li>
<li>SEO Titles — Translates <code>post_title</code> so SEOPress, Yoast, and AIOSEO display correct titles in every language.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Smart Translation Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>8-Phase Batch Processor — Automated cron translates posts, page builder strings, widget strings, slugs, menus, SEO titles, re-translations, and fixes internal links. Runs in the background without manual intervention.</li>
<li>Manual Edit Protection — If you manually edit a translation, Transleti remembers and preserves your changes during re-translations.</li>
<li>Do Not Translate List — Protect brand names, technical terms, and other words that should never be translated (e.g., WordPress, WooCommerce, your brand name).</li>
<li>Change Detection — Monitors content changes via MD5 hashing. When you update a post, only that post gets re-translated.</li>
<li>SVG & HTML Preservation — Complex HTML structures, inline SVGs, and shortcodes pass through translation intact.</li>
<li>Translation Dashboard — A dashboard widget shows real-time progress: how many posts, strings, and slugs are translated per language.</li>
</ul>
<h4>SEO-Safe Untranslated Page Handling</h4>
Pages that haven’t been translated yet return a 503 (Service Unavailable) status with a <code>Retry-After</code> header, telling search engines to come back later. This prevents mixed-language content from being indexed while translations are in progress. The page is shown in the visitor’s language with a clear message and links to the homepage or the original-language version.
<h4>Remote Diagnostics & Theme Compatibility Support</h4>
Having translation issues? From Settings > Transleti > Support, send a one-click diagnostic report to the Transleti team. The report includes your environment info, translation status, active plugins, and recent errors — no passwords or personal data. You can also specify a problematic page by URL or ID to include a detailed content comparison (original vs. translated) across all languages.
Our team uses these reports to identify and resolve theme compatibility issues, page builder conflicts, and translation problems — often without needing direct access to your site.
