Page Comparison

Once you have chosen which languages you would like to use, you will be ready to translate your site.
 

1. Go to your site’s list of posts/pages.
2. Choose which content to translate (and then upload it to Lingotek).
3. Request the translation and have a linguist complete it.
4. Download the completed translation to your WordPress site.

Getting Started

Once the plugin is installed, a small status icon will appear next to each translatable WordPress item. 
This icon will change as the document moves through each step of the translation process.

Translation Icon Descriptions

•  Upload
  This icon displays next to content that might need translation. 
  Click this icon to send the item to Lingotek.
   

• Upload complete
  This icon appears next to the source document once it has finished uploading to Lingotek.
  
  

  Note
  title Important!
  For best results, be sure the upload completes before requesting a translation.

  
  
  

•  Request translation
  Click this icon to request translation into a specific language.
  
   

•  Translation in progress
  This icon appears while the translation is in progress. A translator can click this icon to open the item in the Translator Workbench.

•  Download 
  The download icon appears when the translation is 100% complete. Click this icon to download the completed translation to your WordPress site.

•  Edit
  Once a page/post is downloaded, you can go back and edit the translation by clicking the Edit icon.
  
  
   
•  Out of Sync
  An out of sync icon appears when the original page has been updated since the last time it was if an update is made to a page that was previously translated. Click this the out of sync icon to request translation translations for the this updated content.
  
  
   

Click an icon to complete the steps listed above, or for many actions, use the Bulk Actions menu.

Whether you manage the translation with the document icons or with the Bulk Actions menu, be sure each item passes through the following steps:

 Between each step, be sure to refresh the page. You can do this by clicking or bulk-selecting “Update Translation Status.” 

If you need to run the same action on many documents (e.g. Update Translation Status), you can speed the process by using the Bulk Actions menu.

Bulk Actions

To run a bulk action,

1. Click the checkbox at the very top of the list.
   
   (This will select all items on the page).
    Tip: If you need to deselect an item, click the box again.
    
2. Under the Bulk Actions menu, scroll to select an action.
    
3. Click Apply.

The action will be applied to all selected documents.
