The posts lists
The Translation Dashboard page contains a posts list. Is a list of posts and pages managed by the Translation Dashboard plugin. You may list by status (untranslated, automatically translated, draft and publish). You may list also by source or target language and also, order alphabetically by source or target, date or mode (manual/automatic).
Each row of the list shows data for a single post or page. You can review or edit them again following the view and edit links. The columns of the list are:
- Status (untranslated, automatically translated, draft or publish)
- Mode (auto or manual)
- Type (post or page)
- Source post id
- Source language
- Source title
- Source view and edit links
- Target post id
- Target language
- Target title
- Target view and edit links
- Source is blocked for new translations
- Target is blocked for new translations
The list contains only post and pages managed by the plugin. A post or page created before the plugin installation will not appear in this list. But, just editing the post with automatic or manual translation, and saving it, makes the post managed by Translation Dashboard.
Notice
Translate a post automatically
Post and pages with status ‘Untranslated’ can be translated. In the Translation Dashboard page click the button ‘Automatic Translation’ to begin a translation process. A summary of the translation process is displayed.
In the example above, only one post is processed with post id 106. The translation process parses all sentences and gets 171 previously translated sentences and sends only 3 untranslated sentences to Google Translator. After automatic translation no post is created yet.
Review sentences translations
As no post or page is created until the draft button is clicked, you can review the translated sentences which are stored in the database or create drafts immediately. The review process is an optional step. If you review an edit translations you can improve new translations that will be reused in future translation of the same post or new posts.
You can review and edit sentences translation in the ‘Sentences’ page.
Manual translations of a post
Manual posts translations are created in a similar way.
Create Drafts
The ‘Create drafts’ button copies the translation to a new post or page. The new post always has status as ‘draft’. You can review, edit and publish the new post from the post editor as usual and the translation process ends.
