Getting Started with LATW Cloud

LATW Cloud translates your WordPress site on LATW’s servers instead of your own (and Drupal,
PrestaShop and Webflow sites too). Your site no longer
calls an AI provider and waits for WP-Cron to collect the answer: LATW Cloud reads the text from
your site, translates it and writes the translation back. Long pages and large batches stop
depending on your host’s timeouts.

You manage everything in one place, app.latw.ai: your sites, the model,
the glossary, the prompt, what you spend and every translation job.

#1. Create a LATW account

Sign up at app.latw.ai. If you already bought a PRO licence, use the same
account — your licences and LATW Cloud live in the same panel.

There is nothing to pay at this point. Without a plan the account is on Pay as you go: one
site, paid with LATW Credits as you translate. Plans explains what the paid plans add.

#2. Install a LATW plugin that connects to LATW Cloud

Your site uses	Install
WPML	LATW AI Translation for WPML — the free version is enough
Polylang	LATW AI Translation for Polylang — the free version is enough
LATW Multilingual	LATW Multilingual with the PRO add-on
Drupal (TMGMT)	The Drupal module TMGMT LATW Cloud (AI Translation)
PrestaShop	The PrestaShop module LATW Cloud (AI Translation)
Webflow	Nothing — the site connects with a Webflow site token

Use the latest version of the plugin or module. TranslatePress, Shopify and Wix are
on the way and not available yet.

#3. Connect the site

In WordPress, open the plugin’s settings, choose LATW Cloud as the engine and press
Connect with LATW. In Drupal, go to Translation → Providers → LATW Cloud instead, and in
PrestaShop to International → LATW Cloud. A window opens where you sign in to LATW and press Authorize.
A Webflow site is connected from the panel: Sites → Add site → Webflow, where you paste a site
token generated in Webflow.

The whole procedure, including what to do when LATW Cloud cannot reach your site, is in
Connecting a Site; for a store, Connecting PrestaShop; for Webflow, Connecting Webflow.

#4. Choose how you pay for translations

• LATW Credits — open Credits in the panel and top up from $5. No API key, no account
  with an AI provider. Your first top-up is limited to $10. See LATW Credits and Pricing.
• Your own API key — available from the Solo plan. Translations are billed by OpenAI to
  your key and nothing is taken from your Credits. See Using Your Own API Key.

A new site translates with LATW Credits and the Economy model until you change it in the
site’s settings.

#5. Check the site’s settings (Optional)

Open Sites, pick the site and go to the Settings tab. This is where the model, the target
languages, the glossary, the prompt, the website description and the budget limits are set — and
while the site is connected, only here. The plugin locks its own fields for them. See
Site Settings.

#6. Translate

You can start a translation from either side:

• In WordPress, use the plugin’s translation screens exactly as before. The plugin hands what
  you selected to LATW Cloud as a job.
• In the panel, open the site’s Content tab, tick what you want translated and press
  Translate. See Translating Content.

Every translation, wherever it was started, becomes a job you can follow under Jobs — see
Following and Managing Jobs.

#What LATW Cloud does not do

• It does not translate on save. Nothing is translated until you start it. The PRO plugins’
  automatic translation on save is switched off while the site is connected.
• It only uses AI models. DeepL, Google Translate, MyMemory and custom endpoints stay
  available in the plugin when the site is not connected, not in LATW Cloud.
• It does not replace the plugin. What counts as translatable content, and how a finished
  translation is saved, is still decided by the plugin on your site.
