Translation Engine – AI Providers<\/em>.<\/p>\nYou bring your own key, so translations are billed to you by the engine directly, at their published
\nrates. The plugin never charges per translation and nothing passes through our servers \u2014 requests go
\nfrom your WordPress server to the engine and back.<\/p>\n
You will need billing set up on your provider account before requests succeed.<\/p>\n
There is one way to translate that needs no key at all: connecting the site to Claude or ChatGPT and
\ntranslating from inside the conversation, where the assistant does the work and nothing is billed per
\ntranslation. See Translating from Claude and ChatGPT (MCP)<\/em>. Everything else on this page assumes an
\nengine key.<\/p>\n4. Describe your website<\/h2>\n
Still on Settings \u2192 General<\/strong>, the Website Description<\/strong> box is worth two minutes.<\/p>\nWhatever you write there is sent to the model with every translation. A shop selling climbing gear
\nand a law firm use the same words to mean very different things, and this is what tells the model
\nwhich one it is looking at. It is the single cheapest thing you can do to improve translation
\nquality.<\/p>\n
5. Translate something<\/h2>\n
Go to AI Translation \u2192 Translations<\/strong>, pick a post, tick the target languages and start. See
\nHow to Translate?<\/em>.<\/p>\nTranslations are collected by a background task that runs every minute. Check History<\/strong> to see
\nwhat was sent, what came back, and what the job actually cost.<\/p>\nIf you would rather translate from Claude or ChatGPT, using the subscription you already pay for
\ninstead of an engine key, set that up under AI Translation \u2192 Settings \u2192 MCP<\/strong> \u2014 see
\nTranslating from Claude and ChatGPT (MCP)<\/em>.<\/p>\nWhat to check if nothing happens<\/h2>\n
Translations are collected by WP-Cron. On hosts where WP-Cron is unreliable, the Dashboard<\/strong>
\nshows a warning about it, and Settings \u2192 Advanced \u2192 Manual Check Responses<\/strong> adds a button that
\ncollects finished jobs on demand. If you have WP-CLI, wp latwaitp run<\/code> does the same from the
\ncommand line. See Translation stuck in “Queued” status<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
