Available in LATW AI Translation for Polylang PRO<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

PRO is an add-on<\/strong>. It installs alongside the free plugin instead of replacing it, and it contains
\nno translation engine of its own \u2014 the engine, the screens and your translation history all stay in
\nthe free plugin. PRO adds its features inside the screens you already know.<\/p>\n

That means you need both plugins active, and it means nothing has to be migrated when you buy PRO or
\nwhen you stop using it.<\/p>\n

Install it<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Install and activate the free LATW AI Translation for Polylang<\/strong> first: Plugins \u2192 Add New<\/strong>,
    \nsearch for its name, or download it from
    \nwordpress.org\/plugins\/latw-ai-translation-for-polylang<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Plugins \u2192 Add New \u2192 Upload Plugin<\/strong> and upload the PRO .zip from your account.<\/li>\n
  3. Activate it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you upload PRO before the free plugin is in place, WordPress 6.5 and later will not let you
    \nactivate it yet. On the Plugins<\/strong> screen PRO is listed as requiring LATW AI Translation for
    \nPolylang<\/strong>, with a link to install it \u2014 install and activate the free plugin, then activate PRO.
    \nOlder WordPress versions let you activate PRO straight away and show the notice described below.<\/p>\n

    If the free plugin goes missing or falls behind later \u2014 deleted by mistake, or older than PRO needs \u2014
    \nnothing breaks: PRO shows a notice with a button that installs, updates or reactivates the free
    \nplugin from WordPress.org for you.<\/p>\n

    Enter your licence key<\/h2>\n

    AI Translation \u2192 Settings \u2192 License Key<\/strong>, paste the key from your account dashboard, and click
    \nVerify License Key<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    Until the key verifies, PRO stays installed but adds nothing \u2014 the site behaves exactly as it does
    \nwith the free plugin on its own.<\/p>\n

    What happens when the licence expires<\/h2>\n

    The plugin keeps working, using the free engines and models. It is worth knowing what stops before
    \nyour licence ever lapses:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Claude and DeepL<\/strong> are no longer offered, and a site set to one of them falls back to OpenAI. If
      \nyou want translation to carry on uninterrupted, keep an OpenAI key saved.<\/li>\n
    • the PRO models disappear from the model list, and the site falls back to one the free plugin ships<\/li>\n
    • the glossary<\/strong> screen locks \u2014 your entries are not deleted<\/strong>, and come back when the licence does<\/li>\n
    • the prompt<\/strong> is shown rather than edited again, and translations use the one the free plugin
      \nships \u2014 your own wording is kept and comes back with the licence<\/li>\n
    • outdated translations<\/strong> are re-translated in full rather than only where they changed, so an
      \nupdate costs what a first translation costs<\/li>\n
    • automatic translation<\/strong> stops; posts that were waiting for it stay waiting, and go out once the
      \nlicence is back<\/li>\n
    • bulk translation<\/strong> disappears from the Translations screen, and posts are translated one at a
      \ntime from their own rows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Nothing is deleted at any point. Your Claude and DeepL keys, your prompt, your glossary and your
      \nsettings all stay exactly where they are, and renewing brings them straight back. Translations
      \nalready sent to Claude or DeepL are collected as normal, whatever your licence does in the meantime
      \n\u2014 you are never billed for work you cannot receive.<\/p>\n

      Your cost history stays correct.<\/strong> Prices for the PRO models are kept on purpose, so an expired
      \nlicence never turns the recorded cost of past translations into zeroes.<\/p>\n

      Removing PRO<\/h2>\n

      Deleting the PRO plugin removes its glossary table, its licence, its Claude and DeepL keys, its
      \nautomation and Outdated Translations settings, and its translation markers \u2014 and nothing else. Your
      \ntranslations, your settings, your history and your logs belong to the free plugin and are left
      \nexactly as they are. The site carries on translating in free mode.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
