## Description
Langloom translates a WordPress site without creating duplicate posts. Translations
live in dedicated database tables and are swapped in at request time via WordPress
filters, so your post count stays clean and your database stays lean.
**Key features:**
* **No duplicate posts:** translations are stored in two custom tables, not as
post copies
* **Clean URLs:** each language gets its own slug (e.g. `/fr/about/`) with proper`
hreflang` and canonical tags
* **Visual translation editor:** click any text on the front-end to translate it
inline, no Gutenberg required
* **AI translation:** one-click AI-assisted draft translations (requires an API
key)
* **Full SEO support:** translated ``, Open Graph tags, `<html lang>`, and
XML sitemaps
* **Form element support:** placeholders, button labels, and select options are
automatically detected and translatable
* **Query-string mode:** optional `?lang=fr_FR` routing for setups that can’t use
subdirectories
* **WordPress 6.5+ native:** uses `WP_HTML_Tag_Processor`; zero third-party dependencies
**Free vs Pro**
Langloom is fully functional for one additional language. The visual editor, AI
translation, and the complete SEO stack (hreflang, canonical, sitemaps, translated
title, meta description and Open Graph) are all included, with no metered character
limits and no feature locked behind a paywall.
If you need more than one additional language, Langloom Pro is a separate add-on
that raises that limit. It is not required for anything else, and the plugin is
fully usable without it.
### External services
Langloom works fully offline by default and does not contact any external service
during normal site operation. No data is ever sent about your site’s visitors.
The plugin can optionally connect to a third-party machine-translation service **
only** to power the “AI translation” feature, and **only** when you have explicitly
enabled it. To use it you must turn on AI Translation in **Settings Langloom**,
choose a provider, and paste your own API key. Nothing is sent until an administrator
clicks **Translate** on a piece of content in the editor. Each request sends the
text you chose to translate together with the source and target language codes and
your API key. Your visitors never trigger these requests.
You can use either of the following providers:
**DeepL API**
Used to generate machine-translation suggestions for the text you
are editing. What is sent, and when: the selected text plus source/target language
codes and your DeepL API key, sent only when an administrator clicks Translate with
DeepL selected as the provider. Requests go to `https://api-free.deepl.com` (free
keys) or `https://api.deepl.com` (paid keys). Terms of Use: https://www.deepl.com/
en/pro-license Privacy Policy: https://www.deepl.com/en/privacy
**Google Gemini API**
Used to generate machine-translation suggestions for the
text you are editing (works well for Asian and right-to-left languages). What is
sent, and when: the selected text plus source/target language codes and your Google
API key, sent only when an administrator clicks Translate with Gemini selected as
the provider. Requests go to `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com`. Terms
of Use: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/terms Privacy Policy: https://policies.
google.com/privacy
### Privacy Policy
Langloom does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data about your site’s
visitors. The only outbound network requests are the optional, admin-initiated machine-
translation calls described under **External services** above, which are made solely
to the provider you configure with your own API key.

## Installation
1. Upload the `langloom-translation-manager` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.

4. Visit any page on the front-end. The **Translate** button appears in the admin
bar.
## FAQ
### Does this create extra posts for each language?
No. Translations are stored in two custom database tables (`langloom_translations`
for post fields, `langloom_strings` for everything else). Your post count is unchanged.
### Which URL structures are supported?
Two modes: **subdirectory** (e.g. `/fr/about/`) and **query string** (e.g. `/about/?
lang=fr_FR`). Subdirectory mode is recommended for SEO.
### Does it work with page builders and custom themes?
Yes. The visual editor scans the live DOM, so it works with any theme or page builder
that renders content to the browser. Form elements (placeholders, submit buttons,
select options) are detected automatically via PHP output buffering.
### Can I translate custom post types?
Yes. Any singular post type that WordPress treats as a `WP_Post` is supported.
### How many languages can I add for free?
Your site’s default language plus one additional language. Every other feature (
the visual editor, AI translation, hreflang, sitemaps, and translated meta description/
Open Graph tags) is included with no limits. If you need more languages, Langloom
Pro is a separate add-on that raises the cap.
### Is the AI translation feature required?
No. AI translation is an optional feature. The visual editor and all core translation
functionality work without it.
