AI-powered automatic website translation with local WordPress storage, background queue, SEO, WooCommerce, Elementor and Gutenberg support.

== Description ==

Developed by [macas](https://github.com/maca59).

**maca Translate** automatically translates your website to any language using AI providers. Translations are stored locally in WordPress — not on a third-party SaaS.

Features:

* Multiple AI providers (OpenAI, DeepL, Google, Azure, WordPress AI Client)
* Smart Translate — only new or changed content
* Translation Memory — reuse identical previous translations
* Smart Sync — mark outdated translations when the source changes
* AI Proofread — improve existing translations with AI
* Bulk Translate — queue hundreds of pages and posts
* Background translation queue
* Language switcher shortcode (links, flags, or dropdown)
* Automatic language detection (browser and optional geo/country headers)
* SEO (hreflang, meta, sitemap)
* WooCommerce products, categories, attributes and shop pages
* Elementor and Gutenberg support
* Glossary and human review workflow

== Installation ==

1. Upload the `maca-translate` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
3. Open **maca Translate → Providers** and configure an AI provider
4. Enable target languages under **Languages**
5. Start translating from **Automatic** or **Pages**

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where are translations stored? =

In custom tables in your WordPress database. No external translation SaaS is required for serving content.

= Can I re-translate a page after editing? =

Yes. Open **Pages**, select the page and languages, then click **Translate again**. Smart Sync also marks outdated translations when the original changes.

= How do I show a language dropdown? =

Use `[maca_translate_switcher style="dropdown"]` or `[maca_lang_dropdown]`.
